Your Forecast: High pressure will stay in control of our region over the next couple of days; furthermore, we will see a good supply of sunshine along with pleasant temperatures with highs in the middle 70s and lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Southerly flow will pick up Saturday which will allow moisture to start increasing across the Twin States, and we will see clouds along with deeper moisture moving in Sunday. Rain chances are expected by Sunday night with periods of heavy rain Monday into Tuesday as tropical moisture surges northward. We will be watching Ida closely by the early part of next week as it is expected to move into the southern Gulf of Mexico, but with an upper level trough and a cold front moving southeastward it may allow Ida to turn more eastward. A decent amount of shear should keep Ida's restrengthening at a minimum.

Weather History:  On this day in 2000, high winds in Leake County knocked down several trees. Two trees struck a car, killing the driver and injuring another.
