>> WE’RE WAKING UP THIS MORNING TO SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS ON THE RADAR ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI, ESPECIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF 55 THIS MORNING FROM VICKSBURG. COUPLE OF LIGHT SHOWERS UP TOWARDS SHARKEY COUNTY. PRETTY DRY RIGHT NOW FROM BAY SPRINGS TO MCGEE AND COLLINS IN THE METRO. RANKIN COUNTY HAS BEEN PRETTY DRY, BUT MADISON AND HINDS COUNTY HAVE BEEN WAKING UP TO THE LIGHT SHOWERS ON AND OFF, MOVING THROUGH LAKE CAROLINE INTO CANTON THIS MORNING, AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF LIGHT SHOWERS MOVING FROM UTICA THROUGH RAYMOND, RICHLAND FLORENCE SHOULD BE WAKING UP TO A COUPLE OF THOSE LIGHT SHOWERS WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. IN THE METRO, TEMPERATURES ARE STAYING AT 58 DEGREES. A PRETTY COMFORTABLE START TO THE MORNING, AND ACROSS THE AREA WE HAVE THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S. I’LL SHOW YOU THAT MORE IN JUST A SECOND. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK ON RADAR OVERALL, ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH, THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS GOING TO TRACK ACROSS THE COASTLINE TODAY, AND THIS IS GOING TO BRING A THREAT FOR A COUPLE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DOWN TOWARDS THE MISSISSIPPI COAST LINE AND OVER TOWARDS NEW ORLEANS, US HERE IN CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. I DO NOT EXPECT THOSE STORMS TO BE STRONG, AND HONESTLY, WE MAY NOT EVEN GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE STORMS TODAY. HERE’S THAT WIDE LOOK ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI WITH TEMPERATURES CONSISTENTLY IN THE 50S, IT’S NOT REALLY GOING TO WARM UP MUCH TODAY, BUT IT’S ALSO NOT GOING TO COOL DOWN MUCH EITHER. WE’LL EVENTUALLY GET THOSE TEMPERATURES RIDING INTO THE 60S BY THE LATER PART OF THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON AND OFF, AND IF WE SEE ANY CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS, THAT IS GOING TO BE AFTER ONE 2:00 TODAY, THAT’S GOING TO BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE HEAVIER RAIN. AND AGAIN, AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM LASTING THROUGH AROUND THE DINNERTIME HOUR. AND THEN ONCE THE SUN SETS, THOSE RAIN CHANCES BECOME A LOT MORE MINIMALISTIC. AND BY AROUND MIDNIGHT, THE RAIN SHOULD CLEAR OUT INTO MIKE LEE. NOW, I WILL SAY, GOING INTO TOMORROW MORNING, WE’RE GOING TO START OFF PRETTY OVERCAST. WAKE UP WEATHER BACK INTO THE 50S, BUT THOSE CLOUDS WILL CLEAR OUT THROUGH THE DAY. VERY COMFORTABLE AIR IN STORE, 60S TO RIGHT AROUND 70 DEGREES IS LOOKING PRETTY LIKELY GOING INTO YOUR SATURDAY. IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY BLUSTERY DAY SATURDAY WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN BY SUNDAY WE START THAT WARMING PROCESS AGAIN. 72 DEGREES EXPECTED AND THE CLOUDS WILL GO FROM PARTLY CLOUDY TO MAINLY OVERCAST AS WE WATCH THIS NEXT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE DEEP SOUTH. THIS IS SOMETHING WE ARE WATCHING VERY CAREFULLY AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LOOKING LIKELY. WITH THIS. WE COULD GET A COUPLE OF STRONGER GUSTS ALONG THIS LINE AS WELL. ALL THE TIMELINE. LATEST UPDATE LOOKS TO BE DURING WHERE MANY OF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE SLEEPING FROM AROUND 1 A.M. THROUGH AROUND 10 A.M. THAT TIME IS GOING TO ADJUST A LITTLE BIT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS CONSISTENTLY BEING MORE OF AN OVERNIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING THREAT LOOKS TO BE MORE CONFIDENT AT THIS TIME. THOSE STORMS WILL CLEAR OUT BY LATE MORNING. TUESDAY. WE’LL DRY OUT FOR THE AFTERNOON BY WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY DRY, QUIET AND SUNNY TEMPERATURES EVENTUALLY GET BACK INTO THE 70 GOING INTO THURSDAY. >> WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE HOUSE PARADE ON SATURDAY? >> I MEAN, IT LOOKS REALLY NICE. THE FACT THAT WE’VE CONSISTENTLY BEEN FORECASTING SUNSHINE AND VERY COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES MEANS THAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT, BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME, AFTER THE PARADE, YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO STAY WEATHER AWARE WITH THOSE STORMS AND COMI
