Jonesboro Weather Just Got Smarter!

Mayor James “Spike” Harris announces the formation of a new collaboration between the Town of Jonesboro and the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) that has resulted in a new mesonet being installed at the Jonesboro airport that will bring the community real-time weather updates. 

What is a Mesonet?

Mesonets are interconnected networks of automated weather stations installed across an entire state or region and are built to improve the detection and monitoring of local or regional weather conditions.

“Thanks to this partnership, citizens now have direct access to up-to-the-minute weather conditions, including temperature, wind speed, rainfall, and more,” said Harris.  “This tool will be especially helpful for farmers, emergency responders, and all residents preparing for changing weather conditions.”
