Before whatever happens [or doesn't happen!] this weekend, another few days of warm temperatures [with respect to average] and clear/sunny skies will continue. Take advantage of these nice days while you can!! #TNwx #MSwx #ARwx #MOwx

Western #TNwx and Northern #MSwx have been mainly dry, but a few showers have been moving from the south to the north in Northeast #ARwx this afternoon. High pressure to the east is driving these showers to the north, which should stay sub-severe.

Cluster of showers and thunderstorms is attempting to get its act together in Shelby County. These are moving northeast at 25-30 mph and will have heavy rain and stronger winds [40-50 mph] in them #TNwx

Taking the win that severe weather has generally been outside of the Mid-South on Wednesday. Still keeping an eye on storms in #ARwx, but we are [seemingly!] in a decent spot. #TNwx #MSwx

The slight risk has been dropped throughout most of WEstern #TNwx but is still in place for most of #ARwx and Northern #MSwx. Keeping an eye on storms in Northern Arkansas as I type this out.

Most of the Mid-South has been upgraded to a slight risk of severe weather on Wednesday, August 26th. Strong winds are the biggest threat out of this. Could have storms in the morning, which could hinder the risk a little bit, but the afternoon/evening hours could be stormy.

While there have been some stronger winds in parts of Northwestern #TNwx and Northeast #ARwx, we have been able to avoid some VERY strong winds like parts of #MOwx and #KYwx have seen. Still keeping an eye on things, but cautiously optimistic.

A few more counties in #TNwx were added to the severe thunderstorm watch, including Gibson, Benton, Carroll and Henry Counties. I don't anticipate this watch [which is until 3 AM] to be extended to the south, but keeping an eye on radar [which is 'behaving' locally].

NASTY storms near Cape Girardeau, #MOwx as there is a BUNCH of lightning moving through/just south of this area. Fortunately, those storms should not be an issue for the Mid-South, but I'm keeping an eye on the storms in Northeastern #ARwx

A severe thunderstorm watch was issued for Northwest #TNwx, Southeast #MOwx and Northeast #ARwx until 3 AM. Strong winds are the biggest issue with this. Expecting a line to weaken as it approaches the Mid-South, but it could still pack a bit of a punch. @MayorJohnHolden

Cluster of showers and thunderstorms [some severe] continue to slide to the southeast at around 45 mph in #ARwx. Thinking this avoids #TNwx but could move across the Mississippi River in #MSwx by about 4 PM. Strong winds, blowing dust, heavy rain would be biggest issues.

With a few showers and thunderstorms in Central and Northwestern #ARwx, the Storm Prediction Center has gone ahead and placed most of the Mid-South in a marginal risk [1/5] of severe weather today. Not expecting anything crazy, but keeping an eye on storms out west. #TNwx #MSwx

Weather has cooperated nicely in Clarksdale #MSwx this evening for the 38th annual Sunflower River Blues & Gospel music festival! @RonChilders @PatrickEllisWx @RileyWinchWx @addisonbentley_ @WMCActionNews5

Some smoke is around the Mid-South now and an air quality alert has been issued for Crittenden, DeSoto and Shelby Counties for Wednesday. A lack of winds [which helps 'clean' the air] and ongoing smoke from fires around the Western US will hinder air quality. #TNwx #MSwx #ARwx

I feel bad for the areas in Northeastern #ARwx and Northwest #MSwx where it hasn't rained, as it feels like it is well over 100° right now.... Yeesh.....
