Rain Moving Out...

* Quite a soaking rain fell across Mississippi and Alabama today. Here are some regional rainfall amounts:

Meridian 1.73"
Jackson 1.39"
Muscle Shoals 2.31"
Birmingham 1.01"

* Rain is changing to snow across western Tennessee. Memphis, TN and Jackson, TN have both reported some light snow during the past couple of hours. This snow will remain well north of us. However, we may see a flurry or two across northernmost parts of our area - roughly along and north of Highway 14. Even if we do, it will not be a big deal. The ground is warm, and any flurry that falls will be very, very light. But, we'll watch it.

* The rest of the week looks fairly calm. We'll be in a zonal flow pattern, which means a system every few days. Our next one will bring rain and thunderstorms through late Friday into Saturday. Some could be strong, but its too early to speculate on the extent of any severe weather threat.

* Thanks to Renny Vandewege for filling my shifts Friday night and Monday night. I was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a wonderful vacation. I will post tomorrow with a complete rundown of our trip - and some fantastic snow pictures!
