I'm back and so is the COLD!!!

Starkville-

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a great and fantastic Christmas and are starting this new year on a refreshing mark! I am very glad to be back and excited to make this new year an unforgetable one. I don't know about you guys but I am sooooo cold right now!! For a minute I thought this January was going to be a warm one, but boy was I fooled. At this current moment, the temperature is at 28 degrees and it is only 6:00 p.m. By tonight, we should be approaching temps of about 12 or 13 degrees. I'm getting shivers just thinking about it! This is all due because of this low pressure system we like to call the Alberta Clipper. Now, the Alberta Clipper is just a fast moving low pressure system which usually forms in Canada and occurs between December and February. This type of low pressure generally only affect the central parts of Canada and dips toward the Upper Midwest of the U.S bringing in blast of surging Artic air to the region. However, this system is dragging all the way down to the south and toward the eastern coastline. This could be due because of a high pressure right behind it pushing it off toward the east. Most of you are probably wondering why there isn't any flurries about. Well, frankly it is just too cold for snow to appear on the ground. Also, it is very dry and dewpoints are very low so our chances of getting any snow is slim. For Friday morning, be prepared to see ice on the ground and temperature to not rise very much in the day as the high will only get to around 31 degrees. Make sure to have a jacket, sweater and all of your winter style of clothing to stay warm because even though the temp is at 31 the wind chill could be around 18-20 degrees not including the 10mph wind thats going to be in affect. Friday lows will be around the same as today at 13 degrees. For the weekend, temps begins to rise slowly back up as a high pressure settles here in the south. For Saturday, look for highs to be around 43 and lows of about 29. For Sunday, highs should get up to about 50 with lows dropping down to 28. Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend and please try to stay warm. I'll talk to you all Sunday! God Bless!
