Back in the saddle again...

Just flew in from New York City this past Wednesday, and I am glad to be back in the swing of things here in the Deep South, home to sweet tea and the best cookin' on the planet! Got to see some good snowfall last Friday (sorry for all the snow fans that I am making jealous). It was pretty cold up there as well.. had to stay bundled up in the scarf and gloves!

*Severe Weather Possible Monday Evening and Tuesday*

Battling a strange schedule tonight and some computer issues, so the nature of this blog will be brief. We will discuss the severe weather threat much more in depth and have a better handle on things in the 'blog tomorrow, so be sure to check back then.

Most areas north of Highway 80 will stay dry tonight and tomorrow, with the main focus for showers and storms remaining to the south. Still hard to pinpoint the timing of any showers or storms over the next few days, and we can't rule out the chance of any place seeing a shower at any time between now and Monday, when we think the 'big show' arrives. Looks like much of the deep south could be in store for some severe weather around the Monday evening-Tuesday time frame. At this time, the main threat looks to be from damaging winds and possible tornadoes. We are still 2 days away from the event, and things could change, but now is the time, as Josh has been writing, to have a severe weather safety plan and a way to get severe weather watches and warnings!

Beyond that in the longer range, I expect we clear out by the middle of the week, seeing more sun and less clouds. Looks like our next chance of some rain (and possibly thunderstorms...) comes in here in time for next weekend.

Remember we can't turn on your TV for you, especially at night. Also, outdoor warning sirens are only meant to warn people caught outdoors, not inside. Have a NOAA Weather Radio, and have a severe weather safety plan at home, school, work, church, and while driving.
