RADAR INDICATES LIGHT RETURNS OVER PARTS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI.
THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF LIGHT SLEET ALONG WITH LIGHT RAIN.
ACCUMULATIONS OF SLEET THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ARE NOT
EXPECTED.

COLD HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD REMAIN ENTRENCHED WHILE UPPER WINDS
CONVEY ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER UP OVER THE MIDSOUTH THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS.

A CUT OFF LOW OVER NEW MEXICO WILL BEGIN TO LIFT OUT SATURDAY AND
BRING A SURGE OF MOISTURE UP OVER THE AREA. WESTERN COUNTIES IN
THE COUNTY WARNING AREA WILL BEGIN TO GET RAIN SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT OUT THROUGH THE
COMING WEEKEND. THE BIGGEST CONCERN AT THIS TIME IS THAT THERE
WILL BE SOME FROZEN PRECIPITATION SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
NIGHT. SNOW IS THE LIKELY TYPE OF WINTER PRECIPITATION EXPECTED.
