Y’all shake your pill bottles and stock up if you’re low this week! The only time the pharmacy has had unscheduled closings has been when our roads and parking lot severely ices over. I use my best judgement to keep my employees and you safe!
We’ll hope for no severe ice and plan on normal business hours still for now!
First Alert Weather Day Saturday:
==A major storm system is going to develop over the deep south. Much of Mississippi will deal with freezing rain and / or sleet.==
+TIMING: The weather should start moving in Friday night overnight and exit Sunday morning. There will be travel impacts to much of the region and temperatures will be critical to the outcome of precipitation and the level of icing.
+FORECAST: We expect travel to be impossible over North Mississippi at least; & conditions in Central Mississippi will be borderline at best, but could deteriorate rapidly if temperatures fall below freezing in ongoing precipitation.
+BEST CASE: Below freezing temperatures are expected at night and in the morning, but daytime temperatures may be able to rise above freezing.
+BOTTOM LINE: Freezing rain & sleet are expected overnight in Central Mississippi Friday night & Saturday morning, potentially changing to cold rain during daylight hours Saturday, before ending as a mixture of Freezing rain & sleet & maybe a little snow Saturday night into Sunday morning. Travel will be worst the farther north you get away from from Interstate 20, but timing temperatures and precipitation in Metro Jackson & southward will be the challenge as conditions could rapidly deteriorate making travel tricky & difficult down to Highways 84/98. Stay weather aware as we are still several days out from this storm. Dave
