AREA WEATHER UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
325 PM CDT SAT APR 8 2006

A STARK CONTRAST IN TEMPERATURES EVIDENT ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION 
THIS AFTERNOON. READINGS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE UPPER 50S UP IN THE 
UPPER DELTA AREA WITH OVERCAST SKIES AND GUSTY NORTH WINDS MAKING 
CONDITIONS FEEL A LITTLE CHILLY. BUT FURTHER SOUTH...READINGS ACROSS 
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF MISSISSIPPI ARE PRIMARILY IN THE LOW TO MID 70S 
WITH STILL A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. IN FACT...ENOUGH LOW LEVEL 
INSTABILITY REMAINS IN PLACE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 
TWENTY CORRIDOR EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO FUEL THE 
DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW SHOWERS AS A SECONDARY COLD FRONT PLOWS IN FROM 
THE NORTH. THESE ISOLATED SHOWERS SHOULD GENERALLY NOT BE A BIG DEAL 
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CHANCE ONE OR TWO COULD 
REACH THUNDERSTORM STATUS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ALONG THE 
INTERSTATE 59 CORRIDOR IN SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. OTHERWISE...EXPECT 
OCCASIONALLY GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE REGION LATE 
TODAY WITH THE EXPANSE OF LOWER CLOUDS IN NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI 
TRYING TO MAKE A CONCERTED PUSH INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI BEFORE 
EVENING. ANY SHOWERS IN THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD END BY DARK.
