Twin States Weather Blog

* Short chat this morning here on the blog as I am having computer issues with our weather graphics system this morning... so that is top issue right now for our pc tech at WTOK and I right now...

* High pressure will dominate the forecast through early next week and as you can see from the graphic loaded, this is keeping the jet stream and storm track off to our west and to our north. The high will shift eastward by early next week and my the middle of the week a storm system will take shape to west and move across the Twin States by Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Long range models (mostly the GFS that I have looked at this morning) hint we could see some strong to severe storms with this system. I did like the fact the model was painting 1.00" + rain chances for the area. Rob will have more on next weeks rain chances over the weekend here on the blog and Newscenter 11 and Trent and I next week. (We're getting Trent set up to blog on here soon...)

* Quick note that the NWS Jackson will be in Meridian this Monday at 7:00PM for a SKYWARN Storm Spotter Class at the Lauderdale Co. Emergency Management Office (LEMA). If you know where the Central Fire Station for Meridian is on the hill... the LEMA office is just across the street from the fire station.

* Have a good weekend...
