Where's the rain?
* Showers and thunderstorms have been slow to develop today. But, we'll take as much dry weather as we can get. However, it will soon come to an end...* There's a surface boundary located roughly along the Highway 80 corridor. We expect showers and thunderstorms to continue to develop along that boundary as we go through the late afternoon into the early evening.
* By later tonight, a piece of energy in the upper atmosphere will rotate in from Louisiana. This will cause rain coverage and intensity to increase, starting in western Mississippi and moving in our direction. The heaviest rain will likely be along and south of Highway 80, in places like Bay Springs, Paulding, Heidelberg, Quitman, Waynesboro, Butler, and Demopolis. Rainfall amounts tonight could exceed one-half inch in the heavier downpours.
* This boundary will push back northward as we go through Sunday and into Monday, bringing more rain with it. Both days will feature dry periods, but we do expect more rain than dry. By the time the rain winds down late Monday/early Tuesday, some places could see over two inches of rain. The best chance of this will be along the Highway 84 corridor.
* BIG thanks to Wade Phillips for lunch at his cookout today. Wade was entertaining his wife's family from Alabama, and it was very nice to meet them and enjoy some good food and great company. It didn't hurt that the Yankees were getting beat badly by the Red Sox. I'm a Braves fan, but I also enjoy rooting for anyone who is playing the Yankees.
