SUMMARY: Good evening, South Mississippi! The weather is calm and pleasant along the Gulf Coast, with conditions expected to remain stable throughout the week. Tonight will be clear, with gentle breezes, creating a fall-like atmosphere. While an upper-level system brings rain to the Midwest, it won’t affect our tranquil forecast here. Expect only a slight increase in moisture and temperatures later in the week. Currently, the area is dry, leading to normal river levels and no flood concerns. While some western regions may experience record highs, our temperatures are comfortably in the mid to upper 60s. Enjoy the beautiful weather!
