Twin States Weather Blog

* Good afternoon everyone. I noticed this afternoon that my access to the blog server at work is no longer locked out (for now) so I thought I would drop a blog entry here for everyone.

* Good mass of rain and embedded thunderstorms continues across East Mississippi and West Alabama and will continue to move eastward this afternoon and evening. Another round of rain and storms will come back later tonight and during the day tomorrow.

* We sit in a zonal pattern (west to east flow) here across the Southeast and this allows these shortwave impulses to move across the Twin States and bring rain and thunderstorms. A strong trough and cold front will affect the area late Friday night and Saturday morning. We'll have to watch for the possibility of severe weather during that time period but early looks seem to favor the more organized severe weather event off to our west across the Delta.

* The radar on wtok.com/weather is not updating again. This is on the radar software providers end and not ours. So for a radar check please link to the following:
