Starkville, MS Weather..

Well it turned out that a 1/2 inch of rain verified very well for us in Starkville...  The top of Hilbun Hall on the campus of Mississippi State University got .45" for the event...  With the complex of thunderstorms to our south blocking our inflow you could tell that the NAM's QPF was overdone...  Also the radar trends seemed to also show this well...  It just goes to show you that living in a place and seeing trends over the years is very important in forecasting...  No skill just experience... 

Right now it is a little chilly outside with a temperature of 45 degrees...  The official NWS forecast is 44 tonight which would make you think it's way off since it's already 45 degrees...  It may get down to 42 or so but I doubt it will get much lower with all the moisture in the ground...  Because of the 1/2 inch of rain we had the soil moisture will keep our dewpoints up tonight...  Tomorrow we should get to near 70 which will feel great!  Perfect day to grill out and watch some college football...  With a sunny clear day tomorrow, most of the moisture from our rain event should evaporate...  Because of this tomorrow night I feel like the upper 30's is very possible...  The official NWS forecast is for 41 degrees but I feel like we will get to 39 or so...  We will see....
