Starkville: The cold front has moved through Starkville. Tomorrow we will be expecting rain throughout the day and into the night because of a large trough with a developing surface low. The high will be in the mid seventies and the low around 50. Saturday will be cloudy with a slight chance of some sprinkles. Sunday will have plenty of blue skies though but with only highs in the upper fifties. Monday we will have blue skies again but a little warmer, into the lower sixties.

Chicago: A cloudy day for the Chicago area also. Rain will be moving into the region tonight and into Friday. But heading into Friday night the rain will change over to snow. Fridays high should be in the mid fifties. Saturday there is also a chance of light snow, colder air will be moving into the area which will give us a high of 40, which is below normal. No accumulation is expected because ground temps should remain relatively warm. Temperatures will stay about the same for a while.
Latest satellite imagery and RH time sections do indicate an increase in mid-level moisture and clouds overspread the region associated with the next upstream shortwave.
