Severe Weather Prep
Hey guys! It’s going to be a busy day today and tomorrow, it looks more and more like we will have a very dangerous set up for severe weather across the southern and central plains, and then tomorrow into the Ohio Valley. If you live in these areas, I know you are prepared, but just in case, this is a very good website to bookmark.
Once you click on the site, click onto “tornadoes” and this gives you a thorough plan of action if and when severe weather strikes your area.
I will try to check back in throughout the day – and reply to comments. I’m so glad everyone is interacting, and I LOVE the idea of you sharing what the weather is like in your area!! LOVE IT! J Remember, if we didn’t have weather, what on earth would we start conversations with? Haha!

Janice, we leave in the morning for Panama City Beach, Fl. Please tell me it is not suppose to rain. Beautiful beaches. I will have a good time if it snows.
Hi Janice,
Wrote a comment, but think I forgot to submit so if I didn’t, you don’t have to do it twice. My comment is. Such a beautiful day today here today, but just read that we are in for some nasty weather. I basically live in the southwest corner of Ohio. So my question for you,is just how bad is it going to get, and what part of Ohio is going to get it. Living in Ohio, we always get all kinds of crazy weather. By the way, watching you now on Shep’s show.
Janet,
Ohio will be socked with some nasty weather today — so be extra careful! We need to get those storms out of the way for the World Series!
Janice,
Excellent advice. Also for larger groups to learn about preparedness at one time…such as schools etc., every NWS office has a WCM (Warning Coordination Meteorologist) who will schedule a talk at a schools request, or a company for that matter, and give a talk prior to Hurricane season, or severe weather season, or even weather in general.
Just call your nearest NWS offfice and ask to speak to the WCM. If he/she is out they will return your call.
Tom!
Thank you for writing. I’m so glad I have someone who worked for the NWS helping spread the good word! Please feel free to add to my blogs, and make suggestions. I wish I could spend more time during my forecasts on how to prepare for severe weather!
Janice,
Your weather forecasting knowledge has always fascinated us by timely and concise reporting, but the Farmers Almanac has missed the mark several years now……..Here in Wisconsin we have experienced a drought and the Great Lakes are near their lowest levels in decades. Now we have above normal temps for October with mid 60’s the remainder of the week, severe thunderstorms forecasted for tomorrow…….Global Warming…..No!! it is a 700 year cycle the planet is experiencing, remember we are just coming out of an Ice Age 10,000 years ago. The Upper Midwest has had Tornadic activity as late as middle November
Cheers

Heavy snow in the mountains here in Utah. Feels like a mini ice age to me!
Hey, Janice:
I was wondering…are the USAF Hurricane Hunters airborne checking out potential severe storm cells during this time, especially over TN and FL?
