Forecast Mississippi is the definitive portal for the Magnolia State’s weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean and highway-clear for all 82 counties, from the Sound and the barrier islands to the Tennessee line and from the river to the Alabama border.
Mississippi has three weather problems and they do not overlap. On the Coast it is surge: Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005 both made landfall here, and Katrina pushed water to roughly 28 feet at Bay Saint Louis and Waveland, still the highest storm surge ever measured in the United States. Inland it is tornadoes: this is the middle of Dixie Alley, where the season runs twice a year, the storms are long-track and often after dark, and Rolling Fork in March 2023 and Louisville in April 2014 are only the most recent. And everywhere it is water: the Delta is the Mississippi’s own floodplain, the Yazoo Backwater stood over half a million acres for six months in 2019, and the Pearl River put the capital under in 1979 and came back for it in 2020. Forecast Mississippi is built around those.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. Mississippi takes a loess-bluff paper and a cotton-bloom rose accent, on Delta haze — not the boll: the flower. A cotton blossom opens cream in the morning, turns pink the next day and deep rose the day after that, and a Delta field in July is all three colours at once.
Mississippi is covered close-up by 2 region sites, each on its own subdomain of forecastmississippi.com — the same maps, the same live radar and the same climate record as this site, drawn to one metro or region instead of the whole state, with a page for every city in it. They are part of Forecast Mississippi, not separate sites: /about on any of them lands back here.
Mississippi touches four states and every one of them is live: Forecast Tennessee across the north line, Forecast Alabama the length of the east, Forecast Louisiana south and west, and Forecast Arkansas across the river in the Delta — each tinted in its own accent on the hero map and clickable from it. It is the first site in the network with no ghosted neighbour at all. The rest of the Forecast <State> network is part of the same system.
