When Will The Rain End?

Man, we have had some changes take place in Starkville this week. First of all, we got a decent amount of rain earlier in the week that really helped out with the current drought situation. Secondly, we got some much cooler weather to push into the area. This colder weather is all thanks to an upper level Low Pressure system that is currently situated in the northeastern part of the state. This thing got cut off from the jet stream and really lost its driving force, so for the past several days, it has just been drifting around the northern part of the state. Because of this, high temperatures over the past several days have really struggled to break the 50 degree mark, and we have also been left with lingering off-and-on showers/drizzle that have really made for a very dreary couple of days. We are looking for these showers to continue overnight tonight, but we finally get rid of them tomorrow and may actually see a few peaks of sunshine. How about that!?! That's something I'm really looking forward to. And guess what.....the further down the road we look, the better the forecast looks for our area. The weekend looks like we will get all those clouds and showers to clear out of here and actually start to warm up nicely with highs getting into the lower 70's and lows remaining in the mid to upper 40's. After a week like we've seen, I think the weekend is gonna feel GREAT!! So once again, try to get out and enjoy the pleasant weather this weekend!
