The biggest threat from these storms appears to be heavy rain. The cold front is expected to advance through the Mississippi River Valley today, with the heaviest rainfall concentrated in East Texas and Western Louisiana.

Tomorrow, a portion of the cold front breaks off to the North, and another front and associated low forms over the Lower Mississippi River Valley in Louisiana. This will bring a fresh round of showers and thunderstorms to the Gulf Coast.

It looks like the Central and Southern Plains will see a brief break in the middle of the week before another storm sets up for the weekend.
