Good afternoon everyone and a happy Friday to you all! Once again we have approach another weekend. I don't know about you all but I really felt tired and lazy this week. Something about coming back after Spring Break that makes one tired for some reason. Also, I can tell that "senoritis" has set in as well, but I still have to stay focused. Right now in the Starkville area, we are overlooking cloudy skies after a passing front on yesterday. Temperatures are in the upper 40s now, so a little on the cool side and breezy conditions are making things even cooler.

What's Happening
850 mb shows some cold air advection in the area which the reason for the coolness in the air. The clouds are lingering from a low pressure system that pass through the region yesterday morning. On the water vapor imagery, dry air will soon start to pour in later today and by then those thick stratus clouds should be gone out of the area. Even as we speak, the very western edge of Mississippi is seeing a break in the clouds. Temperatures are higher there as well, so we should be getting warmer here as soon as those clouds begin to lift.

Today
Don't think that those clouds will continue to linger throughout the day. Sunny and milder temperatures are coming to give us a pleasant afternoon. Temperatures will end up in the lower 60s with winds out of the northeast at 10mph. So, today will be on the cool today with windy conditions but it will be great to have the sun out to start us off on our weekend. Tonight, looks to be mostly clear which will allow for us to see some stars out tonight as well as make it a rather chilly night. You might want to have a light jacket on as temperatures fall to the lower 40s. By the night, winds should be out of the east.

Weekend outlook
A jekyll and hyde type of weekend and please let me explain. Saturday would be more like Dr. Jekyll with beautiful conditions and with lots of sun out. This is due to warm air advection accompany by dry condition. Saturday would be one of those days to go fishing. Now, I would compare Sunday to Mr. Hyde in that another round of showers with a passing of a cold front is expected early Sunday morning producing possible thunderstorms. I don't expect the rain to stay all the day and should be completely out of here by the time you get out of church. I do think Sunday will be much cooler than Saturday with low stratus clouds. Enjoy the weekend and may God continue to bless you!
