Hurray! It finally rained at my house a good .5 and I'll take it. That pesky low spinning over Texas remains there and central Mississippi can continue to expect more late day downpours into the weekend.

A few of you have sent me notes on how the rain has missed your house as well. Rest assured you were not alone but today was a nice widespread rain (except for area northeast of Jackson to the north of Carthage) Please know there are no "secret" forces at work keeping the rain away from particular spots. The late day rains are totally random each day. A crap shoot if you will. Who knows maybe the rain today will break the dry spell...for a little while any way.

Here is what I am thinking for the next week....scattered afternoon/evening downpours should remain in the forecast until early next week. By the middle of next week a hot dome of air will try to build into Mississippi. This could boost highs back up into the middle 90s under sunny skies. Late days rain will become scarce once again. Stay tuned.
