Anchoring The Weather: Forecast for the week of January 24, 2012- January

Hey everyone! I hope you all were safe last night and took as many precautions as possible. There was some crazy weather that took place last night if you are not from the Southern region up to Illinois/ Indiana South region you probably did not hear much about it. The Storm Prediction Center posted updated this morning a map of where the tornados, strong winds, and hail were present across the region.

That is a picture of what happened last night and the storm reports from spotters and chasers. It was server weather and I hope everyone did as their News Station suggested to them.

As for this coming week here in Starkville, Mississippi, there will be some showers this week, predicted to start tomorrow night Tuesday, January 24th- Thursday, January 26th. The rain will then clear up on Friday, but will leave us with partial cloudy skies. This is due to a low pressure system that is headed our way that has developed showers in front of it because of all of the moist warm are we've been having. Behind it though will be drier air that'll clear up our area giving us cooler clear skies on Friday afternoon!

Here is your FOUR day forecast:

Tuesday: 63 degrees- with increasing clouds throughout the day.
Tuesday night: 47 degrees- 70% chance of rain.
Wednesday: 62 degrees- 50% chance of rain.
Wednesday night: 57%- 80% chance of rain.
Thursday: 66 degrees- 90% chance of rain.- THUNDERSTORMS
Thursday night: 42 degrees- 30% chance of rain.
Friday: 58 degrees- mostly sunny- some clouds, but few.
Friday night: 38 degrees- clear.

Here are some photos of my weekend at the American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. We had a great time, learned some new things, and toured around NOLA.
