tonight through Monday, bringing a chance for showers and
thunderstorms. Drier air will move into the area behind the front
beginning in southeast Arkansas and northern Mississippi districts
during the daytime Monday. Total rainfall amounts will be less

percent in some areas by Tuesday, mainly east of I-55. However,
winds are expected to remain rather light. Patchy fog is possible
early Monday morning across south Mississippi and central
Louisiana, but no widespread or dense fog is expected.
