Peabody Duck Enjoy A Day In The Snow

Peabody Duck Enjoy A Day In The Snow

Snow fell over much of the Mid-South Wednesday morning leaving one to three inches of snow on grassy areas and rooftops.  One Memphis rooftop is home to the world famous Peabody Ducks.  They braved the cold and waddled through the snow on top of the Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis as they made their way to the warmer waters of Peabody fountain in the hotel lobby. 

Even though they are more at home treading water, the ducks took the snow in stride. 

Reminder: Winter weather preparedness tips

Reminder: Winter weather preparedness tips

With most of our Mid-South area receiving some amount of snow or ice yesterday evening and early this morning, it is clear that winter weather is already with us.

In case you missed it during the hustle and bustle of the Thanksgiving holiday, last week we shared a notice from the Shelby County Office of Preparedness regarding being ready for winter weather.

Please take some time to read through this bulletin so you and your loved ones will be ready for the next time snow and ice threatens our area.

Rush hour storms possible

Our weather team wants you to be aware that thunderstorms are possible Monday morning. We are not expecting severe weather, but you may want to allow extra time as you travel to work.

Most of the rain should be early in the day, but light scattered showers could still linger into the p.m. hours.  In any event, keep the umbrella handy all day.

Quite the change

What a turnaround! Highs are in the 70s today with sunshine abound. Most consider this nice after one of the hottest summers ever.

Highs should be in the 70s most of the week with overnight lows in the 50s.

Enjoy this fine, fine weather.

Finally a break

This has truly been one of the hottest summers ever in the Mid-South. This week however, at least for the first half, the humidity should be tolerable.

Look for highs shy of 90 tomorrow with lows in the 60s the next couple of nights.

Rain will be possible Thursday as our next disturbance rolls through the region.

Solar flare activity on the rise

Solar flare activity on the rise

On August 9 at 3:05 a.m. Memphis time, sunspot 1263 produced an X7-Class solar flare - only the third X-flare of new Solar Cycle 24 and the most powerful so far.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the explosion's brief but extreme ultraviolet flash. The brunt of the explosion was not Earth directed. Nevertheless, radiation from the flare created waves of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere, briefly disrupting communications at some VLF and HF radio frequencies.

The blast also accelerated a mild torrent of protons toward Earth which will enhance the Northern Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights
