Isolated Showers, Warm

It's a muggy start to the day as temperatures are running near 70. At the surface, a cold front is situated across Arkansas and Northwest Tennessee but will find any southward push hard to come by today as its orientation to the upper air flow becomes more parallel. Still, this may provide just enough lift with the soupy air mass to spark a few isolated thundershowers this afternoon. Despite a mix of sun and clouds, we should be able to top out near 91 this afternoon. It appears that better chances for rain will occur overnight as an upper level disturbance approaches the area. In fact, a convective complex appears likely to form across Louisiana and Arkansas tonight, but the brunt of this should miss us. Still, a few scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible after 2 a.m. Extensive cloud cover, showers, and southerly winds will make for another muggy morning with lows near 72.
