.DISCUSSION...
Patchy fog will be possible early Friday morning across portions
of south MS but dense fog is not anticipated. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected across the southern half this afternoon
into tonight ahead of a cold front that will sag into the area
and stall across our southern districts Friday. This will result
in greater rain chances in the south into this weekend. The drier
air north of the stalled front will limit rain chances across the
northern districts through the weekend but rain chances will
continue over the southern districts. RH will be monitored heading
into the weekend. Aforementioned dry air will allow for lower RH,
mainly across the north Monday afternoon, though the light winds
should limit greater fire danger.
