Quick PM Update

* Everything is still pointing towards a significant severe weather episode tomorrow. The 18z computer model guidance is coming in as we speak, and the NAM shows almost no change. The GFS will start trickling out within the hour...I'll review it and post a full update later this evening.

* Sure wish I had about 18 arms today. Between forecasting, coordination conferencing, building weather graphics, and other TV related duties, it's rather difficult get it all done in a timely fashion. But, I enjoy working hard, so it works out well.

* I will be updating this space as much as possible during the night tonight and tomorrow. We will be a little short-staffed, as Renny Vandewege is under the weather and will not be able to assist us here. I hope Renny gets to feeling better soon.

* I would like to again reiterate that now is the time to go through your severe weather safety plan. If you don't have a plan, it's simple - have a way to get the warnings, and pick a safe place in your home to go to when a warning is issued. The best way to get warnings is a NOAA Weather Radio (available at any consumer electronics store). Basements work best, but interior bathrooms, hallways, and closets on the lowest floor of your home make good shelters as well. Abandon mobile homes and cars and take cover in the nearest ditch or substantial structure.
