Easter Eggs or Fried Eggs?

I apologize for the long interval between blogs, things have been crazy here at Mississippi State. But we are back on track now! You may be wondering about the title to this post, well Easter egg makes sense since Easter is Sunday. However, I'm sure many of you are wondering about the fried egg part. Allow me to enlighten you.

As many you know, a common saying for how hot it is outside is "It's so hot you can fried eggs in the sunshine"or something along those same lines. Well, here at Mississippi State, things have heated up considerably and while it may not have gotten to fried egg status just yet, people are already worried about how hot the summer will be. Let me put some of those fears to rest, current forecasts are for the temperatures this summer to be about average for Mississippi, as well as precipitation. Furthermore, we are looking at a possible cool down this weekend as we head into Easter. Some predictions even have 40s for lows Monday morning!

Mississippi and the Deep South as a whole have been under some sticky weather as of late; hot, humid and sunny skies have established themselves over the region. The storms that went through the Dallas-Fort Worth area yesterday are a part of a low pressure system that is slowly making its way across the Plains and headed for the South. With it, we can anticipate drier and cooler air to slide in behind it. Current models are indicating the system and its associated cold front to come through sometime on Friday. This will give us here in Mississippi relief from the threat of storms every afternoon and evening, which we have dealt with since Monday afternoon.

Easter is looking like a great time to get out with family and friends, search for some Easter eggs, and to remember why we celebrate Easter, because Christ has risen!
