Forecast Discussion

An area of low pressure near the MS River Valley will move through our area tonight. Ahead of the low, light rain will be possible throughout the day. The best chance at a steadier rain, however, will be tonight as the low moves through.

The clouds and light rain / drizzle may stick around until early Sunday afternoon with some clearing late. Behind the front, cooler air will move in for Sunday night and Monday.

A couple of weak disturbances will bring an increase in clouds (and maybe a few rain showers) on Monday and again on Wednesday, but no significant rainfall is expected at this time.

Towards the end of next week, we MAY return to a more winter-like pattern; stay tuned...
