Spring Weather

* What an active weather day for our neighbors to the north and northwest...Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are affecting parts of the Plains today. Some details are available in our 11 1-Liners segment:

11 1-Liners for Thursday

- There is a big severe weather outbreak unfolding in the Plains.

- An Oklahoma TV station captured a tornado live via helicopter.

- A tornado is believed to have hit downtown Omaha.

- Lightning started a grass fire in Nebraska.

- We anticipate some showers and storms tomorrow.

- There will most likely not be any severe weather.

- For that, we are thankful.

- A huge Colorado snowstorm is finally over.

- The highest 48 hr total: 26" in Coal Bank Pass, Colorado.

- Several other locales reported over one foot.

- Forgive my fascination with snow.



* Tomorrow still offers some rain chances...Showers and an occasional thunderstorm will roll through tomorrow afternoon. The rain will linger into early Friday evening, but the front should stall and then lift back northward as a warm front. Right now, our thinking is that the front will lift far enough north that Saturday will be mostly dry. But, we cannot rule out a passing shower.

* This weekend is a busy one. Arts in the Park is Saturday, so be sure to head out to Bonita Lakes for that! Pack the rain gear just to be safe, but you will most likely not need it.

* Unfortunately, I will not be able to check out Arts in the Park this year. The big coastal weather symposium in Mobile is this weekend, and I'm heading south to attend that. Should be a great opportunity to learn some new things about weather!
