About this listen

 Good morning. Mississippi. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you feel it immediately—that thick, humid air pressing in like a heavy, wet blanket. We woke up to 71 degrees, already running 41 degrees above normal. And we've since climbed to 72 under gray skies. But don't get too comfortable. A powerful cold front is barreling in from the west, bringing the most widespread rain we've seen since January. Here comes a soaker. Northern Mississippi is ground zero today. Storms fire up as early as 9 A.M., with the worst action expected between noon and 7 P.M. Highs top out near 78 before crashing to 59 tonight. Damaging winds and hail are the main threats, but a brief tornado can't be ruled out, especially along the front's leading edge. Central Mississippi—including Jackson and Vicksburg—sees the storms roll in by late morning. They peak around 4 P.M. With highs hitting a remarkable 84 degrees. That's 41 degrees above normal, folks. But temperatures fall through the afternoon as the front pushes through, with gusts to 25 miles an hour making things extra feisty. Tonight, storms linger with lows dropping to 63. Down along the Gulf Coast, the severe risk is lower, but you're not in the clear. Expect scattered storms by noon with highs near 74. It will feel more like May than March. Watch for dense fog returning near the coast overnight, reducing visibility to under a mile. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Sunday keeps the storms around, especially in the south. We catch a breather Monday, but round two arrives Wednesday with another severe threat statewide. Then, reality hits Thursday—a sharp cooldown drops highs into the mid-60s, finally feeling like March again. If you see standing water on the roads tonight, don't drive through it. Turn around, don't drown. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
