SUMMARY: Happy Friday! We're looking at our current rainfall status for July. June ended dry with a 2-inch deficit, and early July is nearly an inch behind, with only 0.31 inches of rain in Meridian today. Notably, other areas received more. Portions of Noxubee and Clarke Counties are abnormally dry, but recent rain has been beneficial.

Tropical Storm Barry, likely to strengthen, could bring additional moisture to Mississippi early next week. Overall, expect warm, muggy weather with scattered showers and thunderstorms.
