Still looks like the best opportunity for storms this afternoon will remain west of U.S. Hwy 65, in Arkansas and Louisiana. Can’t completely rule out a few storms, sneaking into west Mississippi, but a pocket of warm air located between 3,000 ft and 6,500 ft off the surface should prevent storms from developing east of [...]

As the air warms today, humidity levels will decrease. The atmosphere also goes through a mixing process due to vertical movement or momentum of air, as [...]

Remember the Arctic Oscillaiton and North Atlantic Osciallaiton [...]

Greenville back up to 63.65′ at 3 am… Just talked to a friend at the NWS office in Jackson… He said they have every reason to believe it’s some type of malfunction on the gage due to the extremely high water levels… To be on the safe side, numerous agencies are out inspecting every nook [...]

I’m going to go ahead and address the falling water level, being reported by the Greenville gage. I’ve promised that we would be straight forward, & not withhold info, so I’m sticking to that promise. This is not a time to panic, but I do want to make sure you’re aware of the issue before [...]

We can give the “all-clear” to everyone, with the exception of the far eastern counties in Mississippi; generally everyone west of Miss Hwy 25, and U.S. Hwy 45. Improving weather over the weekend, as noticeably cooler air arrives; mid/low 70s on Saturday and Sunday, then a secondary shot of cool air moves in. We struggle [...]

The record for Greenville is 90, set in 1972; 91 in Greenwood, set in 1995… No doubt all eyes are on the mighty Mississippi… including ours. But don’t forget, we’re still in severe weather season and can’t afford to lose focus. Too [...]
