Snail-of-a-Storm Slowly Inching This Way

After receiving little or no rain for most of the year, the prayers of most South Texans have been answered.
Some areas of Texas have received nearly a year's worth of rain this week. The slow storm system is creeping north and is expected to continue a north to northeast path, but may not move out until late next week.

Until then the Midsouth can expect to be under the threat of rain showers along with an isolated thunderstorm or two mixed in-heavy rain may occur later in the weekend and into mid-week as the storm system awaits support in the upper levels to move it along.

Although little or no rain has fallen over many parts of the Midsouth, it would not be surprising to see some areas to receive 1 to 3 inches (or more) of rain before it's all said and done. The Flood Watch for parts of the Arklatex region may have to be expanded later to cover parts north and east.

Temperatures will not fluctuate much do to dense cloud cover and precipitation, ranging from the upper 60's to the lower 80's for the next few days.
