Watching The Models For Rain Chances:

* A slight chance of rain will return to the forecast late tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night as a system moves northeast out of Texas. The proximity of the trough may be enough to kick off the rain chances here in East Mississippi and West Alabama. The better rain chances look the best to to our west, but still there is a slight chance for some rain in our area. Right now we will keep the rain chances at 20-30%.

* The next rain chance will affect the Twin States on Saturday as storm moves toward the area. This system looks to bring a decent chance of rain to the area and right now we will hold the chance at a 50% coverage.

* Down the road the GFS model continues to indicate a zonal pattern developing across the Southeast with more chances for rain events to affect the Twin States. Right now the models show rain chances on April 6, 8, 14 and 16th. I will mention that we'll have to watch these storm systems as April is a typical active month for severe weather here in our area.

* Temperatures remain about the same with highs running 10 to 15 degrees above normal for daytime highs and overnight lows running a few degrees above normal.
