THE DRY SPELL THAT HAS OCCURRED ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH WILL BE COMING TO AN END THIS WEEK...WITH HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS POSSIBLE IN SOME LOCATIONS BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING FROM EAST-CENTRAL AR INTO NORTH MS THIS MORNING. THE ETA DID A GOOD JOB OF PICKING THIS UP...AND IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE FOR THE UPCOMING FORECAST. THESE THUNDERSTORMS SEEM TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK ELONGATED NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WHICH HAS A SLIGHT REFLECTION AT THE SURFACE WITH WEAK SURFACE CONVERGENCE. THIS TROUGH WILL BE LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD DURING THE DAY. THE RIDGE AXIS STRETCHES TO OUR EAST THIS MORNING. SOUTH WINDS... SURFACE AND ALOFT...ARE INCREASING THE MOISTURE ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH.

WE CAN EXPECT A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ALL OF THIS WEEK. SOUTH FLOW OFF THE GULF BECOMES STRONGER BY WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN QUITE A BIT OF STRATUS WEDNESDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION...SHORTWAVES APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL ACT AS A TRIGGER FOR THUNDERSTORMS MUCH OF THIS WEEK. COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY APPROACH BY THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK. LATEST GFS INDICATES THE FRONT STALLING OVER THE MIDSOUTH THIS WEEKEND...CLIMATOLOGY WOULD FAVOR SUCH A SOLUTION. INCREASED POPS SOME FOR THE END OF THE WORK-WEEK AND THE WEEKEND. && .MEG...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...NONE. MS...NONE. MO...NONE. TN...NONE. &&
