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.
