Warming On The Way - But Old Man Winter Hasn't Left Yet!

Good Morning!

Not a whole lot of change to report on regarding previous posts for the weather this week.  Instead of a detailed deep dive, we'll just run down the highlights and then set you up with a forecast:


  • The snow from last night and today so far isn't verifying as intensely as was forecast.  There's just a few pockets of light snowfall here and there, with flurries elsewhere.  Apparently the model solutions were a bit fast, and possibly a bit aggressive regarding snowfall totals.  The air columns still are set up right for an inch or two of snow, but we'll just have to wait it out and see what comes as the day progresses.
  • We switch to a clear and cold motif after this disturbance works through.  Temperatures will be more seasonable for the dead of winter than almost a week into spring.  The bomb off the New England coast will be the dominant map feature for the next couple of days, with Hurricane Force Wind Warnings up for the Atlantic waters off New England.
  • Thursday, we see some warming and our next system rolling in.  Temperatures climb into the 40's, and that air setup opens the door for all modes of precipitation initially, switching to showers and maybe a thunderstorm from late Thursday on into the weekend.  Readings will finally be seasonable, at least for awhile.
  • Early next week, we switch back to colder weather - this doesn't look too wintry, but you won't want to put away the winter hats and such just yet.  You should be able to thin down a layer during the day though, and even at night, readings shouldn't get into the lower 20's or colder as they have this week.
Here's the forecast for Jackson and vicinity

Today - mainly cloudy, a few peeks of sunshine, snow anywhere from a dusting to an inch possible throughout the area, high 27, wind NW 5-10 MPH will keep wind chills down in the teens or lower 20's.

Tonight - clearing skies and very cold, temperature down to 6.  Winds WNW 3-6 MPH will push wind chill values down to near zero.

Hump Day - Mainly sunny with some passing clouds, a touch warmer, high 31.  Wind turning S 5-10 MPH, wind chills will stay in the low to mid 20's accordingly.

Tomorrow Night - clouds increase, not as cold, lows roll back to 24, wind S 5-10 MPH.

Thursday - mainly cloudy, mixed precipitation will give way to scattered showers and perhaps even a lonely thunderstorm, warmer, high 41.

Friday - Scattered showers in the morning give way to clouds in the afternoon, a couple of peeks of sun should be seen after lunchtime, high 44.

That should hold you until I can get a more detailed and graphics aided forecast up for you.  Have a great day!  Blessings.
