Bright, Bright Day

* What a nice day. Bright blue skies and sunshine have resumed across Mississippi and Alabama today. It is a bit breezy; winds at Key Field have been gusting above 10 mph at times.

* The rest of the work week looks fairly tranquil. Dry weather will rule the roost until at least Friday, but a few clouds will roll in Thursday and Friday. Rain chances begin to increase late Friday, as a strong upper trough swings through the central Plains. This trough will interact with a warm and moist airmass and bring a round of showers and thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday. Like last weekend, there is again the potential for a drenching rain. The highest threat of any flooding will come across northwestern Mississippi. But, the Tombigbee and Pearl Rivers are still swollen from recent rains, so we'll have to watch for some flooding problems there.

* Also, the airmass will have some time to destabilize. That fact, coupled with the strong upper level dynamics, could set the stage for a few strong thunderstorms over the weekend. We'll continue to refine our weekend forecast through the rest of the work week.
