Dry Weather Signs...
* Our videographer Christian Monsour brought this to my attention and thought I would share. I got use to this in West Texas but strange to see them mentioned in Mississippi. Just a sign of how dry the entire state is right now, not just here in our area....NUMEROUS DUST DEVILS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
DELTA THIS AFTERNOON...
DUE TO THE VERY DRY AND WARM WEATHER WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED COMBINING WITH NUMEROUS FARMERS
PLOWING THERE FIELDS DUST DEVILS HAVE BEEN
PROMINENT ACROSS THE DELTA TODAY. THE PLOWING
OF FIELDS AND LACK OF RAIN HAVE MADE FOR VERY
DRY AND LOOSE SOIL. AS PARCELS GET WARMER THAN
THE SURROUNDING AIR IT BEGINS TO RISE. AS THESE
AIR PARCELS RISE THEY BEGIN TO ROTATE THUS PICKING
UP SOME OF THIS LOOSE SOIL...AND BAM YOU HAVE A
DUST DEVIL. THIS COULD BE THE CASE OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS AS WE EXPECTING TO GET EVEN WARMER WITH NO
RAIN EXPECTED UNTIL LATE THIS WEEKEND OR EVEN NEXT
WEEK.
THERE ARE NO SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH THESE AS THE
WINDS ARE LIKELY LESS THAN 25 MPH. THE ONLY PROBLEM
COULD BE TO MOTORISTS WHERE THEY MIGHT CROSS ROADS
AND VERY BRIEFLY LOWER VISIBILITIES.
