Good afternoon everyone and welcome to your Monday edition of your Face of the Sky forecast. Another warm and sunny day again with temperatures in the upper 70s at this current moment and we are only in the beginning hours of the afternoon. It's going to be a very humid day as well with dewpoints continuing to rise. Don't expect any rain today though. Winds out of the south are keeping temperatures quite warm for us.

What's Happening Atmospherically
Lots of warm air advection in the southern region being shown by 850mb. With high pressure being southeast of us, this is really going to allow for plenty of warm air to flow from the Gulf of Mexico allowing for temperatures to be well above normal around this time of year. With this warm and moist airmass in place, we will see temperatures in the mid 80s for the first part of the week. We will soon begin to see changes in our weather as a cold front swings by on Wednesday bringing a round of showers and thunderstorms as well as cooler conditions.

Today
We had a deck of low stratus clouds this morning but most of the clouds has cleared up leaving nothing but clear and sunny skies. With warm moist air coming from the Gulf, it will make for a rather humid day with highs in the mid 80s.
Even by tonight, lows will only fall to the upper 50s making for quite a warm night. It may be time to break out the air conditioner or fan as tonight makes for a warm night. Winds still out of the south at 5mph.

Tuesday outlook
Tuesday will look similiar to today with maybe a few more clouds in the sky making for a mostly sunny day. You can expect highs to be in the 80s once again. Your next chance of showers should come by Wednesday evening. Thanks for viewing your Face of the Sky forecast! Have a great day and God bless!





Go Duke!

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!
