MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -We’ve been stuck in this unsettled pattern all week, and Thursday won’t be much different. An upper-level disturbance will cross our area early Thursday, and it could lead to some early AM showers. Otherwise, the heat of the day, abundant moisture, and small scale boundaries left over from the previous day could lead to more scattered showers & storms Thursday late afternoon & evening. Additional rainfall amounts could range from 1-3″, so more localized flooding is possible.

MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -You’ll need the umbrella again for Wednesday as scattered showers & storms redevelop across our area. The stalled front that was in our area Tuesday will eventually wash-out, but the smaller boundaries Tuesday’s storms left behind along with the heat of the day, ample moisture, and some upper-level spokes of energy will all work together to get more storms popping. Wednesday AM, isolated showers are possible along with some areas of possible fog.

MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -A cold front stalls across our region for Tuesday and Wednesday, and this will serve as a trigger for scattered - numerous showers & storms during that time frame. Therefore, an umbrella is a must-have due to the rounds of rain expected, and there could be moderate-heavy downpours at times. There’s plenty of moisture in the atmosphere for this system to work with, and 3-day rainfall totals (ending Wednesday evening) will range from 1-3″... locally more.

MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -An upper-level ridge of high pressure is sitting over our region, and it’s leading to warmer than average temps. Highs will be 5-10 degrees above the norm this Easter weekend with mid-upper 80s on Saturday and mid 80s on Sunday. Mornings will be very mild as well... starting with 60s. A developing system to our west will gradually move towards us, so winds will remain a bit breezy ahead of it.
