Cold front brings rain, a few storms; up to 1 inch expected in North Mississippi

Forecasters said a cold front will push rain and a few thunderstorms through the region today.

They said North Mississippi could see up to 1 inch of rain, but that amount is not expected to improve drought conditions.

Forecasters said the precipitation will include a few thunderstorms, though no widespread severe weather was forecast in the initial outlook.

Much cooler air is expected to arrive for the second half of the weekend, forecasters said.
