The western edge of a low pressure system
tracking up the East Coast could bring some light rain or
snow to the region early in the day. This system will
quickly move out, allowing for some afternoon sunshine as
high pressure begins to build in. As this high pressure
slides eastward, high temperatures on Friday and Saturday
will top out well above normal for this time of year.
Skies will remain mostly sunny until the approach of the
next storm system on Sunday. -- Prepared by the Campus Weather Service

Highlight
The southern plains and mid Mississippi Valley received a fresh blanket of snow early this week as a low pressure system tracked toward the Gulf of Mexico. A band of 3-5 inches fell from northern Texas, across southern Arkansas and into western Tennessee. Memphis received just over 5 inches which nearly surpassed their statistical average for the entire winter season.
