Nick's Friday PM Forecast 11/1
SUMMARY: Happy Friday, Pine Belt! November is here, and I hope you enjoyed Halloween—I certainly did with some candy. Recently, we received half an inch of rain after a three-week dry spell, with lingering showers in areas like Pike County. However, expect mostly cloudy skies with just a few sprinkles, so enjoy Friday Night Lights without worry. The tropics are also changing as hurricane season wraps up, with low pressure expected but unlikely to impact South Mississippi. Remember to prepare for earlier sunsets at 5 PM, but we should stay warm despite the shorter days. Enjoy your weekend!
