Sunday Afternoon Update
* Greetings from Mobile, Alabama...I've been watching a bit of the NFL playoff game today between the Steelers and the Broncos. So far, the Steelers are in control of the game. But, enough of the sports chatter; we'll leave that to Lindsey and Heather.* A band of thunderstorms has developed across central Mississippi. This line runs roughly from northernmost Rankin County back southward towards McComb. Some of these thunderstorms have warranted severe thunderstorm warnings this afternoon.
* I note that dewpoint values have risen into the 60's. Temperatures are in the 70's. This will lead to a more unstable airmass. With that in mind, we'll amend the forecast to include a slight risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. But, we still do not think this is going to be a very widespread event. The main threat will be isolated reports of hail or gusty damaging winds. We can't rule out a tornado, but the threat sure doesn't look that significant.
* Still, this is a good afternoon to stay close to a good source of weather info (NOAA Weather Radio, WTOK, WMOX, our Wireless Weather product) Hope you are enjoying the weekend...
