HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!
The first true threat of storms comes today and tomorrow as a front moves through the region. Enough instability is aloft where we could get pop-up showers and storms the next few days, some of which could produce hail and damaging winds. Indeed, some could be borderline severe this afternoon- though not everyone will even see a drop of rain. The situation repeats itself tomorrow, before temps climb to the mid 60s and we clear out Mon-Thurs, with more rain possible Friday. All in all, a boring weather week awaits us. The odds of snow mixing in tomorrow night are still there, but lower- I would guess about 10:1 for the moment.
Today in weather history- May 3, 1999- The single strongest wind speed ever recorded on Earth (A whopping 318mph) is found in an F5 tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. 41 people are killed and 581 injured in what is widely regarded as the most severe storm on record, and was one of only about 3 tornadoes in history which the NWS seriously considering awarding F6 damage to. Oddly, this would be the last F5 or EF5 tornado until Greensburg, Kansas was hit by one eight years later in 2007.
