Digging Deeper : Cool temperatures, clouds and showers hang around for a few more days, but changes are on the horizon
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Over the past week, there have been a few showers around the Mid-South, in which, a lot of cloud coverage has engulfed the region, too.

This stationary front hasn’t even weakened all that much, and continues to dump some pretty heavy rain totals over parts of Texas and Louisiana. For the Mid-South, specifically, the stationary front did take a little bit of a jog to the south on Wednesday, which kept the shower activity slightly further south than I anticipate. Nonetheless, there have been a few showers around the Mid-South over the past few days, and until this stationary front completely clears out, the threat of showers will stay elevated.
