...WIDESPREAD RAIN CONTINUES OVER MOST OF MISSISSIPPI...

A MASSIVE AREA OF RAIN HAS KEPT MISSISSIPPI RATHER COOL THIS AFTERNOON
IN SPITE OF MODERATE SOUTH WINDS OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO.
MID-AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED DOWN INTO THE LOWER AND MID
60S OVER THE NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF MISSISSIPPI.  DOWN NEAR THE COAST
TEMPERATURES REMAIN WELL IN THE UPPER 70S...AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
ARE STILL POSSIBLE THERE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS MISSOURI AND
THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WAS ENTERING WESTERN ARKANSAS AND EXTREME
EASTERN TEXAS.  THIS FRONT WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS ALL BUT EXTREME
EASTERN MISSISSIPPI LATER TONIGHT...EXITING THE REMAINING EASTERN
COUNTIES EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

THE RAIN-COOLED AIR HAS REDUCED THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
OVER ALL DBUT EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THIS AFTERNOON.  MORE SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY
THE FRONT AGAIN TONIGHT...BUT RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS THAT THESE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS.
