Threat of rainfall persists, forecasters warn
Biloxi Emergency Manager Linda Atterberry advises that the threat of inclement weather may have diminished with the demise of Tropical Depression 5, but the possibility of heavy rainfall remains through mid-week.
The word from Atterberry and her weather sources:
“As the low pressure area persists across the region, above normal shower and thunderstorm activity can be expected, along with the threat of heavy rainfall, into early and mid-next week.”
