FIRST ALERT: Tropical update, weekend weather and more (10/2/2024)
SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Eric Jaaw provides a weather update for South Mississippi, indicating a quiet pattern with increased rain chances starting tomorrow night into Friday. While the weekend may see scattered showers, it won’t be a complete washout. Tonight’s conditions are pleasant at 79 degrees, with rising humidity. Viewers may catch a glimpse of a comet on the eastern horizon early tomorrow morning, though it may require binoculars for visibility. Concerns about tropical development in the Gulf are decreasing, and while Hurricane Kirk is being observed, models suggest weak organization due to wind shear. Rain chances rise Thursday evening into Friday.
Meteorologist Eric Jeansonne brings the latest update on tropical development and the latest forecast for Cruisin’ the Coast.
