A Plate Full of Weather...
* We weather people often complain about the stagnant weather patterns that are so prevalent during the summer. After all, it's hard to talk about "hot and humid with scattered thunderstorms" 3 times daily for 3 minutes. But, things are changing...* FRONT APPROACHES: A front is slicing through the southern Plains, and a pre-frontal band of thunderstorms is making steady progress towards the southeast. This complex of rain and thunderstorms will arrive here during the day tomorrow, when rain and thunderstorms are likely. This should be our most substantial and widespread rain in weeks, if not months.
* TROPICS: Tropical Storm Gordon has joined Hurricane Florence as the second named system currently taking up residence in the Atlantic Basin. Thankfully, neither of these systems are going to threaten the United States. However, Florence will likely become a very powerful extratropical low pressure system, and will bring some serious problems to shipping interests in the north Atlantic.
* 9/11 Anniversary: Be sure to visit our News Blog and leave your 9/11 remembrance and story. I, like you, will never forget that day. I was a sophomore at Mississippi State, and my roommate told me that something bad had happened at the World Trade Center.
Of course, we all know now that it wasn't a bomb or an accident, but a terrorist attack the likes of which our country had never seen. MSU played the first college football game after the attack, and there was a huge American flag held just over the field and a earth-shattering flyover. Pretty tremendous stuff...
