SUMMARY: South Mississippi will start the week with scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially Monday and Tuesday, with 1-2 inches of rain possible. Temperatures remain hot and humid, mostly in the upper 80s to low 90s. A cold front will bring more rain chances before a high-pressure ridge builds midweek, lowering rain chances by Wednesday through Friday. The Fourth of July looks mostly dry but very hot, with highs possibly in the mid to upper 90s and heat indices above 100. A low-pressure area near the Gulf or East Coast could develop into a tropical system by next weekend, bringing heavy rain, but details remain uncertain.

Meteorologist Taylor Graham explains how a soggy start to the week could be in the cards for South Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Tropical Depression Two is nearing the coast of Mexico, expected to make landfall within 12 to 24 hours, with a brief chance of strengthening into Tropical Storm Barry. It remains disorganized and weak, likely to dissipate quickly after landfall. Meanwhile, South Mississippi is experiencing a rainy Sunday morning with showers and storms moving onshore, accompanied by hot temperatures and heat indices near 100-105°F. Afternoon and evening storms may bring gusty winds and lightning. A front drifting offshore in the northeastern Gulf could bring tropical development in the next 5-7 days but poses no immediate threat to the area. Rain chances remain high into the week.

Meteorologist Aaron Colby has the latest details on Tropical Depression Two, which is nearing the coast of Mexico.
