We start Mother’s Day Weekend with nice weather but it will come to an end by Sunday night.
Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the morning.
Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 53. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph after midnight.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 81. South wind 5 to 15 mph.
Rain returns Sunday night as a complex system stalls out over the southeast keeping us in a wet pattern all the way through Thursday. The WPC is concerned about flooding across the south.
Early next week the threat for heavy rain will be focused around the Gulf Coast states. Facing three consecutive days of accumulations from 1-2+ inches, flooding will be the primary concern. A slight risk of excessive rain has already been issued for portions AR/LA/MS for Monday. pic.twitter.com/cBVCCAcPk0
