hot relatively dry weather is expected for the rest of the week. but it's good news for the home of the blues. and, pam, i wanted to give you an idea of just how high the waters are. i am standing in what is in essence the mississippi river. but this is usually not here. this is actually a stairway that goes down to a parkway. there's green space right down on the other side of these stairs. and then there's the wall that goes into the mississippi. and as you can see here power lines are covered by the water. just beyond that mud island some trees completely covered. some places you can only see tree tops. but i do have to tell you too forecasters are warning that this is not going to clear up any time soon. it could take into june before the waters completely recede. pam. >> all right. thank you, holly. live in memphis, tennessee. time now 5:47. overnight at least four nato air strikes the libyan capitol city of tripoli. it was some of the heaviest
