Showers and some storms today...

Sunday night was an active weather night across Mississippi and Alabama with numerous severe thunderstorm warnings and a few tornado warnings issued.

The disturbance that caused all of that active weather is moving into our region today, weakening as it does so. We will have the chance of showers and embedded storms today, and a few storms could produce some damaging wind gusts and even a brief tornado. We will watch it closely.

We will be in a warm and unsettled pattern until a potent cold front ushers in chilly air for Friday and the Halloween weekend. Tomorrow we will be between storm systems, so the rain chance, while not zero, is relatively low. Shower and storm chances will increase as that front approaches later Wednesday into Thursday.

Highs around the region will surge into the 80s through the mid-week period. Lows will remain in the 60s.

Behind the front, look for some 60s for highs Friday and Saturday and lows Saturday morning well down into the 30s. Some frost looks like it might be possible Saturday morning in some places.

For Halloween, great weather. Lower 70s for highs with evening temps slipping through the 60s and into the 50s.

Tropics...

Hurricane Richard made landfall in Belize last night and is now weakening in Central America.
