SUMMARY: Good morning, South Mississippi! Today features beautiful blue skies with comfortable temperatures in the mid to upper 60s and low 70s along the Gulf Coast. This afternoon will remain sunny, but humidity is expected to increase, paving the way for possible thunderstorms tomorrow. Most areas stay dry today, with only a few spotty showers in northern Mississippi. There’s a potential for tropical development in the next week, but significant storms are not anticipated for the next 24-48 hours. Hurricane Kirk is projected to become a major hurricane, but it will move out into the Atlantic away from land.
