Twin States Weather Blog

3:30 AM Update:

* Mass of rain and some embedded thunderstorms continue to move across Eastern and Southeastern Mississippi and across Western and Southwestern Alabama. I am loving this heavy rain... just as I am sure many of us do! Its good sleeping weather except for us meteorologist who have the AM shift...lol!

* As of 3:00 AM..... Key Field sits at 1.84" storm total on rainfall since Wednesday evening. NAS Meridian's McCain Field sits at 1.05" since Wednesday evening. This is exactly what we needed and thankfully the skies have opened up. We still need a lot more to help the drought and we go back into a dry pattern once this rain event ends.

* Be careful on the roads this morning as there is ponding water on the roads and streets. Here in Meridian there is quite a bit of ponded water on streets downtown... at least there was when I came in a little after 1:00 this morning.

* Tornado Watch still in effect for Wayne, Choctaw and Clarke, Ala. until 8:00 AM. There have been no warnings at all except down around New Orleans. I expect the watch to be cancelled here in a while for those counties.

* About to start looking over the model data and get my forecast package together for the morning shift... will have more on the forecast a bit later!
