Feeling Like Spring Again!

After a pretty crazy tornado outbreak yesterday the magnolia state should be have some seasonal temperatures in the upcoming week.  Today through Tuesday we will experience a warming trend that will bring our temperatures into the low 80's with clear to partly cloudy skies.  By Wednesday the Starkville area could see some isolated showers and thunderstorms through Friday, but at this point nothing is looking to be severe.  Looking like a great last week of school for MSU students!

Deja Vu or a Big Weather Prank?

With the possibility of a nor'easter bearing down tomorrow I am reminded of an overlooked storm from 1997.  Mother Nature's prank on the people of the Northeast? You decide!april fools storm

Is it spring yet?

Unfortunately for those of us who like mild/warm weather tonight and tomorrow are going to be chilly.  In the Starkville area we will cool down overnight into the 30s.  If you are like me then that is too cold! Luckily we will see some warmer weather as the week progresses.  By Wednesday a warm front will come through the area and bring the possibility of severe weather. So midweek make sure you are weather aware in the case of severe weather.

Hello!

Today was definitely a beautiful day here in Starkville!  Definitely enjoying the warm temperatures (like 13 degrees above average).  This week is going to be a little more dynamic than last week because around Monday night the cold front that is attached to a very large system will be moving through the area, but it will only bring a moderate chance of rain and bring temperatures back down to the 50’s, but fear not because we will quickly rebound back into the 60’s and 70’s by the end of the week!

Forecast for the week:

Sunday: Sunny by the afternoon with a high of 78 and a low of 57

Monday: Mostly cloudy with a high of 72 and a low of 42 with a chance of rain late in the afternoon and into the evening.

Tuesday: Sunny with highs in the 50’s and lows in the 30’s

Wednesday: Mostly sunny with highs in the lower 60’s

Have a great week!

Warmer Weather in Mississippi...Finally

With the occurrence of last weeks' 5" of snow, most of us in the deep south have decided that it is time for spring to make its appearance.  Those people will be in luck because this week a High pressure system will be influencing the weather in our area giving us a dry and warm week! Temperatures are going to be in the 60's this week, possibly warming to the 70's by Friday.  All in all this weeks weather will be a welcome change from the frigid temperatures we have been dealing with so far this winter.

Cold Again!

Did you enjoy the weather today?  I know I did! Unfortunately, it is short lived.  Tomorrow a cold front is going to push through the area once again giving us the possibility for some cold rain and winter weather.  Tonight through early tomorrow any precipitation that we will see in our area will be a cold rain, which will no doubt be annoying (like all cold rains).  There is also the possibility for some snow to head our way tomorrow, probably in the form of a wintry mix, but don’t expect any accumulation.  Of course, it seems we can’t have more than one comfortable day in the area so temperatures are going to dip down once again and see lows in the 20’s once the cold front has passed.  On a hopeful note the groundhog saw his shadow so I know I am hoping for an early spring (fingers crossed!).

After a beautiful day like today it is hard to believe it is still January.  It is also hard to believe that there is a possibility for severe weather this week, but alas, there is that possibility.  The rain will begin moving in beginning tomorrow and tomorrow night as a low pressure center sits to our west.  This system will give us a chance of precip. through Tuesday when we will see a possibility for some storms to be strong to severe, as a cold front moves through bringing our high temperatures from the 60’s to the upper 40’s.  This will give us a reminder that even though we live in the south it is indeed still winter (as deceptive as today might have been).
