It's unusual for extended range model guidance to forecast record temps, but that is exactly what it is doing for this weekend. #tnwx

Vast majority of the metro remains dry. Our rain chances are shrinking by the minute as the window of opportunity slips by w/ no storms.

Any storms should be moving SE/20-25 mph vs. nearly stationary y'day, lessening any flooding risk, though heavy rain is possible.

Overnight t'storms have moved well to our east. We'll see another chance of rain late this AM/aftn. Cooler! High: lower 80s.

Storms covering much of Desoto Co, esp. E sections. Heavy rain/lightning continue. Tate Co also being affected #mswx /KT

Olive Branch: You'll be getting in on the heavy rain shortly. Same goes for NW sections of Fayette Co. #mswx #tnwx /KT

As storms move E, period of heavy rain/lightning expected. Nothing severe. Arlington/Lakeland & Southaven sees heaviest. #mswx #tnwx /KT

@danielgafford And perhaps with no wind? They've got some serious wind blockage going on there.

Storm Prediction Center just put metro in a Slight Risk for this aftn. A few storms could generate some hail or strong wind. #memstorm

@amykat79 Thx again! If you have hail that approaches 1" (quarter size), 50+mph wind and/or damage, tag w/ #mspotter. Will relay to NWS. /KT

Severe T'storm Warning for Crittenden/Shelby will expire at 6:00, but storms will continue w/small hail & gusty wind. #arwx #memstorm /KT

RT @ShawnaPoag: @memphisweather1 very heavy rain and pea size hail and strong wind!

New storms reforming NW of W Memphis and near Marion. These may also produce small hail, gusty wind, dangerous lightning. #arwx /KT
