SUMMARY: The Mississippi Power tropical outlook shows a decreasing chance for tropical development from a wave in the central Atlantic, now at 30%, down from 60%. The Central American gyre’s potential has also diminished. In Gulfport, haziness from smoke from a brush fire in Harrison County is affecting air quality, making it feel chilly. A small craft advisory is in effect for Gulf waters, but conditions are expected to improve later. Temperatures in Gulfport will reach 72°F, marking a warming trend toward upper 70s and low 80s next week, with dryer air contributing to clear skies.
