Morning Update:

* Clouds are holding tough this morning as we are still seeing scattered showers and a few isolated storms to the west of the WTOK viewing area this morning. Also be advised with the temperature and dewpoint close together this morning in the lower 60s we are seeing quiet a bit of fog across the area. You can also see thunderstorms developing along the I-55 corridor on radar and on the visible satellite image.

* SPC has canceled the Severe T-Storm Watch that was in effect for Central Mississippi. The severe weather threat at the moment is low, but we'll see a better chance later today across the area.

* Still seeing the warm front on the surface data slowly creeping up to into the area. As the warm front moves through it will put our area in unstable and moist air. A cold front moving through the Ark-La-Tex will make its way toward Mississippi and Alabama later today and will help kick off strong thunderstorms in the unstable air. I still think the primary threats are for large hail and damaging winds. The SPC still maintains a slight risk of severe weather from roughly MS Hwy 15 in East Mississippi eastward into most of Central Alabama.

* I'll keep an eye on the weather situation here at home and will head back to the station if things start going downhill later this morning and early afternoon. Otherwise, I'll keep updating the weather blog and have more on the forecast tonight at 5:00 and 6:00 on Newscenter 11.
