OVERNIGHT. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN/BE A FEW FLURRIES OR A FLAKE OR
TWO NORTH OF I-20 THROUGH DAYBREAK. HOWEVER, DEW POINTS HAVE
SETTLED IN THE TEENS AND SUBLIMATION IN THE DRY AIR ALOFT MAY

RAINFALL ON TUESDAY AHEAD OF OUR NEXT COLD FRONT. SHOWERS WILL
DEVELOP BY MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUE INCREASING IN COVERAGE DURING ALL
OF TUESDAY, ALONG WITH THE INTENSITY PERHAPS ISOLATING SOME
THUNDERSTORMS, WHILE MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD DOWN I-49. THIS ACTIVITY
WILL BE ENDING EARLY EVENING WITH SHIFTING WINDS. OUR COLD FRONT
THAT FOLLOWS WILL BUMP HIGHS IN THE 60S BACK INTO THE NORMAL 50S.
LOWS WILL BE AT OR BELOW AVERAGE FOR THURSDAY AND WARMING BEGINS
AGAIN ON FRIDAY.
OUR FINAL FRONT THIS CALENDAR WEEK ARRIVES DRY NEXT WEEKEND WITH
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CHILL. THE WARMER TREND WINS OUT UNTIL
