SUMMARY: On Friday, scattered showers are expected to start around 8 a.m., with heavier rainfall occurring in central Mississippi and Chockdo County by 1-2 p.m. Showers will continue into the afternoon, clearing around 6 p.m., keeping afternoon highs in the lower 80s. Rainfall is vital given the drought conditions in Mississippi and Alabama. For Friday Night Football, temperatures will remain in the 70s under cloudy skies. The weekend looks warmer, with good SEC football weather, though South Carolina fans should prepare for rain. Hurricane Kirk is a category 4 storm but isn’t a threat, while Tropical Storm Leslie could strengthen soon, with a 40% chance of Gulf development in the next week.
