We saw some scattered showers and thunderstorms once again across our area on this Thursday.  A few of which did get a little on the heavy side at times.  We will continue to see some more scattered showers and thunderstorms in our weather forecast for the overnight hours and into our weekend.  A few of the thunderstorms at times will be a little on the heavy and hefty side.

However, down the line it looks like we will see a much better chance for some rain and thunderstorms due to Christobal.  This could lead to some pretty good chances for some heavy rainfall at times and we will be in the prime zone for some tornadic thunderstorms at times.  One needs to just stay weather aware over the next several days as we fine tune the weather down the line.

Cristobal Impacts in North Miss & NW Ala. 

As of now, it's still difficult to pinpoint the specifics. But below are a few key points that you should know about for right now. 

• Increased rain chances are likely, perhaps flooding rainfall, Monday and/or Tuesday. 
• Assuming Cristobal's track remains west of us, there could be a tornado risk sometime Monday, perhaps Tuesday morning. 
• Some blustry wind may be sustained for a while as it passes. Damaging wind gusts will also be possible, depending on how near or far the center of circulation is to our area as it passes.
