Winds are Howling
* The winds are really howling this afternoon! The last observation from Key Field has the wind sustained at 22mph with gusts to 32 mph. Pretty breezy stuff. Around the Southeast, the story is the same...Many locations seeing winds at 15-25 mph with gusts to 25-35mph.* Just received a note from the National Weather Service in Birmingham:
Please mention all outdoor burning is discouraged due to breezy conditions expected through tomorrow. Although no official ban is in place...the Alabama Forestry Commission recommends extreme caution and discourages burning at all.
* Weekend looks great, lots of sunshine. Our next chance of rain comes Sunday night. A better chance of rain and thunderstorms will come Wednesday into Thursday. There could be some threat of severe weather with this, we'll continue to monitor that through the weekend.
* I'm going to get back to my lunch and watching the Ole Miss - Alabama basketball game. It's a slow go right now, 12-11 Ole Miss lead with 10:17 left in the first half.

Is it ok to burn fires in NW Mississippi? If not, that sort of puts a damper on my weekend plans.
