A few peeks of sun break up otherwise cloudy skies that have those scattered showers in them that I mentioned in yesterday's posts. Here's a look at the current NEXRAD composite:

Mostly scattered showers, becoming more numerous as you head southwest. We do note a thunderstorm in the Upper Peninsula near Escanaba. We'll keep the rain around in fits and starts throughout most of the day, as an upper disturbance works through the area. Some breaks and thin spots in the clouds will allow for peeks of sun, but that's about it. Another area of significance is down in the ArkLaTex, where a complex of strong thunderstorms has been wreaking havoc during the night and is poised to move east out of Texas and into Arkansas and Louisiana.
Out in the Gulf Of Mexico, the 2013 hurricane season kicks off with Tropical Storm Andrea up to mischief off the Florida coast. She's slowly drifting toward the Big Bend, currently moving NNE at 14 MPH with max sustained wind of 60 MPH according to the National Hurricane Center. She will be a problem for Florida and perhaps Georgia, with flooding and such. Tornadoes are possible across the southern 2/3 of Florida today, and a Tornado Watch has been posted accordingly by the Storm Prediction Center. Here's a look at those areas:

A fairly benign pattern in place for the next several days. Here's a look at the forecast for Jackson:
And here's the extended outlook:
Have a great day!
