Elsewhere, cities such as Atlanta and Charlotte enjoy clearer skies for now, though vigilance for any weather shifts is essential.

By 10 AM, clouds increase, with temperatures rising to 83 degrees and winds shifting from the southwest at 6 miles per hour.

Tomorrow Memphis will reach a high of 91 degrees, while Jackson is also anticipated to hit 91. Atlanta can expect a high of 87 degrees, aligning with seasonal norms.

A cold front is moving across the Southeast, bringing scattered thunderstorms and heavy rain from Houston to Montgomery through early Tuesday.

As the system progresses, temperatures will cool slightly, but the rain risk remains high. By mid-week, drier conditions will gradually develop across the Gulf Coast.
