Halloween & Fall Events 2018
The Rundown 10/5/18
Good morning, and that’s right, it’s Food Truck Friday! It’s also Friday, October 5th, 2018. It’s the 278th day of the year and there are 87 days remaining. There are only 26 days till Halloween. Oh, and keep in mind most of the area schools are closed this coming Monday for Columbus Day.
Here’s a quick update from WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast, and yes, it’s more heat.
High pressure across the southeast has been persistent the last few days. And as we head into the weekend, it remains in place. But perhaps it weakens a bit, giving us a few isolated afternoon storms by Sunday. Today, we begin with mostly clear skies and temperatures near 70. A few patches of fog will also be possible. Throughout the day, we’ll stay dry with abundant sunshine. Highs reach into the lower 90s again with heat index values into the mid-90s.

The Rundown 10/13/2018
Good Saturday Morning North MS! Don’t you just flippin’ LOVE this wonderful weather?
Today is Saturday, October 13, 2018. It is the 286th day of the year and there are 79 days remaining in the year. That means there are 17 days until Halloween,39 days until Thanksgiving 69 days until Winter, and 72 days until Christmas. Where did the year go?
Hey, since there is so much going on today, here’s a quick look at the weather, according to WTVA – The Weather Authority
The increased clouds overnight Friday made for milder conditions as Saturday morning started. Temperatures declined in the middle 50s for a few locations, but many remained in the upper 50s and lower 60s for many. This was an increase of 10 to 15 degrees across the majority of our area.
Saturday, the clouds are expected to remain intact in some capacity throughout the morning and into the afternoon, with a few occasional breakages allowing for sunshine to reach the surface. We will still climb into the lower to upper 70s and actually remain a little cooler than we might otherwise be with exclusively sunny conditions. Despite the increased cloud coverage, we will stay dry most of the day, with only a slight chance of an isolated shower or two in the hours following sunset.

Spring Tides For a Fall Hurricane
We are still seeing the effects of Hurricane Michael (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2018/MICHAEL_graphics.php) makes landfall. Obviously, this storm differs significantly from the other big tropical troublemaker, Florence, this hurricane season. While slow-moving Florence brought torrential rainfall to parts of the Carolinas and Georgia, Michael’s main punch will be its ferocious Category 4 winds (130-156 mph) driving water onshore in the form of a storm surge that could exceed 12 feet in some places.
While I don’t know much about the shape of the continental shelf off the Florida Panhandle (the shape of the shoreline sea floor can sometimes “funnel” water and create even larger storm surges), an additional concern that comes to my meteorological/astronomical mind is the timing of the tide. A high tide that coincides with the timing of landfall only exacerbates a bad situation.
Making things potentially worse is the fact that the moon is in its “new” phase today. That means that the Earth-Moon-Sun are all essentially in a line. Since the Earth’s tides are produced by the gravitational pull the Moon (more influential) and Sun (less influential) exert on the Earth, tides tend to be higher (spring tides) when the Earth, Moon and Sun are all lined up (as they are in new and full moon phases). During spring tides, high tides tend to be higher than average and low tides lower than average.
All this sent me to look at the tide predictions for Panama City, FL — https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatidepredictions.html?id=8729108&legacy=1 . Fortunately for the folks along the Florida panhandle, it would appear that Michael’s landfall (early this afternoon) will not coincide with high tide (not forecast until late this evening).
Those looking at the tide chart might wonder why there are only one high tide and one low tide shown per day at Panama City. Turns out that, while most coastal locations experience two high tides and two low tides per day, locations along the Gulf of Mexico have only one of each — “diurnal” tides (https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/kits/tides/tides07_cycles.html) .

The Rundown 9/28/18
Good morning Tupelo! Morning posts have been missing this week, had to work on the ole roof with all the rain. Back on schedule today.
Today is Friday, September 28th, 2018. It is the 271st day of the year, and there are 94 remaining. There are 32 days until Halloween, so keep your eyes on this page for the Haunted House Announcements.
Here’s a copy&paste of WTVA – The Weather Authority’s forecast.
We will begin with partly to mostly cloudy skies this Friday morning. And a few areas of fog will be likely, especially in our northern counties. But as we advance through the day, the fog gets out of here and most of the cloud coverage does as well. In terms of rainfall, we should stay dry. Highs will be pleasant as we will maintain a light northerly wind. Temperatures will begin in the upper 50s to lower 60s, eventually climbing into the upper 70s and lower 80s by the mid-afternoon. Skies should be mostly clear to partly cloudy Saturday morning with temperatures dipping into the upper 50s and lower 60s again. Then as we head through the day, we’ll remain mostly sunny. Again, rain will stay out of the forecast all day long with highs reaching into the lower and mid-80s. We continue to see sunshine into Sunday with dry conditions. But temperatures will heat up a bit more. We’ll start out in the lower 60s again. However, by the afternoon, we will see highs reach into the mid-80s again. Scattered showers and storms return into Monday with the inflow of humidity. Highs will be a bit cooler as a result of the added cloud coverage. We’ll begin with temperatures in the upper 60s before climbing only into the lower 80s by the afternoon. Tuesday will bring a few isolated showers and storms. But they shouldn’t be as widespread. Highs reach into the upper 80s. By Thursday, we’ll be drying out in terms of rainfall. But the heat and humidity lingers with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s. Some may even approach 90 during the second half of the work week.
