Severe Weather Threat Ends

* The threat of severe weather has ended, and much colder air has swept into much of our area. Meridian's Key Field is down to 55 degrees. I also note that Key Field saw a 15 degree temperature drop in 2 hours - pretty quick!

* Today still looks rather chilly. I'll be interested to see how our cloud cover works out. Forecasting cloud cover in a strong cold advection situation is one of the most troublesome challenges in our field. My feeling is that we do see plenty of stratus clouds early, followed by some gradual clearing late in the day. Obviously, any big changes to the cloud forecast would result in some changes to our temperature forecast. We'll stick with the gradual clearing idea and temperatures in the lower 50's.

* Very cold weather for tonight and tomorrow night. A hard freeze is likely across our entire area on both nights. In fact, the new NGM MOS spits out a low of 22 for Meridian Friday morning! BRRRR.
