Same story different day. Temps have once again climbed into the triple digits area wide. South-Central Mississippi has benefited from the most thunderstorm activity thus far today, however the radar looks bleak in our area with the exception of two small showers in Lamar Co. Rain chances will increase later this week with the possibility of a "cold front" passing through sometime Fri/Sat. It will be the most interesting feature to watch in this otherwise boring weather pattern. This front will have to battle the area of high pressure currently situated over the region for us to have any chance at precip this weekend. The ridge (high pressure) has weakened somewhat and shifted west, so hopefully that is a trend that will carry through the next few days and open the door for some rain.
Tropical Update: Colin has disappeared. Unfavorable upper-level wind flow prevented Colin from "getting his act together". The NHC is still monitoring his remains, however they place only a 20% chance of reorganization within the next 48 hours. However, the longer he survives as a reminant low, the more interesting he will become. Current thinking leads me to believe that he is a non-threat to the Eastern U.S. and will not affect our weather.

Lawn and Garden Moisture:
Current index shows most of Alabama on the dry side of the scale. The image can be clicked on if you wish to enlarge it. The good news is that the scale only ranges 2 inches either way, so one good rain could be very beneficial. I will re-visit this map over the weekend and compare.
