Wet by the Weekend...
* It is looking more and more like we will see a decent rainfall this weekend. First, let me say that I do not expect a complete washout. There will be a few dry periods thrown in the mix this weekend as well. But, rain will definitely be a big part of the forecast for parts of the weekend. I'll break it down into a timeline:Friday: A nice day for the most part. Clouds increase late in the day, and there is an outside chance of a shower or thunderstorm late Friday afternoon. Most places will stay dry Friday.
Saturday: Moisture increases along a front riding through the state. Showers and thunderstorms develop over central Mississippi by Saturday afternoon and evening. Some storms could be strong, and there could be some heavy rain involved as well. We don't expect a widespread severe weather event on Saturday.
Sunday: Perhaps a break in the rain. The front will lift back to the north, with more showers along the Gulf coast. We MAY luck out and be "between" areas of rain for much of Sunday.
Monday: An area of low pressure forms and moves along the front. Showers and thunderstorms are likely, and some of those storms could be severe. Heavy rain is a distinct possibility. Sure looks wet and stormy for Memorial Day. But, like we've been talking about, it sure will help out our rainfall deficit for May.
* The GFS model is calling for dry air to move in by late Tuesday and Wednesday. So, the forecast for those days will reflect smaller rain chances and warmer temperatures.
