Twin States Weather Blog

* The weekend will continue to remain warm with highs reaching into the middle 80s and overnight lows into the 50s. The ridge will begin to move eastward over the weekend which will allow a system across Texas to slowly move Northeast and drag a weak front across the Twin States come Tuesday and Wednesday which may squeeze out a few showers Tuesday and Wednesday.

* Down the road the GFS continues to indicate a wet pattern setting up for the first week of April. Models show a system moving across Mississippi late Thursday and early Friday of next week. The long range models still show some activity around April 3rd and 6th as the Southeast transitions into a more zonal pattern.

* Burn bans remain in effect for Lauderdale, Clarke, Wayne and Jones County here in Mississippi and in West Alabama Choctaw and Clarke County. The city of Meridian and town of Marion also have burn bans as well.

* I'll have more on your forecast at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 and Ashley will have updates on the forecast over the weekend.
