Drizzle/Light Rain Possible, Remaining Cool

An area of low pressure is currently located near Greenwood, MS, with a cold front stretching to the southeast of the surface low. This storm system will gradually move to the east throughout the day, and it looks like the front will push through our area around noon. The heaviest rain and thunderstorms are ongoing across Alabama and Florida, but a band of light to moderate showers that is associated with the upper level energy is occurring across Arkansas and western Mississippi. As the upper level energy pivots eastward, a few patches of light rain and drizzle will be possible through 4 p.m. Clouds will hang tough today, and highs will only manage to top out near 52. Winds will become breezy late this afternoon and this evening as the storm to our east deepens. Wind gusts could possibly exceed 25 mph at times. In the wake of the surface and upper level storm system, low level moisture will remain trapped below a strong inversion. As a result, skies will remain cloudy overnight, which will keep lows near 40 tomorrow morning.
