Happy Friday everybody! Today is Friday, November 2nd. It is the 306th day of the year, and there are 59 days left. Thanksgiving and all that turkey is in just a few weeks. Winter begins in 49 days, and Christmas is 52 days away.

Here’s what WTVA – The Weather Authority has to say about today’s weather.

Friday will start out with mostly cloudy skies and much cooler temperatures. And along with the cloud coverage comes a few sprinkles and perhaps some drizzle in spots. Otherwise, we should stay dry through the morning with cloudy skies sticking around. Temperatures begin in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Then through the day, we’ll only reach into the upper 50s to lower 60s. Later in the afternoon and into the evening, a round of light showers will pass through the region. So grab the rain gear as you head out this evening, perhaps some heavier rain gear considering how chilly it will be.

Here’s a quick quote from WTVA – The Weather Authority about this crazy wishywashy weather.

Extra cloud coverage has built into our region early this Tuesday morning. But none of this will bring any rainfall. Temperatures start out a bit warmer, mostly in the mid-40s. Then during the day, this thin cloud coverage will gradually move on out. This will leave us mostly sunny by the afternoon with afternoon highs reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s. Again, no rainfall is anticipated throughout the day.

Good morning Tupelo! Well, I guess we asked for colder weather…and we sure got it.

Here’s a look at the weather from WTVA – The Weather Authority

Temperatures have plunged well into the mid and upper 30s this morning across most of our area, leading to areas of frost as you head out the door this Monday morning. A few across the south may begin in the lower 40s. Either way, we start out with clear skies. And we’ll remain clear all day long with temperatures climbing into the mid-60s. No rainfall is expected throughout the day.

Good Morning Tupelo! Today is October 15th, 2018. It’s the 288th day of the year, and there are 78 days remaining. There are 15 days until Halloween, 37 days until Thanksgiving (better get your flights booked), 66 days until winter, and 70 until Christmas.

Here’s a quick weather update from WTVA – The Weather Authority

As a frontal boundary moves through the region during the day, expect temperatures to be widely variable from place to place throughout the day. We will mostly begin with temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s. A few spotty showers are likely as well, mostly north of Highway 278.

As the day advances, we will see this front slowly push through the area from north to south. So areas across the north likely see temperatures fall all day long. Some across the south, where the front won’t pass until the afternoon, will warm up a bit more ahead of the front’s passage. This means high temperatures will range from the lower and mid-60s across the north, occurring early in the morning; to the lower and mid-80s across the south, occurring later in the afternoon. Rainfall totals will be very minimal, likely no more than a tenth of an inch in most locations.
