Late Saturday Update

* Big thanks to Josh Johnson for dinner tonight at the Shorewood Inn in Neshoba County. A little expensive, but well worth it; an excellent buffet!

* Josh posted earlier today about the rain chances coming up. Not much change in the thinking since then. I sure get the feeling that we will end the holiday weekend on a wet note, so that is not good news to those with outdoor plans. It is good news however, for those that need the rainfall, and I am sure we all could use some. Looks like we are almost 4 inches below normal for May.

* It also looks that there may be a few strong storms involved Monday, and if that is the case we could be talking about lightning and wind dangers. Remember, if you are outside and hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning! Stay tuned to the Blog and to WTOK and we will try to be more specific on the forecast as we approach Monday.

* I get the idea that the unsettled weather might stick around Tuesday as well, with stray showers still possible on Wednesday. Even later in the week, I think we will see more clouds than sun, with temperatures right around average for late May/early June.

* Officially, the first day of hurricane season is Wednesday. No active weather to talk about in the Atlantic, Gulf, or Carribbean at this time, though sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are extremely warm.. in the upper 80s!
