Spring has Sprung

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!
