Introduction

Welcome and thank you for visiting the West Alabama Weather Blog! The purpose of this blog is to provide accurate daily weather information to residents of Fayette, Lamar, and Marion counties, as well as weekly climate reports, soil conditions, and long range forecasts. I hope to integrate an agricultural aspect into the forecast as it could be beneficial to farmers in the area who rely on accurate and timely weather information.

I am a recent graduate of Mississippi State University with a B.S. in Geosciences concentrated in Operational Meteorology. I am a lifelong resident of Fayette, Alabama and hope to bring benefit to locals in the area who rely on detailed, area specific information.

Weather has always been my passion, rain or shine. The great thing about the weather is the fact that it is constantly changing. The element of change and uncertainty is what makes forecasting so gratifying, or in some cases frustrating. Forecasting the weather truly is an art and not an exact science. However with persistance, attention to detail, and the ability to learn from mistakes, good forecasts can be delivered. That is what I plan to do. Again I appreciate you stopping by and hope to provide you with useful, interesting information in the future. Please feel free to call or e-mail me anytime if you need additional information!!
