The rain came in hard and strong. It’s kind of chilly. Good thing it is spring and warm weather is promising. Follow us as we take a look at WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Some strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible this weekend. Low pressure will move into our area as we go through into our Friday. This will bring our area a good chance for some off and on rainfall and thunderstorms. Some of the thunderstorms will be on the heavy and hefty side at times through our Friday and into the weekend. Some of the better chances for some severe weather will be found to the southwest of our area. However, we could see a few rounds of stronger thunderstorms as we go through our Saturday with the better of the chances for our Saturday evening and into our Sunday morning.

Friday A 20 percent chance of showers before 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 77. West wind around 5 mph becoming south in the morning. Friday Night A chance of showers and thunderstorms between 9pm and 1am, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 60. East wind around 5 mph.

We are excited to announce that Link Centre has been selected as the site for this year’s Comcast Cares Day project. Comcast NBCUniversal employees volunteer in their communities year round, but one day a year they celebrate this commitment coast to coast through Comcast Cares Day, engaging about 100,000 employees, families, friends, and community partners to volunteer and improve more than 1,000 work sites.

At Link Centre, they will be clearing the courtyard for a garden and gathering area as well as doing other landscaping and beautification work. We would like to invite you to join our team on Saturday morning, May 4. The project kicks off at 8am and runs til noon. You can register on the Comcast volunteer site at https://www.comcastinthecommunity.com/Project/Detail?projectID=11916. T-shirt orders go in early, so if you sign up now, you can request a specific shirt size. Not available on May 4? We have work that can be done ahead of time. Register for the May 4 project and contact me to let us know when you are available and we will be happy to have your help before May 4. We’ll even hold a shirt for you. 🙂 You can even get community hours for your organization.

If you have any questions, please contact me or Jessica Gunter at Comcast (601-586-2136 or Jessica_Gunter@comcast.com).

On This Day

National Big Wind Day! In 1934, on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, three weather observers recorded the highest velocity natural wind on Earth at 231 mph. That is a really strong wind. It definitely would have blown me away.

National Licorice Day! This is a sweet, chew, aromatic black substance made by evaporation of root juice and used as a candy and medicine. I do not like licorice on any day. If you fancy it, devour on it for me today!

National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day! This is made with bread and one or more types of cheese. Usually cooked on a griddle or in a pan. I have seen so many ways to make this. I will stick with my mother’s recipe!

International Day of Human Space Flight! The United Nations General Assembly declared this day in 2011. It is celebrated annually as the beginning of the space era for mankind. It reaffirms the important contributions of space science and technology. The first human space flight was carried out on this day in 1961 by Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet citizen.

Word of the Day: Geomalism is the tendency of an organism to grow symmetrically in a lateral or horizontal plane.

Quote of the Day: Nobody takes a picture of something they want to forget. -Sy Parrish, One Hour Photo

I am just going to enjoy these cool mornings. It is really getting hot during the day. Let us check our local WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Warm and windy today ahead of overnight showers. TODAY Expect mostly clear skies in the morning with temperatures in the mid and lower 60s. Through the day, look for a lot of sunshine as winds increase a good bit into the afternoon. Wind Advisories are in effect for many counties as winds reach 15 to 25 mph and gusts reach 35 to 40 mph. Secure any small items in your yard and use caution on roadways, especially near large 18 wheelers. With high wind and sunshine, highs reach the mid and perhaps upper 80s. Clouds increase into the night, likely after midnight or 10 p.m.

TONIGHT Clouds increase into the night, likely after midnight or 10 p.m. As a cold front moves in, those showers begin to move in as well. A few rumbles of thunder are possible. But nothing severe is anticipated out of this round of storms. They will be in and out relatively quickly.

On This Day

National Siblings Day! Today, we celebrate the relationships between brothers and sisters. If you do not have a sibling, I am sure you have a cousin or friend that is close. Reach out to them and tell them you love them.

National Encourage a Young Writer Day! Today, we encourage our children and young people to develop their writing skills. Whether it is learning to write or developing their grammar, help them and encourage them to write.

National Farm Animals Day! This day was created to raise awareness about the ongoing animals that are abandoned, slaughtered, and abused. Today is a good day to volunteer at your local animal shelter or donate. If you know where some wild animals are, go feed them. If you see anything inhumane, report it.

National Welding Month! According to the American Welding Society, April is National welding Month, the time of year to think about all the ways that welding holds the world together. From the smallest welds that keep your household goods in one piece, to the major welds that go into our cars, buses, tankers, and bridges, welding is literally the glue of the modern world.

Word of the Day: Moiety is one of two equal parts. It can also be one of the portions into which something is divided, or one of two basic complementary tribal subdivision.

Quote of the Day: It is always wise to stop wishing for things long enough to enjoy the fragrance of those now flowering. -Patrice Gifford

Be Kind/Give Back/Pay It Forward

The first and third Monday of the month, Arc of Northeast Mississippi has family bowling at Rebelanes. It is normally $5.00 to bowl (includes everything), but on the 15th, they are having a big fundraiser and charging $10.00 for adults. Kids are free. We are having food and prizes too. They emphasize inclusion of all…and this is a great outing for everyone regardless of disability, or age. Volunteers will be present to help the kids bowl! So this means, parents can enjoy grown up time. Not too bad for having fun for a reasonable price while helping your community!

Donate all your old books to the library. So, many things to do and promote reading!

National Volunteer Week! A week to observe and thank all the many volunteers across the country. The help to keep organizations going, especially non-profit. They work together to keep our communities safe and provide services that otherwise would not exist without volunteers. So, what can you do to volunteer and help your community.
