Across much of the eastern half of the country things have warmed up considerably since we last spoke, and these warm temperatures have spread across the rest of the nation except the northwest corner of the US.
This huge warm up last week left many in the South sneezing as the trees are now pollenating. This is the current map of pollen counts across the country.
Mississippi is lower only because over the past 48 hours over 5 inches of rain has fallen in some areas of Mississippi. This rain is slowly clearing out of Mississippi and the front itself should be making its way through tomorrow during the day. The front is still stalled out over east Texas. The whole system will very slowly lift out of Texas, move through Arkansas and into Tennessee and Kentucky. I anticipate the low to have an influence on us here in Mississippi til Sunday evening, when it finally reaches South Carolina. Things will begin to clear out on Saturday and hopefully dry out as well. Temperatures will bounce back into the 70s on Saturday. I doubt we will hit 80 until Tuesday or Wednesday and by then, there looks to be another system that will be affecting our weather here in Mississippi. I hope this general look at the weather from earlier this week and a peek into next week was insightful and helpful!

Spring Break Mode: Colorado
Only two days til spring break begins, and I am so ready for it to be here! In honor of my departure for a week to Fort Collins, Colorado for spring break.
Once we get there, things are looking fairly nice for Northern Colorado in early-mid March. There will be a low developing the lee of the Rockies on Sunday-Tuesday in Southeast Colorado. This low will remain east and/or south of Fort Collins, keeping myself and our group in an area of NVA(DIV) sinking air. Clear skies are anticipated through Tuesday night. Clouds appear to be pushing into the area Wednesday morning into afternoon. These clouds will be fleeting and Northern Colorado is going to continue to have wonderful weather through the entire week. The closest threat of poor weather looks to develop off the California coast with a deep trough on Thursday. Thankfully this system will not make it to Colorado until Friday at the earliest, by which point we will all be on the road, or even back home in Starkville. Due to the sunny skies, I anticipate slightly warmer highs than usual, but the lows to remain average.
Saturday: Sunny, 54 F.
Sunday: Sunny, 63 F.
Monday: Sunny, 67 F.
Tuesday: Sunny, 65 F.
Wednesday: Partly Cloudy, 64 F.
Thursday: Mostly Cloudy, 59 F.
