Good Morning! Rain, rain and more rain. As we expected the rainfall has been relentless over much of the area. Here’s a Brief Video introduction, as we set the stage for the another day of heavy rainfall.
Here’s the set-up. At the surface, we continue to be in the wet side of a stalled front in Mississippi. PLUS, there’s an upper low stuck near Jackson, MS. We’re on the west side f that, too. Thus, the heavy rain threat continues.
TODAY: Looks like another day of potentially excessive rainfall across the region. Additional rainfall through Thursday, could total 2 to 4” for much of the eastern half of the state, and 1 to 3” in the western counties. Heavier amounts are expected in extreme south Alabama and closer to the coast. Flash flood Watch Continues in effect through Wednesday night.
Periods of showers will continue. A few thunderstorms are possible. Locally heavy rainfall amounts. Torrential downpours will cause some urban flooding in spots. This Future Radar loops takes you through the day today, through 6 PM tonight.
NEXT FEW DAYS: Again Wednesday, showers and storms will be quite numerous, as we stay on the west side of the fading frontal system. On Thursday, the number of showers will begin to think out in number.
By Friday and over the weekend, look for some big improvements. Lots of sunshine, lower humidity, cooler nights. Keep your eyes on the prize. Nicer days are ahead.
Showers and storms will be numerous Wednesday. There will be some leftover showers and maybe a Thunderstorm Thursday. Big improvements Friday. Much nicer over the weekend. Sunshine. Low humidity and cooler nights.
TROPICAL UPDATE: In the tropics, Victor is gone. Sam is barely on the map in the North Atlantic. That Area to Watch near the Bahamas now has only a 10% chance of tropical development in the next 5 days, according to NHC. The rest of the tropics, thankfully are quiet for now.
