The hot and steamy weather of last week will give way to wet and cooler conditions with several rounds of heavy rain expected across Mississippi. While localized flash flooding will be possible in this area, where one to three inches of rain could fall, the biggest threat will be across the southwestern quadrant of the state including the Jackson area, where rainfall totals could reach five inches.
The rain and cloud cover will help to hold temperatures below 90 degrees across most of the local area this week. Highs in the lower 80s are forecast today and tomorrow climbing into the upper 80s on Wednesday and Thursday.
