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. More rain is expected south of I-20 tonight and over the weekend, with showers likely into Saturday and Sunday.
