Winter Mischief?
* Updated forecast to raise rain chances Sunday!* Had a great time visiting with the kids at Neshoba Central Elementary School. The teachers, students and staff were all very pleasant, and Charles and I appreciate the opportunity to present our weather program! If you are interested in us doing a program at YOUR school, drop me an e-mail at josh.johnson@wtok.com!
* Still watching showers moving east along the Mississippi River. I believe most of the rain will dry up before reaching us, but we'll probably see a few isolated showers and patchy drizzle this evening. Best chance of rain along and south of I-20.
* Saturday looks mostly dry, with a few high clouds. A few showers out there on Sunday. Still get the idea that we will turn much colder on Monday and into Tuesday. We'll probably spend much of Tuesday in the 40's!
* VERY interesting possibilities shaping up for next week. The European computer model is showing a low developing in the northern Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, with Arctic air sliding southward.
Although this is a snow setup for the South, many questions regarding the exact details remain. How far south will the cold air make it? How far north will the moisture make it? The answers to these questions will determine the extent of any winter storm threat. As we talked about Friday, the overall pattern is one that favors a winter storm threat across the Southeast.
The GFS model shows only rain late next week, with the cold air lagging behind. Interestingly, the GFS hints at a later winter storm threat, somewhere in the March 5-9 time frame. Speculation and discussion of these possibilities will headline this space over the next several days. Stay tuned!
