Spring Has Not Sprung!

Yesterday's forecast headline has been emphatically answered. The strong cold front pushed through just after 3 a.m. and has since dropped temperatures to 40. Rain associated with the front fell early this morning, but rain may be around through the late morning hours. Radars show that we'll have to contend with another batch of light rain that is moving through Western and Central Mississippi. In fact, some of this precipitation is frozen in parts of the Delta and Northern Mississippi. Upper level moisture dries out before our temperature profile would support any type of wintry weather so we should escape any frozen precipitation. Regardless, it's still going to be a cold rain. Low clouds will dominate the sky cover today, and temperatures may continue to fall into the upper 30s this morning before briefly hitting 43 this afternoon. Skies will begin to clear tonight and we should drop to 28 in the morning. Be careful if you have any travels north and west today.
