First Alert: Localized flooding is possible this week due to rounds of rain
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - An umbrella is a must-have this week. No day will be a actual wash-out, but daily rain chances are in the forecast. We’re on the eastern edge of the “heat dome” that’s centered over the Southern Rockies. So, disturbances to our NW could easily get steered into our area as they travel around the heat dome. Plus, ample moisture, local frontal boundaries, and the heat of the day could all help to trigger showers & storms.
