Friday Rain, Cooler Weekend

Friday Evening Rain & Storms

Friday Afternoon

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear and quiet conditions hold firm.  Temperatures should only dip down to around 50°.

FRIDAY:  Highs are expected to be in the 70s again in most areas.  A cold front will push across the area during the afternoon and evening with much cooler 50s and 40s surging in during the evening.  The front will give us a pretty good chance for showers and perhaps evening a few storms.  At this point we don’t envision any strong or severe activity in our area.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Clouds and cold rain showers will linger as temperatures continue to cool into the 40s and 30s.

SATURDAY:  A few showers and a band of clouds may be present southeast of the Natchez Trace during the first half of the morning but a nice clearing trend is going to occur everywhere as the day unfolds.  Highs may only top out in the mid 50s and a NW winds is going to make it feel even cooler.  Suffice to say you’ll need a coat in Oxford for the Ole Miss game that kicks off at 11 a.m.

SATURDAY NIGHT:  A widespread frost or freeze is looking more likely with expected lows in the low 30s.  You’ll definitely need to protect your plants.

SUNDAY:  Nearly wall-to-wall sunshine is going to allow for a pretty nice day but highs will struggle up to around 60°.  Another frost or freeze is possible Sunday night.

NEXT WEEK:  Conditions are going to moderate for Halloween and early November.  Some showers are possible by Wednesday & Thursday.
