Great Weather Today

* Gearing up for a very pleasant day today. Temperatures will make it into the lower 80's, with plenty of sunshine. I'll be out at the "Main Event" today from 1-2 pm, so if you are in the neck of the woods, come see us!

* Things still look on track for a threat of severe weather by late Friday. The main threat will be damaging thunderstorm winds, but if we get individual supercells to develop ahead of the line, we could have a tornado threat as well. The best chance of this would be along and north of I-20.

* Overall, the greatest threat will be north of here. I expect parts of eastern Arkansas and western Tennessee to really be under the gun, as well as parts of Kentucky.

* I am leaning towards adjusting our timeline for this event to a later time. We'll probably deal with the squall line sometime between 9pm and midnight Friday night. But, if supercells form, they will arrive earlier than the squall line. For now, we'll go with the idea that the worst of it will be from 4pm Friday - 4am Saturday morning. But, keep in mind that if we don't see supercells, then all of Friday afternoon will be dry and the storms will arrive Friday night.

* Cool air is on the way after the storms move out. Highs Saturday may not reach 70 in some parts of Mississippi/Alabama.
