Thursday Thoughts
* First, time for some odds and ends on our 11 1-Liners segment. More ODDS than ends... There is a lot of WINTRY weather going on today:11 1-Liners for Thursday
- A few fluries fell this afternoon on the campus of Miss. State.
- The temperature was in the middle 40's.
- Once the snow began, temps fell into the 30's.
- This was possible due to evaporational cooling.
- Snow at these temps is very rare.
- We expect no flurries here. Maybe a sprinkle.
- Heavy Snow Warnings are in effect for the Smokies.
- 4-6 inches of snow is expected there.
- A Freeze Warning is in effect for areas north of I20 tonight.
- Be sure to bring in any tender plants.
- Widespread frost is likely; temps in the 20's are possible.
* The weekend looks nice - plenty of sunshine, but cool. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will likely struggle to reach the middle 60's after cold mornings both days.
* Our next chance of rain comes Tuesday, but it doesn't seem like a big deal at this point. A few showers are possible, but this system will not bother us with any severe weather problems.
* NEW GOODIES: My new laptop has arrived! This is going to allow me to introduce some new forecast content to this space. I will begin producing a daily video discussion that will get into the "nuts and bolts" that go into our forecast. This discussion will be a "vodcast" - video podcast. For those of you who own video IPods, these videos will be compatible with those. Additionally, we will begin producing audio podcasts - a brief audio forecast playable on standard IPods. It will take a few days for me to get the necessary software, so be watching this space for updates on these new products!
