Mississippi braces for severe weather Wednesday with storms bringing possible quarter-sized hail and 60 mph winds, mainly during the day but lingering into evening—targeting Northwest, Central, and Pine Belt areas including Hattiesburg and Laurel. After that, skies clear for a hot weekend. Meanwhile, the Pearl River in Jackson has crested above flood stage at 29.7 feet, posing no direct structural threat but still requiring monitoring. Temperatures will soar near 90°F with heat index hitting 100°F, and a 70% chance of storms after 1 PM Wednesday, with scattered showers possible Thursday before sunny, sweltering days return.
