DISCUSSION

Issued at 1024 PM CDT Wed Sep 23 2026

The forecast remains largely unchanged as we continue to anticipate a brief taste of Fall here on the gulf coast. Unfortunately that still entails warm highs, but the lows will be noticeably cooler late week into the weekend. Highs Thursday top out in the middle to upper 80's over the interior and near 90 along the coast into southeast MS. Our first noticeably cooler night comes Thursday night as lows fall into the lower to middle 60's. Friday is the coolest day for highs only in the lower to middle 80's, with a gradual warming trend through the weekend back to upper 80's to near 90 for most locations. Lows also reach their minimum Friday night in the upper 50's to lower 60's for most locations. Likewise, they follow a gradual warming trend through the weekend into early next week into the lower to middle 60's.

Outside of some isolated showers tonight through daybreak, the forecast remains dry until we get back into early next week. We'll likely see rain chances start to increase by Monday with isolated to scattered storms possible. A Low rip current risk Thursday increases to a Moderate risk Thursday night through Friday, returning to a Low risk as we go into the weekend. MM/25
