Radar Trends

* We may need to talk to Josh and figure out why all the weather seems to happen on the weekends!!! Just kidding. Another weekend, more winter weather...

* Just checking out the radar to see what's going on. There is a band of rain falling across the highway 84 corridor with a few showers north of it. This is a chilly rain as the temperature in Meridian is 39 right now. Then there is a large gap in precipitation in Central Mississippi before more is found roughly along and north of a line from Grenada, MS to Aberdeen, MS. It looks like more precipitation is trying to fill in through the middle of the state -- a trend we'll watch closely. Light snow was reported in Vicksburg earlier.

* As Josh has mentioned, we don't think significant icing will occur overnight here. HOWEVER, some light and patchy freezing drizzle or freezing rain could occur overnight, as is represented in the Freezing Rain Advisory from I-20 northward in Mississippi. Bridges and overpasses look like the main concern here, with larger travel problems the further north you go. Of course, winter weather would be a great pitcher to have on your baseball team, because it seems to throw pitches you wouldn't expect late in the count. Thats why we'll be here all day long checking it out!! Stay tuned for our latest thinking and be sure to check previous posts throughout the day!
