June-like temps are expected all week long
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - We kicked of this workweek with highs around 90 degrees, and we can expect more of the same each and every day this week. These temps are a little above the average, and they are more in-line with temps we’d experience in early June. So,...
Above average temps will dominate the week
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - Our relatively rainy pattern is shifting a bit this week. Instead of multiple days with threatening showers & storms to watch out for, we get to enjoy multiple days of rain-free conditions (at least for the first half of the week). We can thank an upper-level ridge of High Pressure that’ll settle over our area for a little while. It won’t just keep our area dry, but it’ll also lead to above average highs this week.
Weekend Outlook: Storms to start, but it’ll be a pleasant finish
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - Welcome to the weekend! Any predawn rain tapers-off...leading to a decent start to our Saturday. We’ll have a partly-mainly cloudy sky, and the atmosphere will become more unstable by the afternoon. This, combined with an upper-level disturbance sliding by (and dew points in the upper 60s), will lead to scattered afternoon thunderstorms.

Weather Alert Day: Heavy rain and severe storms ring in the weekend
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - We had some rain pass through in the early morning hours of Friday, but we’ve still got more coming throughout today and Saturday. One of the biggest threats today is flooding. We already got between 1 and 3 inches of rain earlier this week, and today’s menagerie could bring between 2 and 5 inches to some places. Most counties around and south of I-20 are under a flood watch throughout today until Saturday afternoon. These storms also bring a risk of severe weather, namely damaging winds and a possible hail threat, especially towards/after midday, when daytime heating can really help drive these storms to full power. As always, the threat of an isolated spin-up tornado cannot be ruled out either.
A pleasant start to the week, but things heat up fast
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - After Friday’s deluge, Saturday has been quite pleasant. Temperatures lingering in the mid 80s and clouds throughout the day have made for a warm and pleasant half of the weekend. Sunday will be warmer and much sunnier. Temperatures fall into the mid 60s overnight with partly cloudy skies overnight. Clouds move out overnight for a sunny Sunday.
