In Depth:
May is starting off feeling very much like summertime with sunshine and highs in the 80s! The near record heat hangs around through Thursday with temperatures soaring again. Late Thursday a more active pattern moves back in, bringing the return of rainfall. Showers will also help cool us off late this week & this weekend.

We'll flirt with a record high again Thursday. As rain and thunderstorm
chances return to the Mid-South, the afternoon temperatures will drop
a few degrees Friday and for the weekend but remain above the average
high of 77 degrees.

Scattered showers will remain off and on throughout the next week. Severe chances will remain low with only a strong storm or two possible, but it isn't expected. None of the days will be a complete washout but it can be a bit of a nuance headed into this weekend.
