The pattern to set it up is normal. A weak La Niña fading to neutral makes the winter months hot and dry in the west/southwest US which lays the groundwork but this is a massive ridge of high pressure that is definitely not normal. Couple that with the already in place warm and dry conditions and it just magnifies it to the extremes we are seeing.
DCD spouting high falutin meteorological gibberish and Stingray graduates State with a weatherman degree all in the same week. Coincidence?
I’m looking forward to the unusually high 85 and sunny on Saturday. Looks like a great day to be lazy, eat crawfish, and drink an unhealthy amount of beer.
I Don't know if anything in this world is NORMAL anymore. This planet is 17ed up. i truly believe the end of modern civilization is about to change catastrophically. and don't start with this BS that the world has always been like it is now if a person really believes that they are stupid fools.
Sure glad I paid attention during meteorology classes during pilot training at Columbus AFB.
I've not been in the world long enough to argue the statement but every generation has about the same trajectory on declaring the end of the world as we know it.
True that.
My grandma used to always say the rapture would happen in her life.
55 years ago..
I remember my parents saying the same thing when I was a kid
If I didn’t go back home to farm I would have probably gone into meteorology.
Kinda two extreme ends of the spectrum. You could’ve sat in a building and watch other people suffer the consequences of the weather extremes. Instead you’re the one suffering the consequences of weather extremes. Admirable, helps explain your State fandom.
Just think, you and Stingray could be coworkers!
What’s funny is my degree is in ag econ which the economist answer to everything is “it might happen but it might not”. Forecasting the weather wouldn’t be far from that. Lol.
The dinosaurs were the only ones that nailed it **
I liked seeing the T38’s flying over my house during the week vs the T37’s but they seemed more prevalent than the 38’s but not as cool.
I always mistake those T38s for Russian MiG 28s**
I quoted a part of that skit to a bunch of kids just last week. They all started at me with disgust and confusion, as I expected.
It was still worth it- that skit must live on!
EVERY generation has had its share of people that believe that. I'm sure when Man first tamed fire the old geezers were sure it was going to lead to the end of the world.
Mid 80's this weekend is approaching record high status so while it's not common, it's not just completely unheard of. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but a few years I went back and calculated the percentages of when most record highs occurred in Starkville. Most were back in the dust bowl area of the 30's and the overwhelming majority were prior to 1980.
Mother nature doing its thing, but you'd be nuts to believe that pollution, stripping the planet, and our lust for fossil fuel has not contributed on some level- and cow farts. Don't forget cow farts.
A new Dust Bowl scenario is a real possibility. Climate change or not, ain't nobody hiding from severe drought and groundwater depletion.

My son is a third year professional meteorology major at State. Let me know if you have any questions that need vague answers.**
The 1920s and 30s had some truly insane weather with extreme droughts and floods. People thought the world was ending.
Extreme drought is always a possibility but the dust bowl was combination of drought and poor tillage practices that aren’t done like that anymore.
Didn't the Southern US have that in either 2022 or 2023? Hot and dry from May through September. May was like your typical June, June was like the typical July. And July and August were like the surface of the sun. The upside was high pressure kept the hurricanes at bay.
They been promising us global warming for years but here I am freezing my *** off in south Louisiana
I have been trying to grow a Palm Tree here in North Mississippi for 30 years . They keep dying.
And I have to dig up my Banana Trees, Elephant Ears and Plumeria every winter still.
Color me nuts. The environmental world starts as a noble goal and VERY quickly results in a monetary expedition. To everything there is a season…
The non-environmental world results in a monetary expedition, so I am unsure why it would surprise anyone that the environmental world would result in a monetary expedition.
And I am unsure why revenue or profit are seen as dirty or dishonest when it comes to environmental based tech, initiatives, or companies.
Things can be both noble AND profitable. Or both noble AND charge for it.
He is a rice farmer. I don't know much about Miss rice growers but the rice patties I saw overseas were really wet. I'm banking farmers need to have some knowledge about weather.
I’m outside spraying hairspray with cfc’s in the air to open up the ozone layer. Screw the future people. I’m cold now.
