Sunny today, but it looks like our storm system wrecked havoc in Louisiana and several other southern states.

Clear and mild with 70 degrees today and through out the weekend.  Stormy weather comes back on Monday; potential for severe storms again.

Cloudy today and torrential rain coming in tonight through Saturday.  At least that's what the weather forecast says.  It always turns out to not be as extreme as it looks.  Oh, and the temperatures also turned cold enough to switch the heat back on for several days.  Very weird temperamental weather for April.

I just checked the weather forecast through the weekend and I'm surprised we have a "potential for severe weather", Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.   Last I looked there was an atmospheric river coming in from the west, lots of gulf moisture and a low pressure area.  I'll see what I can find out that's a bit more detailed through Accuweather.  Accuweather is more detailed than the Weather Channel, at least they still take time to write about what is actually causing the weather event.  Wunderground, used to be the best, but they stopped their section Category 6.

One of the most widespread severe weather events so far in 2024 will unleash tornadoes, hard-hitting hail and damaging winds across a dozen states starting on Thursday and continuing throughout the weekend.

Well, here it is:

One of the most widespread severe weather events so far in 2024 will unleash tornadoes, hard-hitting hail and damaging winds across a dozen states starting on Thursday and continuing throughout the weekend.

I suppose we need to really pay attention to our weather of these next several days.  Y'all stay safe!

Severe weather threat today.  Everyone stay safe!
