Scattered Showers Today, Clearing Out Mid-Week

Feb 12, 2024

Overcast and dreary to start off the next work week! Heavy cloud coverage will stick around for the remainder of the day. Scattered showers and a few storms are likely through the day as an area of low pressure makes its way across northern Mississippi. It will be slightly cooler today with temperatures ranging from the mid 50s to low 60s across the region this afternoon. Winds will quickly begin to pick up as we head into the afternoon and evening hours, so expect a breezy evening. Wind gusts could possibly exceed 20-25 mph at times. Heading into the overnight hours, clouds will linger until just after midnight tonight. We’ll see a drop in temperatures starting tonight with overnight lows in the middle to upper 30s. Drier days ahead! As the showers and storms clear out of the area by early Tuesday, high pressure builds into the region to give us much nicer weather for the next few days. Cooler conditions are expected for our Tuesday with highs only reaching the mid 50s for the afternoon. Chilly mornings continue through Thursday with morning temperatures in the mid 30s. Temperatures return to the 60s for the next few days with plenty of sunshine, so pleasant conditions for any outdoor plans you have! Looking ahead to the end of the work week, we have our next system making its way into northern Mississippi. A southwesterly flow allows for more moisture and instability which will help to increase rain chances for Friday and Saturday. There will be a steady increase in cloud coverage throughout the day on our Friday that will bring additional showers for Friday night into Saturday. As of right now, rain totals do not look as impressive as this past weekend’s. Things will dry out by Sunday to give us mostly sunny skies and a pleasant afternoon. Colder air is expected to move in for Saturday evening and Sunday, so be prepared for a chilly start as you step out the door Sunday morning. Temperatures will be more seasonal heading into the beginning of the next work week with highs in the mid 50s and lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Campus...
