Storms This Morning, Still Warm

Make no mistake, the sound you're hearing this morning is rain and thunder! Everyone in the county should get some rain today as a subtle upper level disturbance has produced a large complex of showers and thunderstorms across North Mississippi. This complex should move through by 10:30 this morning, but we'll turn our attention back to the northwest as another complex will be diving southeast out of Arkansas. The brunt of this complex will likely affect areas to our west, but the outer fringes could still give us some additional rain this afternoon. Most areas in the county will wind up with rainfall totals under a half inch today, but there may be a few isolated higher amounts up to 1". This rainfall will also be extremely beneficial in that it will help keep temperatures slightly in check today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. Highs today will still be rather warm despite the rain and clouds, but we should manage to top out around 93 this afternoon. The weather should be quiet tonight with only a few clouds overnight, but it will be very muggy with lows dropping to 74 tomorrow morning.
