Discussion... 


Center of upper low moving across northeastern Texas this 
evening...with the associated surface cold front over central 
Arkansas and Louisiana. Numerous showers have developed over 
western and southern Mississippi the past few hours and this trend 
is expected to continue throughout the night. Showers should reach 
west central Alabama around midnight and then slowly overspread 
central Alabama Sunday. 


Sky cover has played havoc on the evening temperatures...but 
overall the forecast is in decent shape. Clouds will continue to 
increase throughout the remainder of the evening with temperatures 
leveling off ahead of the precipitation. 


Some minor adjustments were made to hourly grids and sky cover. 
All updates are out.
