A Few Clouds, Warm

Most everyone around the county received a good soaking rain yesterday morning and/or last night. In fact, some places in the southern part of the county received over 3" of rain yesterday! The cold front responsible for the rain is knocking on the doorstep of Northwest Mississippi. This front should push through our area early this afternoon as an upper air trough to our north deepens. Ahead of the front, we could see an isolated shower or two develop later this morning, but we should remain mostly dry.We should see a few clouds throughout the day with highs topping out near 90 this afternoon.

The true effects of the front will be felt beginning this evening as much drier air filters into the region. Dew points will drop into the 50s tonight, and with clear skies and light winds, I'll forecast a low of 60. The Raw GFS is forecasting 56, but with most areas receiving rain the last couple of days, I can't go that low. The weekend is shaping up to be absolutely perfect with highs in the mid 80s on Saturday and Sunday! Temperatures will slowly creep back into the 90s next week.
