One year ago this morning we were waking up to over 4 inches of snow on the ground in the Starkville/MSU area. While we do not have any snow in our forecast, it will definitely feel like winter this weekend.
In the meantime, we will have a mixture of clouds & sun this morning, but a few showers are possible this afternoon with a high near 50. The arctic front will come through after midnight with north winds of 15-20 mph, gusting to 30 mph. The low tonight will be in the lower 30′s. Saturday will be cloudy with some sun mixed in with a high in the upper 30′s and a wind chill in the 20′s. Saturday night will be very cold with a low near 20 and a windchill in the teens.
