SUMMARY: Today in South Mississippi, temperatures will reach close to 60°F, with light, spotty showers primarily in central areas this morning. As parades occur, carrying an umbrella is advisable. A more significant rain event is expected tomorrow due to a system developing off Texas, leading to widespread heavy rain on Sunday, causing many parades in New Orleans to be canceled. After the rain clears by Sunday evening, temperatures will improve next week, reaching the 70s with mostly clear skies. Additionally, a planetary parade will be visible starting Tuesday, offering a chance to see seven planets in the night sky.
