Remnants of Delta pass through Saturday

SUMMARY:  The remnants of Hurricane Delta will cross north Mississippi and west Alabama between late Friday night and Sunday.  The highest severe impacts should occur between sunrise and sunset Saturday. Rainfall between 1-4″, wind gusts 30-40+ mph, and isolated tornadoes remain possible.  Some rain and clouds will linger Sunday but the upcoming work week is looking pretty nice.

Severe weather threats

FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with areas of rain developing. Lows in the low 70s.  Winds ENE 10-20 mph.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with areas of locally heavy rain. One or two arcing rain bands east of Delta’s center of circulation will lead to most of the active weather in our region.  Between 1-4″ may fall and that could lead to some flooding issues.  Sustained winds between 15-25 mph with gusts 30-40+ or higher may occur leading to some scattered power outages and downed trees.  A few isolated tornadoes also can’t be ruled out at any time from about sunrise to about sunset.  The highest odds of them may occur during the afternoon hours during peak heating. Temperatures hold steady in the 70s all day long.
