The latest from the NWS office in Jackson MS regarding the intense cold in the Deep South this weekend:
QUOTE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 154 PM CST FRI FEB 10 2012 ...VERY COLD WEEKEND IN STORE AS ARCTIC AIR MASS ARRIVES... A COLD FRONT WILL USHER AN ARCTIC AIR MASS INTO THE REGION THIS EVENING THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER TEMPERATURES FOR THE ARKLAMISS REGION. THE RECENT WARM SPELL HAS MAINTAINED AVERAGE DAILY TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS FREQUENTLY IN THE 60S AND 70S OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO. HOWEVER A DRAMATIC DEPARTURE IN TEMPERATURES IS IN STORE BEGINNING TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LOCATIONS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE WILL SEE LOWS DROP BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT WITH READINGS OVER NORTHWEST ZONES PLUMMETING INTO THE MID 20S. STRONG NORTH WIND WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT AND INCREASING WIND SPEEDS WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILLS FROM 10 TO 15 DEGREES OVER NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. DURING THE DAY SATURDAY THE COMBINATION OF ARCTIC AIR AND NORTH WIND SPEEDS FROM 15 TO 25 MPH...WITH FREQUENT HIGHER GUSTS...WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES RELATIVELY COLD WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID 30S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE MID TO UPPER 40S IN THE SOUTHEAST. WIND SPEEDS WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE SATURDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO COOL QUICKLY AND DROP INTO THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S ACROSS THE AREA BY SUNRISE SUNDAY. PERSONS PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THIS WEEKEND SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER TEMPERATURES THAN WE HAVE SEEN RECENTLY AND GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS. ACTIONS MAY BE NEEDED TO PROTECT PLANTS THAT MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE COLD. -------------------- "Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; to satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen."
-Job 38:25-30 |
