.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 232 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023

Seasonably cool conditions are on tap for the next two or three
days. Rain returns to the Midsouth tonight with several periods
of rain and thunderstorms through the remainder of the work week.
Temperatures will trend a few degrees warmer, reaching 90 degrees
across much of the area by Friday. The weekend looks warmer,
featuring highs in the upper 80s to low 90s with isolated to
scattered afternoon thunderstorms.

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through next Sunday) Issued at 232 PM
CDT Mon Jun 12 2023

We will remain in a non-typical pattern for June this week.
Climatologically the mean storm track across the Nation shifts
across the Central Plains and Midwest this time of year, but for
the last couple of days it has been over the Midsouth and even
along the Gulf Coast. That looks like it will continue through at
least Friday as a series of midlevel disturbances tracks through
zonal flow. There may be a few strong to severe storms late
tonight into tomorrow, but otherwise the risk of any organized
severe thunderstorms appears low. The Storm Prediction Center has
included nearly all of north Mississippi in a Marginal to Slight
risk for severe thunderstorms in their Day 2 convective outlook.
The primary threat should be damaging wind with a secondary threat
of large hail. Flooding rain may also become a concern by the end
of the work week across north Mississippi which should remain in
the crosshairs of the episodic storms. Rainfall totals up to 4
inches are possible in northeast Mississippi.

A ridge will begin to build west of the Mississippi River on
Friday and slowly shift across the Midsouth into the weekend. As
a result, expect more typical summertime temperatures and
primarily diurnally driven thunderstorms. Expect high temperatures
in the upper 80s to low 90s. There is some indication that
another cold front will move through the Midsouth by Sunday.
