A cold front finally moves through today, but with only an isolated afternoon shower. It'll remain hot (95° high) under partly cloudy skies as wind shifts to the north. Watch for patchy fog early this morning. Skies should be clear for tonight's lunar eclipse!

6:00pm Storms in central AR are moving southeast and additional storms are developing in the Delta, but these will miss the vast majority of the metro north of Tate/Tunica Co. Can't rule out a few evening showers locally, but storms should remain SW of the city.

4:40pm We're all-clear as we head into rush hour, and with any luck it'll stay that way. Storms in AR are beefy, but should stay over there. Any attempt to move towards the river will be met with unwelcome, more stable air. Can't rule out a t'storm locally, but I'm optimistic.

Some good news for this evening... the outflow that moved through earlier has stabilized the atmosphere over west TN a bit and the Level 2 severe storm risk has been lowered to level 1. Not out of the woods, but better! Keeping an eye on north-central AR storms now.
