Spooky Forecast

Starkville~

Good morning friends! I hope you all are having a good Friday! I'm glad it's finally here. Basically, the rain has been the talk of the forecast lately with rain persisting throughout the day on yesterday. Most of the heavy rainfall came early Thursday morning occurring roughly at 3a.m. and ending around 8a.m. Throughout the day, we just mainly had drizzle but most of the rain cleared out leaving overcast skies. Today, overcast conditions still remain with rain mainly starting around 12:00 and 2:00 this afternoon. Expect showers for the rest of the day from that point, so any activities you have later will have to be done indoors. Highs will get to 79 or 80 by noon ahead of the front and then taper off to lower 70s as the day progress. It will be very gusty as well as winds will peak b/w 15-20mph. Tonight, expect the rain to continue with a low of 50 degrees.

For the very spooky day on Saturday, I may have some good news even though more rain is in store for us but only in the very early morning, so about time when you wake up Saturday morning around 8 or 9 the rain should be out. So, the outlook for most of Halloween day is a mostly cloudy day with a high of 62. Saturday night looks to be very few clouds out which are going to allow for lows to be cooler around 42 degrees. Other than that, a rain free night for trick-a-treating. One note to add: Don't forget to set your clocks back as daylight savings will occur Sunday morning. Definitely, don't want to miss half of church service in the morning.

The sun finally comes back out on Sunday with sunny and clear skies. Temperatures will be very pleasant with a high of 67 and a nice calm breeze to accompany it. Have a great and safe weekend and keep it here for all of your latest weather updates. God bless!

Up and Down Week

Starkville~

Hi everyone and I hope everyone is having a good week. Weather conditions hasn't been so bad so far, as we've basically been having an up and down forecast. On Monday, we had sunny and clear skies which was the exact opposite on Tuesday with overcast conditions and rain during the morning hours. Today, is going to be just like Monday with maybe a little more clouds in the sky. The temperature will be very pleasant around 70 degrees as your day-time high accompany by a nice cool breeze out of the southeast. Tonight, clear to partly cloudy skies with temperatures dropping to the mid 50s. It's going to be another warm night.

Tomorrow, will be a different story as rain comes into the forecast. Models show another cold front coming through on Thursday evening. Typically, ahead of every front system, temperatures are going to be much warmer than at any other region and that is going to be the case for Thursday as highs approach the mid to upper 70s. With moist air ahead as well, its going to make for a muggy and sticky conditions as we have a combination of warm temperatures and moist air. Now, expect partly cloudy during the morning hours and clouds increasing throughout the day. Rain should come shortly b/w 7pm and 10pm and linger thoughout the night with lows only around 67. Some meteorologist are calling for some thunderstorms to occur, but I really don't see any weather components to make this happen. Do expect heavy rain and if anything else concerning thunderstorms, I'll definitely keep you updated.

For Friday, rain will still be around especially during the morning hours. It will not rain the entire day as it should taper off by 1pm. Another warm day with a high of 76 degrees. Next weather blog will come Friday and if there are any weather updates, I'll definitely post them up. I didn't get a chance to post my radio podcast but I'll have one up for Friday. Enjoy the day and God bless!

Today: High of 72 with partly cloudy skies/ SE winds at 5mph
Tonight: Low of 56 with partly cloudy skies
Thursday: 70% chance of rain after 6pm with a high of 77
Thursday Night: 40% chance of rain with a low of 67
Friday: 60% chance of rain before 1pm with a high of 76

Rain Back in the Forecast

Starkville~

Good afternoon everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend and were able to enjoy the game despite the loss to the Gators. Even though we ended up losing, it was still a good game and I'm proud of our dawgs hanging in there with the #1 team in the nation. For the most part we had pleasant fall temps through the weekend, and that warming trend will continue today with clear skies in the morning portion of the day. As we begin to progress throughout the day, however, more clouds will begin to appear as we have an approaching cold front coming through late this evening. Highs today will get to 71 degrees due to southerly flow from the gulf which will keep temperatures very mild today.

Tonight, overcast conditions are expected as the cold front draws near. Lows by 10:00pm will only be around the upper 50s, so a very warm night. Showers will begin early Tuesday morning around 2a.m. and being steady throughout the morning hours. If you have to go to work or school, an umbrella will be handy as models show widespread areas of rain throughout the MS area. Highs will get to 68. Most of your heavy rain will be in the southern parts of MS and moving eastward as Tuesday afternoon rolls around.

Now, by Tuesday night around 9:00 that system should be completely out of area leaving us with cloudy skies for most of Tuesday night and into most of Wednesday. Lows for Tuesday night will in the upper 40s. For Wednesday, you may see some breaks in the clouds but its going to be a mostly cloudy day. Temperatures will be in the mid 70s. Don't expect that to be the end of the rain, as more showers enter the forecast for Thursday. Some of those showers could be severe and I'll keep a closer eye on that as that day draws nearer. I'll be back on Wednesday with more on this upcoming weather. Have a great day! God bless!

Weekend Forecast (Get Ready for Florida)

Starkville~

Good afternoon everyone and a happy friday to you all! An exciting weekend for us Bulldawgs fans as the #1 team in the nation, Florida Gators, comes into town Saturday. I know I have really been looking forward to this game all week and its finally here. I don't know about you all but I think I smell a little upset here. Along with this predicted upset, beautiful conditions will accompany tomorrow. Before I get to tomorrow's condition, we got to get through today's first. For most of today, we have been under cloudy conditions left by the cold front that pass through here yesterday night. From this front, we only saw light showers which were out by this morning around 6:00a.m. Temperatures were actually warmer this morning than it is now with a high near 69 degrees. This is a typical front and like all fronts after it passes through, cooler air follows behind it. So progressing through the day, as you may notice, temperatures have been on the decrease with winds picking up. Current temperatures right now is 61 degrees. Tonight, we will continue to see a mostly cloudy condition with a low of 44 degrees with winds out of the northwest. Throughout the day for tomorrow, clouds conditions clear out a bit leaving us with partly clouds skies throughout the morning and afternoon hrs. Expect highs to be around the mid to upper 60s. If you are planning on attending the game that night, make sure to bring your coat as temperatures plummet all the way down to the upper 30s. It's going to make for a chilly football game, as clears skies helps to allow some of that heat to clear out and escape into the atmosphere. Sunday, winds will shift back from the southeast giving us some warm, gulf moisture. Sunny and beautiful skies will be the highlight for sunday with a high of 73 degrees. I hope you all have a great weekend and go Bulldawgs! God Bless!

Mid-Week Report Wed. Oct. 21, 2009

Starkville~

Good afternoon everyone! It has certainly been a lovely week thus far as clear, blue skies with temperatures in the lower 70s making a huge impact on our fall weather. With this kind of weather, it makes you just want to eat lunch outside during the afternoon hours or better yet just stand outside and sing to the world! The weather is just that nice! I don't know about you all but I have certainly been busy and I'll probably be even busier next week. Although busy, I still get to enjoy these weather conditions. Conditons will start to change a little bit as we have a low pressure system on the way and models show it arriving in our area later this evening. Now, for today temperatures should get up to a high of 74 degrees. We had clear skies for most of our morning, but with this approaching cold front clouds will be on the increase. By tonight, expect warmer temperatures as gulf moisture will still be flowing our way pumping in humidity and providing southern wind. Lows will in the mid 50s due to warmer temperatures ahead of front. Models guidance shows the cold front passing though late tonight with rain coming shortly after midnight. With the cold front and that southerly flow, we could see some severe thunderstorms in the area. I'll keep a closer eye on this and keep you updated. After having so much rain in the pass week, I know river flood stage is still very high and in the case of that, we will probably see a little bit of flooding around river areas. Like always, be careful on the roadways if when your heading out to work or school Thursday morning as roads will be slippery. So with tomorrow forecast, expect heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms in the area persisting for most of the day with highs in the upper 70s. Thursday night, watch for isolated showers with lows approaching the mid to upper 50s. Keep it here for Friday and I'll let you know how the weather outlook appears for the weekend and for the game against the Florida Gators. Enjoy the lovely weather for today and God bless!

Warming Trend

Starkville~

Goodmorning Everyone! We finally had a rain-free weekend due in part of dry, cool air coming from the north. Well, a cool start to your Monday as we got down to the lower 30s last night, but we'll start to warm up here in a little bit. Actually, we have a bit of a warming trend starting today as winds begin to shift from the northeast to the south. With this change in wind direction, it will impact our weather by giving us warmer and pleasant temps not just for today but for the rest of the week. So, for most of today we should see clear skies as highs approach the upper 60s under high pressure. Tonight, lows will be slightly warmer than last night with lower 40s and a clear night. Tuesday will be much warmer as that return flow out from the gulf will give us pleasant well into the mid 70s for most of today. When I say return flow, I basically mean southern air flowing from the south. For Tuesday, you can expect temperatures in the mid 40s. Now by Wednesday, things begin to change for us as models are anticipating a cold front to swing through. With this cold front, rain should return back into our forecast but keep it here at my weather blogspot and I'll tell you more about this upcoming front on Wednesday! In the meantime, go out and enjoy these fall temperatures and God bless!

Rain Free Weekend

Starkville~

Hello everyone! Well, another weekend is upon us and along with that there is NO RAIN in sight! Yep, exciting news right! It has certainly been awhile since we've actually saw a weekend in which the chances of rain were very slim. Its all due mainly because of cool, dry air from the north flowing into the south. If your anywhere outside currently, you can really tell the difference between yesterday's and today's temperatures as yesterday's temps were much warmer. Today's highs will struggle to even get up to the lower 60s, in which lower 60s were forcasted. Due to overcast conditions, the high will only get to 55 with winds out the northwest at 9mph. Even for tonight, cloudy conditions will still be heavy with temps being cool but not as cool if we had a clear night. Look for lows to be around 40. Tomorrow, will be similar to today in both conditions and temps with overcast skies still persisting and highs in the mid 50s. Despite the gloomy look for Saturday, I still see no rain in the area. As Saturday progresses, those clouds should start to clear out by the evening and night hours which make lows dip into upper 30s. Truly, this fall weather is making a grand entrance! Winds still out the northwest. Expect Sunday to be sunny and with the high finally getting out of the 50s and making it to 63. Now, as I have been saying throughout, winds will steady be coming out of the northwest though the weekend but as we go into next week, winds will shift from the northwest to the south; which we we see an increase in temps. I'll have more details on the start of this warming trend on Monday. Until then enjoy this rain free weekend! Also, I want to wish my friends Shellie and De, happy birthday and I hope you all have a great day! God Bless!

Tired of the rain yet?

Starkville~

Hi Everyone! Are you all as tired as I am of all the rain. We have certainly gotten alot of rain in the past weeks. A matter of fact just in the last day or so, we have receive anywhere b/w 2-4 inches of rain. With all of this rain it kind of got me thinking to myself, "I hope the Lord didn't forget about his promise to Noah."lol just kidding Well, heavy showers will continue tonight with a low of 65. Tomorrow, will basically be the same exact same conditions with showers in the afternoon and a high of 73. Tomorrow night, showers clear out leaving us with overcast skies. For thursday, be prepare for more showers as a front moves into our area by the early afternoon hrs. Highs should get to 72. Even though its been raining alot, don't let the weather conditions put you in a funk. The sun will come out again. Now, this weekend looks promising and we may see a rain free weekend. I'll have more on that included in your weekend forecast on Friday. God Bless!

Weekend Forecast Oct. 9 2009

Starkville~

Its Friday!!!! Once again the weekend is here for us to enjoy it! For some us its another weekend filled with football actions and for others its a time of relaxation from work and school. However, no matter what we do on the weekends, everything involves around the weather. So, for the most part for today, weather conditions will be nice with highs in the mid and upper 80s with partly cloudy skies. Now, as we continue to progress throughout today, those clouds will begin to thicken ahead of a cold front that should get here around the afternoon hrs. I'm forecasting it to get here b/w 3-6p.m. and with this front comes some showers and thunderstorms which could be severe. Expect rain to persist throughout the night with breaks here and there. Lows tonight will peak out at 58. Tomorrow morning, we'll still have chances of rain but by the afternoon, conditions should begin to clear out again. Look for highs only in the mid 60s. As you noticed, it will be much cooler tomorrow than today so prepare to feel the difference. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have your umbrella handy for most of the day if your going to any football games or tailgatings. As go throughout Saturday evening and into the night hours, scattered showers could play a role for any plans during those times with lows approaching 57. Highs for Sunday will get to 75 with a small chance of rain. Have a safe and relax weekend! God Bless!

Wednesday October 7

Starkville~

Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a great and safe fall break! I must say it definitely feels good coming back knowing that you only have three days of school until the weekend. Makes for a great week I'll say! Today, started off with lots of lightning and thundering early this morning roughly around 3:30. I should know because I was woken by one of the heavy boomers. Since then, currently, conditions are very quiet with cloudy skies becoming clearer by the minute. Observing the radar, we may still get one or two showers in before the peak of the afternoon hours. Temperatures will be on the cool side today as highs will only get up to 75 with partly cloudy skies for today. Tonight, most of the rain will be out of here leaving us with mostly cloudy conditions which will keep temps. mild at 61. Tomorrow, tempertures will be much warmer as highs get to the mid-80s partly due to the warmer winds shifting from the southeast which we call return flow from the gulf. Tomorrow night, will be warmer as well with a low of 72. We will have a front coming on Friday but I'll have more details on that as well as your weekend forecast. Have a great day and God bless!

Fall Break Forecast

Starkville~
Hi Everyone! Its Thursday once again and the day before Friday. We not only have the weekend off but also fall break is upon us as well making things even nicer. Now, the question is can these temperatures make our four days off even better? Looking at the radar now, I do see some band of showers and thunderstorms moving in our area and should arrive here in the early mornings between 2-4 Friday morning. The rain should still be here through the morning and clear out by the afternoon. Models show that after the rain, clouds begins to clear out leaving us with clear skies tomorrow and a high near 76. We should also see clear skies for those high school football games with a low of 45. Models guidance also show that this weekend looks to be a wonderful one with sunny skies accompany by a high of 76 for Saturday with calm winds making for some great football weather!! As MSU takes on Georgia Tech later that evening, temperatures will quickly drop down to a cool temperature of 50 degrees. Go Bulldawgs! Sunday, temperatures will be in the mid-70s with slight chances of rain in the morning and a better shot at getting showers in the evening. A low of 62 degrees with cloudy conditions for Sunday night. I won't get into fall break temperatures too much as most everyone will be out of town. Just in case you are in Starkvegas, look for temperatures to be around the mid to upper 70s with showers that may hit the area on Mon. or Tues. So, yes it looks like the weather will make for a very pleasant weekend as well as fall break. If your traveling out of town for fall break, have fun and be safe.
