Busy Day...
* I had a GREAT time visiting with my friends at T.J. Harris Elementary School in Meridian this morning. We had a really wonderful time, and I was fortunate enough to hear their MCT rap - a song they perform about a standardized test they must take.* After that, the afternoon was pretty quiet. Our weather today was pretty simple - mostly sunny and warm. We'll see more of the same tomorrow and Thursday, but we will be a few degrees warmer. Highs either afternoon could conceivably reach 90 degrees, especially along and south of Interstate 20.
* It's been really interesting reading the chase accounts from Renny Vandewege of MSU and other groups out on the Plains. Thanks to everyone who has participated in getting the word out about what our local universities are doing in Tornado Alley!
* A quick note: The National Weather Service will be conducting several tests with their flood watches and warnings tomorrow. So, if you receive a statement saying a flood watch or warning has been issued, it's a test. In fact, we are much closer to a drought than a flood - Meridian has managed only 0.02" of rain so far this month. That is close to 3 inches below normal.
* Speaking of rain: We'll probably get some late Friday afternoon into Friday night. A deep upper low will cutoff northwest of here, and lobes of energy called shortwaves will rotate around it. These shortwaves often cause rising air - which interacts with moisture to create rain. We'll probably see some rain late Friday, with lingering showers and perhaps a thunderstorm through Saturday. Rain chances begin to diminish by Sunday and into early next week.
