The cloud coverage, few showers and cool temperatures that we have experienced lately is due to a stationary front that hasn’t moved a whole heck of a lot over the past week. 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.

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.
