April 23, 2012- April 27,2013

Beautiful weather this week for Starkville, Mississippi- temperatures are moderately low though with cold temperatures moving in from the Northern part of Mississippi. We are going to warm up as we head through the week.

These are surface temperatures- and also the winds are shown.  You can see the prevalent wind coming from the North.

On the two day out look the winds change and start heading out of the South. This will bring us warmer temperatures as we head into the rest of the week.  This map is for WEDNESDAY. Wednesday our temperature will be a HIGH of: 82! So a beautiful day in store.

The image below shows moisture content throughout the United States. We are particularly dry today as you step outside you can tell this. Also much cooler. You can tell where that dry air is pushing into our area. There is a pronounced trough sitting over us.

The trough is well shown on the GFS vorticity model below.

The trough is over the North East and a large ridge has set up to our West.  This is allowing for our cooler temperatures and our strong winds throughout Mississippi today.

This week looks like a pretty good set up.  Today I believe will be the most we will see rain and or thunderstorm chances.  As we head into the night the possibility decreases as a high sets up above Mississippi and Tennessee, brining in cooler and drier temperatures throughout the northern part of Mississippi.  The next frontal passage looks like it will come through around Friday, but only to bring us partial clouds.
