~Starkville, MS

A good Tuesday to you all! I hope the day is going great for all of you. Weather conditions are certainly looking good with partly sunny conditions outside currently. I thought the entire day was going to be filled with overcast conditions but it turns out that we were able to see the sun out with some fluffy clouds to fill the skies. Temperatures are only in the upper 40s at this current moment but feels a tad bit warmer than that. Tonight, looks to be another cold night with some areas in MS possibly receiving some snow.

The reason for this possibility of snow is due to some moisture from the west out from the Texas region which will be in place tonight along with the combination of cold air along the surface. With this combination, we will see a possibility of snow mostly falling in the southern areas of Mississippi along the corridor of I-20. So, areas such as Hattiesburg, Brookhaven, McComb and even cities further up like Jackson, Pearl, and Forest will see a mix between light rain and snow. However, no accumulation is expected. The best areas of snowfall will likely fall in the western part of MS like Vicksburg. As far as our area goes, I don't expect snow and maybe some light and stray showers for some parts of Oktibbeha county.

For the rest of today, expect highs to reach into the lower 50s with increasing clouds. Winds will come out the northwest at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight will be another night to wear something warm with temperatures dropping to the lower 30s again. A possible chance of stray showers in the area but only light.

Tomorrow, we will really begin to feel the return of winter weather as even colder temperatures becomes apparent. Lows for Wednesday night looks to be in the lower 20s! Brrrrr! Make sure to keep it here for your Face of the Sky forecast! Stay warm and may God continue to bless you!
