Rain on the Way

* It is looking more like we will see a rainy period or two during the Memorial Day Weekend. I know that's not what most people want to hear, but we really could use the rain. We still have a 3" rainfall deficit for the month of May.

The weather pattern for the next 4-7 days will be rather unsettled. A front will approach by the weekend, bringing showers and thunderstorms with it. The best chance of rain will come on Saturday. We should have a dry period sometime around the Saturday night/Sunday morning time frame. Then, more rain is possible late Sunday and into Monday. Keep in mind that this is a very rough estimate and will change between now and the weekend. The best course of action is to check back here and at the WTOK Weather page for our latest thinking!

* FAVORITES: As we get into summertime, I'm going to start a new feature each Wednesday afternoon: a list of favorites of the moment. Just a light look at what I'm enjoying at the moment. Leave a comment with your favorites of the week and I'll publish them on the blog.

Favorite song of the moment: Heartbreaker, Led Zeppelin
Favorite food of the moment: Brick Pit BBQ in Mobile, Alabama -- great stuff!
Favorite vacation spot of the moment: Longboat Key, Florida -- near Sarasota

* Hurricane Awareness Week in Mississippi kicks off next week. The National Hurricane Awareness Week was last week. During the next week, I'll post a lot of GREAT information about how you can be prepared for what's shaping up to be an active tropical season!
