***Next week for Mississippi is our Severe Weather Awareness Week. Since we are having such lovely weather, this will make for a great opportunity to learn and prepare for any severe weather outbreak that is due to come this spring and in the future. I will help to assist you in this. So, starting next week I will blog concerning types of severe weather such as tornadoes and lightning and what to do in such situations. I will post lots of pictures and videos. You wouldn't want to miss next week's blogs I promise.***

Currently~as of 8:25a.m.
A beautiful and lovely Wednesday morning it is with clear skies around the Jackson area and current temperatures in the lower 50s. These past few days have been absolutely wonderful with no showers or cold weather in sight. For those of you who were tired of being cold, you all definitely got your wish as we have been anything but that lately. Highs have been consistently in the upper 60s since this past weekend and by the end of the day we should be all the way into the mid 70s. It doesn't feel like February for sure as temperatures will be about 10-15 degrees higher than our normal this time of year.
What's Happening Atmospherically
High pressure and strong warm air advection is really in full force now. This strong ridge of high pressure is allowing for us to have this tropical weather here in the south. I can better illustrate this by pointing to the picture to the right. This is a water vapor imagery and basically it depicts where moisture and dry airmasses are around the U.S. The red area in the Gulf of Mexico represents dry and warm air. So right now it is very warm in the Gulf and with high pressure circulating in a clock-wise fashion, its allowing for us to have this warm and spring-like conditions and is helping temperatures stay about 10 degrees above normal.
Also, these conditions will continue for the rest of the week. Observing models, I see no big change coming up through the week so great news for those enjoying this weather. Even showers have disappeared from the forecast. Now, Friday we could potentially have some sprinkles or light showers depending on circumstances. We already will have strong warm air advection taking place. Also, looking at the GFS model it seems like a bit a moisture moving in around the evening time. When you have warm air advection and moisture in place it usually means rising air which ultimately translate into clouds and rain. However, for right now it's a very slim chance of showers being produced at the time. Our best chance of probably seeing showers back in our forecast is on early next week. The European model (ECMWF) also show by mid-week of next week, temperatures could be returning back to normal.
Today
Spring-like weather continues with highs all the way in the 70s. You should be ashamed of yourself if your not going outside to enjoy this nice weather. Lovely skies today with cumulus clouds to sprinkle the skies with winds out of the south at 5-10 mph. Tonight, temperatures will only drop into the upper 40s. Clouds should increase overnight, so we won't be completely clear tonight. Winds still out of the south at around 5mph.
Go out and enjoy this fantastic weather! God bless!
