.DISCUSSION...

Fire weather concerns are limited as moisture continues to move
back into the area leading to gradually increasing rain chances.
Showers and storms should mainly be limited to areas west of the
I-55 corridor this afternoon and Monday, spreading eastward
toward the I- 59 corridor midweek, and then becoming more
area-wide Thursday through the weekend. Over the next 7 days
forecast rainfall totals vary from 2-3 inches across northwestern
areas to less than an inch for extreme southeast Louisiana and
much of the Mississippi coast, though obviously point-specific
totals will depend on exact locations of any heavier
thunderstorms.

Please update on fog probabilities intensity and duration overnight
into tomorrow morning.

There is a near zero percent chance of fog development tonight
into tomorrow morning.
