Heat advisories and excessive heat warnings remain for the Magnolia State Saturday, but there is now a chance for a shower or thunderstorm in more places than we’ve had the past few days. There aren’t any great chances of rain, but the coverage area of the small chances we have is much larger. Every region of the state has the chance for a stray shower or thunderstorm, especially in the afternoon and evening, except for far northern regions.

The tropics remain quiet for now, too. There is only one disturbance the National Hurricane Center is watching and chances for development are low. It’s also far enough to the north that it wouldn’t be a danger to the Gulf.
