.DISCUSSION...

Low humidity will persist across west Tennessee and Eastern
Arkansas tomorrow with values dipping into the lower 30s once again.
Mainly dry conditions are expected tomorrow with 20 foot winds
below 10 knots. Chances for wetting rain will increase on Thursday
as a warm front lifts across the region. Isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms are possible both Friday and Saturday along
with moderate winds each day. The best chance for widespread rainfall
will arrive early next week as a cold front moves into the region.
