MID-WEEK: It will be a battle of weakened high pressure to the east and a few weak upper-air disturbances glancing the MS Valley from the west. It looks like at least some scattered showers and storms will result on Wednesday and Thursday, especially across the western half of the viewing area.

FRIDAY: The end of the week looks to dry out and warm up slightly with highs in the middle to possibly upper 80s.

WEEKEND: Uncertainty remains in the forecast as forecast models remain split on the evolution of the upper-air pattern. For now, expect at least isolated showers each day with highs in the middle 80s. Stay tuned for updates through the week!
