Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms possible Thursday evening into Friday
SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Eric Jaon reports a dry spell in South Mississippi, typical for October, the driest month of the year. Despite recent dryness, there’s a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms in the coming days, particularly Thursday evening into Friday morning, due to tropical moisture from the Gulf. The highest rainfall is likely near the coast. While Hurricane Kirk is strengthening, the National Hurricane Center has reduced the chances of significant Gulf activity. A frontal system next week may bring cooler temperatures and further inhibit tropical development. The weekend looks generally dry, with a slim chance of isolated showers.
