Three Cheers For Rain--3 o'clock Report

Showers were fairly numerous atmid-afternoon across the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama. Also over Dekalb, Cherokee and Cleburne County in NE Alabama.

Showers and thunderstorms even more numerous over Mississippi--especially the East Central and South part. Everything moving east.

To the NW, a line of showers and thunderstorms extended from Little Rock to Nashville. These storms were along a "cold" front slowly pushing toward the SE.

All of these ingredients should spell our best chance of rain in a long time.

Keep cheering for the storms.
