Full moon tonight and then rain tomorrow

Check out the full moon tonight! The July full moon is known as the Buck Moon, and this year it’s a supermoon! This will be the closest we are to the moon all year.

Rain chances will be higher on Thursday as a boundary moves south out of central Mississippi tonight. Most of the rain will fade out tonight before it moves into our area. However as that boundary moves over us on Thursday showers and storms will be likely. This rain could be locally heavy at times with isolated flash flooding the main concern. Stronger storms will also produce frequent lightning and gusty winds.

After Thursday rain chances go back to being more scattered. Friday through the weekend we will see more typical summertime development. Rain chances will be around 80% on Thursday but back down around 50% Friday through the weekend.

Temperatures will stay mainly in the mid to upper 80s for highs Thursday thanks to more rain and clouds. Look for highs of 90-92 Friday through the weekend with cooler areas as rain pops up.
