A Cloudy Sky

* Clouds have returned, and the temperature has fallen quite a bit since yesterday. A front is sitting along Highway 84, and we are now seeing the cold airmass that our neighbors to the north have been dealing with for the past few days. South of the front, it's still warm. As of this writing, Meridian is at 49, while Hattiesburg is sitting at 66!

* Looks chilly tonight, with rain chances on the increase. The rain will not be heavy; in fact, some places could stay dry. Small rain chances continue early tomorrow, with cold temperatures continuing.
