1/18 - 3pm - Mississippi State Forecast, KY/IN Tornado Update

It's still cold out there in Mississippi after a frigid morning with temperatures in the 30's.  A cold front that passed through yesterday is to blame for the chill, but fear not, temperatures will be back to around 60 for highs by tomorrow afternoon. Quick turnaround, huh? Some rain and a few storms will be possible Friday night into Saturday with temperatures still increasing. A shot of severe weather may be possible sometime around the middle of next week, so keep watch for more updates on that forecast as it becomes clearer. Today's Mississippi State University forecast video is below:
