In the Lubbock area, a few storms could develop near Friona and Muleshoe around sunset Friday, but forecasters said the severe-weather threat is currently very low.
For southern Mississippi, Saturday carries only a 10% shower chance and Sunday a 20% chance, with overnight lows ranging from the upper 60s to the lower 70s.

Hot and mostly dry weather will dominate the weekend across much of the United States, with temperatures climbing into the 90s across West Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. WMTW reports that rain chances remain limited, though isolated storms may develop near the New Mexico border and scattered showers could return to Louisiana early next week as conditions begin to shift.
The sustained heat and earlier drought are already affecting fall foliage in North Georgia, where leaves may turn brown, dry out, or drop early rather than display vibrant colors. KSLA noted that cooler and wetter conditions later in the season could still improve the display, but the current pattern is working against a spectacular autumn show.
The Lubbock area may see a few storms develop near Friona and Muleshoe around sunset Friday, but KTEN reports forecasters say the severe-weather threat is currently very low.

High pressure across Australia will bring sunny, warm to hot, and generally dry conditions through the weekend. Queensland's inland areas will see temperatures in the low to mid-30s Celsius, with Brisbane forecast to reach a sunny 32°C. Elevated fire danger is expected in Queensland's west and northwest regions due to the dry conditions.
Isolated showers may occur near the tropical Queensland coast and western Tasmania, while fog clearing in New South Wales and Queensland will make way for bright sunshine. The combination of heat and dry winds will keep fire danger heightened across much of the state.
