Sunny and Warmer This Afternoon. Rain Later This Week.

THIS MORNING: Temperatures well below freezing, with dense fog across parts of the area. This fog may lead to some icy spots on bridges and elevated surfaces. Use caution on the roadways this morning. The fog should be dispersed by around 9 am, and temperatures will climb above freezing by then.

THU/FRI: Widespread showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms Thursday and Friday as a low pressure system pushes across southern Mississippi. Our area should stay north of the warm sector, meaning there would be no severe weather threat here, but there will be the possibility for some strong storms across southern Mississippi. High temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s Thrusday, with overnight lows dropping into the upper 50s Thrusday night.
