Another Week with Slightly Cooler Than Average Temps
A front is stalled to our south across central Mississippi today. It will move back to the north through the metro area on Monday and bring additional shower chances to the area. Temperatures will remain just below average for this time of year through next weekend, but I do believe that normal temperatures are just outside of this 7 day forecast.
