The rest of today and tomorrow...Warm and mostly calm conditions
are expected for the remainder of the afternoon into the evening.
A system just north of the CWA could bring some isolated showers 
and a rumble of thunder across the Hwy 82 corridor. Otherwise, 
partly cloudy conditions and temperatures in the 80s will continue
through the afternoon. By this evening, dry conditions are 
expected areawide, with cloud cover increasing overnight. 
Overnight lows will remain in the 60s. Patchy fog and low clouds 
will also be possible in the southeast tonight into tomorrow 
morning. 

By Friday, mostly dry conditions and temperatures in the middle 80s 
will persist throughout the CWA. A boundary looks to remain stalled 
over the Middle Mississippi Valley, while to our southeast, a 
surface ridge will continue building into the CWA. Rain chances look 
to remain just northwest of MS, but we cannot rule out a light 
shower in SE AR and NW MS tomorrow afternoon. /AJ/

Friday Night through Thursday...The long term period will start 
off with quiet and dry conditions as global guidance continues to 
highlight a ridge axis maintaining its strong presence over the 
eastern half of the CONUS. At the same time, a 997mb sfc low in 
the Central Plains will continue to push northeast towards the 
Ohio River Valley region heading into early Saturday morning. The 
ridge axis axis will help deflect most shortwave trough energy to 
the northwest of the forecast area for us, with some rain chances 
possible on Saturday across part of the Delta. No changes have 
been made to the Limited wind graphic for Saturday and Sunday. 

Storm chances will begin to increase by Monday morning/afternoon as 
southerly flow aloft helps build up moisture from the Gulf ahead of 
a surface cold front. Furthermore, several of these storms will have 
the capability of producing locally heavy rainfall at times thanks 
to deep layer moisture circulating around the retreating ridge and 
moving along a huge fetch of warm tropical/subtropical Atlantic 
waters. The threat for strong to severe storms will be low heading 
into the next work week as the deep layer shear and instability will 
remain west of our forecast area. By Tuesday evening, a stronger 
ridge will start to build over the Mississippi Valley Region as the 
aforementioned cold front shifts east out of the forecast area giving 
us a short break from the rain. Isolated showers and storms will 
make a brief return to the area on Wednesday and Thursday with quiet 
conditions expected on Friday.  /CR/
