Forecast for the week of January 31- February 3, 2012

Hey everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend seeing as it was completely beautiful out all weekend in the Starkville area with moderate temperatures between the 50's- 60's during the day. It was wonderful to have spring like weather in Mississippi. Unfortunately, this beautiful weather will not last much longer... check out your FOUR day forecast below! 


Here is Starkvilles FOUR day Forecast:
Tuesday: High of 67- Partial clouds- But sun is still shining
Tuesday Night: Low of 51- Rain will begin around midnight
Wednesday: High 65- Mainly raining during the afternoon- Cloudy throughout the day.
Wednesday Night: Low of 52- Rain and Thunderstorms most likely before midnight
Thursday: High of 66- Mostly SUNNY! 5-10 mph winds
Thursday Night: Low of 51- Cloudy
Friday: High of 69- There is a chance of thunderstorms and showers so beware of that. More info as we progress throughout the week.
Friday Night: Low of 51- Chances of rain still- Cloudy


Still cloudy and still a percent chance for rain on Saturday, but luckily Sunday looks like a pretty day- gorgeous sunny skies with some partial clouds in the area, and pretty low temperatures, but overall beautiful!

So recently my Uncle who lives in Northeast, Ohio- specifically Beloit, Ohio asked me to forecast his weather... and since I've decided this blog isn't just going to be Starkville weather... I thought I would give it a try... so here we go. Haha. 


Beloit, Ohio is located about 60 miles away from Cleveland, Ohio, which is close to Lake Erie. Beloit is not completely effected by Lake Erie, but you could see some effects from it here and there.
Right now though Beloit's wind is directed out of the South, which is bringing in some warm air, rather than their cool weekend they just saw.
Now back to the good news. Beloit will be warming throughout the next days, with some peaks of sunshine through Tuesday. Unfortunately, a cold front will come through that will cause not only their temperatures to go back down, but also will bring rain into their area on Tuesday night through Wednesday, ending by Wednesday night.
This front should move through fairly quickly, with the sunshine returning Thursday!


This is your FOUR day forecast for Beloit, OH:
Tuesday: High of 51- partly cloudy- mostly sunny
Tuesday Night: Low of 40- 70% chance of rain
Wednesday: High of 50- mostly rain throughout the day
Wednesday Night: Low of 30- mostly clouds
Thursday: High of 42- partly cloudy, but some sun streaming in
Thursday Night: Low of 26- BELOW freezing! Partly cloudy
Friday: High of 42- Partly sunny!
Friday Night: Low of 28- partly cloudy- Again below freezing!




I hope everyone has a great week! Enjoy the sun when you have it. Beware of the rain in everyones forecasts and prepare for your week ahead!

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.

Conditions for Janurary 18, 2012.

So today, just as expected, has been wet, humid, and warm. Don't you worry though. These conditions will move out tonight. Strong gusts of wind from the North West will come through the South East region leaving us with cooler temperatures and clear skies tomorrow. 


Just some facts about the 18th in 2000 and 2006:


January 18, 2000:
Max Temperature: 68 F
Min Temperature: 55.4 F
Precipitation: O inches


This tells us that they were having a pretty warm day for January like we did today minus the rain.


January 18, 2006:
Max Temperature: 62.6 F
Min Temperature: 30.2 F
Precipitation: .77 inches


Again the same temperature that we experienced today, we experienced in 2006. The min also tells you that most likely through the night the weather took a turn for cooler weather.


But anyways just a little fun facts to look at our past, seeing the similarities between our weather now and a few years ago.


For tomorrows weather here in Starkville, Mississippi:
WINDY- moving that gloomy weather we've been experiencing to the East of us and bringing in that cooler weather to the North of us. 
LOTS OF SUNSHINE!
A maximum temperature of 47 F and a minimum temperature of 29 F!


I hope everyone is having an amazing Tuesday despite the dark wet weather outside! Stay tuned for some more upcoming weather updates!

Starkvegas Wx.

FIRST blog post! First time to write a weather discussion for Starkville, Mississippi.


Recently through our lovely town of Starkville we have finally been having traditional January weather trends. Last week we started off on Monday through Wednesday of non-stop drizzle as gloomy clouds filled the sky along with a huge front bringing in cold temperatures from Canada. This week... is not that different in the aspect of rain. Overnight we will start to see some showers that will continue throughout Tuesday (being the worst day for showers and also high temperatures) and long into the night and then will finally drift off and end on Wednesday. There will continue to be normal cool temperatures for January after Tuesday seeing as we will drop from a high of 71 degrees to 47 degrees on Wednesday.  Our temperature will rise after Wednesday as we make our way to the weekend, bringing along more clouds and rain to create a wet Friday. 


This month is definitely the month of gloomy skies and continuous showers. We will see what the next few weeks will bring to us in the following days. 


Here is your 4 day forecast for Starkville, Mississippi:
Tuesday: high of 72 degrees; 70 percent rain
Tuesday night: low 31 degrees; 40 percent rain
Wednesday: high of 47
Wednesday night: low of 27 degrees
Thursday: high 56 degrees
Thursday night: low 37 degrees; clouds start coming in
Friday: high 57 degrees; 40 percent rain
Friday night: low 46 degrees; 50 percent rain


I hope you all have a wonderful week despite the rain that is coming! Come back here for updates for Starkville, but I will also be doing other locations or random fun facts, but every time I will give the forecast for the upcoming days in Starkville, since that is where I am living currently!
