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.
