Is the Drought Finally Over?

COLUMBUS, Mississippi (WCBI) – It has been 15 days in Columbus without any rainfall. Good news, there’s a break in sight, but it might be this weekend.

TONIGHT & TOMORROW – Fall-like nights continue for your Monday night with temps again cooling into the upper 40’s. This is sweater weather! By tomorrow afternoon, temps will warm up again into the low 80’s. Fire danger continues so be cautious with any open flames.

THIS WEEK – Not much will change in the next few days. The low 80’s appear to be consistent as well as no rain and lots of sunshine Wednesday through Friday. Overnight lows will stay cool in the upper 40’s and low 50’s.

HALLOWEEN OUTLOOK – We finally start to see rain enter the forecast, but it’s likely it’ll be on Halloween. During the day should be fine, but cloud cover and afternoon rain help limit temps slightly to the upper 70’s. Saturday evening stands the biggest chance for rain, but no complete washouts are expected. We’ll know more timing and intensity details as it gets closer.
