Mostly Sunny & Warm, Isolated Storms Possible

We managed to avoid any severe weather, but a good soaking rain fell yesterday and overnight across the county with most areas receiving between 1 and 1.5". The rain and storms are quickly exiting the exit as a strong dry slot is punching into the state. This dry slot is allowing for a good supply of sunshine this morning, but a few low clouds will move through later this morning and early afternoon. The cold front associated with this storm system is still located along the Mississippi River and won't pass through the county until after 7 p.m. As a result, temperatures will remain unseasonably warm with highs topping out around 73 this afternoon. As the front approaches this afternoon, it could spark off some isolated storms as SBCAPE values climb to almost 1,500 J/kg. Damaging winds and large hail will be the primary threat with any storms that form. It will also be breezy with winds gusting up to 25 mph this afternoon. As the front swings through, slightly cooler and drier air will filter into the state. However, a chance of showers will remain possible through midnight as the upper level energy moves through. Skies will likely become cloudy tonight but clearing near sunrise. Lows will be near 46 tomorrow morning.
