Weather Outlook

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 Alcohol Screening Day! Today is an outreach, education and screening initiative to raise awareness for drinking habits and behaviors that become harmful. It brings awareness to individuals at risk to get help with treatment options. This is provided to the public annually by colleges, organizations, and military outreaches. If you know someone, today could be an intervention!

National Barber Shop Quartet Day! An annual celebration of the unique harmony of Barbershop Quartet. Barbershop Harmony Society was founded on this day in 1938. The mission is to encourage and preserve the talent of quartet singing and harmony. Have you ever experienced this? I have seen it on television. Visit barbershop.org for more information.

National Submarine Day! On this day, in 1900, the United states purchased its first commissioned submarine, the USS Holland. Today is to commemorate the submarine community.

National Teach Children to Save Day! This is sponsored by the American Bankers Association Foundation and organizes bank volunteers to help young children learn how to save. Do you have children? Buy them a piggy bank, give them money, and watch them save. Go to your local bank for additional information.

National Eight Track Tape Day! The eight track was popular in the 1960s and 70s. The eight track was a 1/4 inch endless loop of magnetic tape in a hard plastic case. On the tape, there are eight parallel soundtracks to correspond to four stereo programs. What is your most memorable eight track moment?

National Pet Day! This was founded in 2006, by Pet and Family Lifestyle Expert, Animal Welfare Advocate Colleen Paige, to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives. It is also honored to create awareness to the many different kind of animals awaiting a forever home in shelters and rescues. Do you have a pet? You can post a picture in the comment of your pets. You can come out to TLHS Spring Fling at Tupelo Fair Park this Saturday and see some available pets.

Word of the Day: Alacrity is the cheerful readiness, promptness, or willingness.
