I hope you all are having a good Wednesday. So far, this week has gone by just like any of the previous week with sunny conditions and mild temperatures. We've actually been going through mid-February on a quiet with hardly any substantial rain to speak of. I admit it has certainly been nice and I've been enjoying these Spring-like conditions to the fullest. However, on Thursday our flow will be interrupted by severe weather. Like I stated yesterday, it's very ironic that on the week of Severe Weather Awareness Week we have severe weather on the same week. We are in that time of season though.

What's Happening Atmospherically

Observing surface maps, a warm front will push from the south today and help to raise temperature across the state. We would probably just ended up in the upper 60s and lower 70s again today, but this warm front is going to increase temperatures despite being much more cloudy today. Great warm air advection taking place with this warm front moving north and I don't think we'll see much rain from this warm front today. From this front in the Jackson area, we'll only more clouds and temperatures above normal. Also, because of this warm front and clouds coverage lows tonight will be quite mild and only falling into the upper 50s in Jackson, This will really help transition weather for Thursday.

For Thursday, we do have severe weather starting in the afternoon hours. The area of concern is around the northern MS, AR, and TN regions. There is potential for strong tornadoes to break out there. Here in Jackson, we could see some strong severe strong swing by although Bufkit files does not display alot of precipitation with it. Strong winds will occur as well. I will have more updates for you later today as well as more information.
