Rainfall across the area continues to increase this afternoon as the low levels moisten up across the area.  Across the board this afternoon temps are in the upper 40′s and low 50′s area wide with many areas reporting light rainfall.  Some moderate/heavy rainfall is spreading northeast across southern Mississippi into western sections of Alabama this hour.  Rain will generally become a little heavier this evening into the overnight as the bulk of the shortwave moves across.

Another wave of energy will dive southward towards Texas tomorrow and attempt to spin up another little surface reflection late Thursday into early Friday.  At this point the main precip looks to stay southward as the colder air arrives, but a few flurries can’t be ruled out for the first day of the new year.  We will continue to monitor the progression of these systems as we head into a colder pattern.
