I apologize for the very sporadic blogposts of late, life has been crazy. Thankfully the weather around Starkville is not quite so ridiculous. All of Starkville is looking forward to the weekend with Super Bulldog Weekend, but some in Starkville have events to attend to before that, Honors Orientation. The weather is going to make both events quite interesting.
Honors Orientation begins tonight at 5pm, and we can expect some nice conditions to kick off the event, winds will be light and southerly to southeasterly with temperatures right around 70 for the evening. Thankfully, a short wave is staying well to our north in Wisconsin for the duration of the evening. Unfortunately, as the high schoolers wake up and get ready for the full day of orientation, a cold front will be approaching, early in the morning it will be sitting to our north and west, draped from Illinois down through Missouri and Arkansas and back into Texas. Temperatures will most certainly be warm since we will still be in the warm sector on Friday afternoon, mid-upper 70s can be expected across the area just before the cold front arrives on Friday evening, just in time for the baseball game against Tennessee. Most of the rain appears to be lagging behind the cold front, and so rain may not reach the area until 9 or even after midnight. Behind this rain will be some cooler air, expect highs on Saturday to not even make it to 70, so if you are planning to go to the Spring Game and see Sugarland afterwards, be prepared for cool temps and a northwesterly wind which will continue to bring in the cool air. The rain looks to remain out of Northern Mississippi as a whole Saturday evening, so there is hope of not having a washout for the game and concert.
While there is weather threatening the events of this weekend, things are looking good for a successful weekend of events, from orientation, to baseball, to football, to a country music concert and the Starkville Arts Festival this weekend as well. Keep the rain jacket or umbrella handy this weekend, but things will not be a complete washout like Tuesday was of this week.

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!
