A powerful storm system will advance into the area Wednesday evening through Wednesday night bringing strong to potentially severe thunderstorms. The threat of damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes can't be ruled out. For now, there is a slight risk of severe weather across our SE Mississippi counties and far SW Alabama including much of Mobile County and parts of Baldwin County . The rest of our viewing area is under a marginal risk of severe weather. The cold front will roll through Thursday morning with a gradual clearing trend in its wake. Check back with us for updates.

Until then, skies will be primarily sunny with a few passing clouds here and there. Lows fall into the upper 50s tonight behind a dry, cold front.

Tuesday looks mostly sunny and a little cooler with daytime highs in the upper 70s. Clouds build by late day in advance of our mid-week weathermaker. Our max temps will hit 80 Wednesday, followed by lower 70s Thursday, then just the mid to upper 60s by Friday.

Plan for dry and cooler conditions for the upcoming Halloween weekend.
