After a few dry days, a big precipitation event is expected to move through the region from west to east starting on Thursday and moving out to the east on Sunday and Monday. The heaviest precipitation is expected to fall to our west in Mississippi but northern Alabama and Georgia could receive up to two inches of precipitation. That could continue to improve drought conditions in that part of the region. Florida is not expected to receive much and some areas could be completely dry, so drought could expand there. See separate story for a discussion of the winter precipitation that is expected with the late-week storm.
