Patchy fog will be possible across southern parts of the CWA during 
the early morning hours; however, any fog that develops is 
expected to dissipate after sunrise. A stalled cold front is 
expected to linger over northern portions of the area throughout 
the day, bringing isolated showers and thunderstorms possibilities
to areas along and north of HWY 82 and northeast MS. Severe 
weather is not anticipated with this disturbance. Elsewhere, quiet
conditions are expected for areas along and south of I-20. High 
temperatures are expected to be in the upper 70s to middle 80s. 
Rain chances will begin to diminish for northern areas during the 
evening hours as the stalled frontal boundary transition into a 
warm front and lift northward out of the CWA. Skies are expected 
to be partly cloud and overnight low temperatures are expected to 
be range from the upper 50s to lower 60s. /SW/

Friday through Wednesday: A warm and rather moist weather pattern
will persist through the long range forecast as a ridge maintains
it's strong presence over the eastern third of the CONUS. The 
ridge will deflect most shortwave trough energy to the northwest 
of the forecast area with rain chances limited for us, but at 
least one stronger shortwave trough should get close enough to 
initiate a significant convective system over the Delta region by
late Sunday night into Monday morning ahead of a surface cold 
front. Beyond this point, there is divergence in the global model 
guidance on how to handle the MCS activity, so confidence is low 
concerning QPF placement. 

Rainfall amounts could be quite heavy in any case as deep layer 
moisture is expected to circulate around the ridge and move along a 
huge fetch of warm tropical/subtropical Atlantic waters. Meanwhile, 
greater deep layer shear and instability should remain mostly west 
of the forecast area, and likely unsupportive of more than a low-end 
strong to severe storm threat early next week in our area. As we go 
into the middle of next week, a stronger ridge should build more 
squarely over Mississippi Valley region, and this would bring warmer 
conditions with highs potentially approaching 90 F just beyond this 
long range period. /EC/
