Monday Severe Weather

Looking at the latest info, it appears that Monday evening/night could be rough. Many storm chaser message boards are buzzing about the prospects of a regional tornado outbreak in western and central Oklahoma. Wind shear (changing of wind direction or wind speed with height) is forecasted to be strong. Temperatures are going to warm to near 80, and dewpoints should be in the low to mid 60's, which is definitely enough moisture for severe weather.

It seems like I had this exact same post last week, but the storm system didn't pan out as had been forecasted a few days in advance. That could definitely happen again this time, but if this active pattern continues this Spring we are bound to get hit eventually....

More posts to come as needed.
