Good Tuesday all-
Today is going to be a day where we improve conditions dramatically the longer we wait- it's pouring out there this morning, and it will continue to do so for several more hours, but I think that by 9 or 10 we should be getting dryer, and thus it's quite likely that the majority of the day is dry. That said, the temps will not be all that warm- we're probably looking at temps in the 50s at best- one model says we could have trouble even getting that balmy- so be sure to wear either your sweatshirt or layers- you will not regret it.
As we move along, this week continues to look absolutely miserable with highs generally below average and chances of rain each day. Some will be wetter than others- much of tomorrow looks decent, rain tomorrow night, Thursday should be pretty alright, but Friday may be a total washout...you get the idea.
There are 12 days until the beginning of the Pacific Hurricane Season
There are 29 days until the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season
Today in weather history- May 3, 1999- The strongest tornado ever recorded, packing winds of 318mph, strikes Bridge Creek and Moore, OK, killing 36 people, injuring 600, and causing $1 billion in damage, remarkable for a single tornado. Despite all that, it could have been much worse- had the tornado continued for another ten minutes, it would have gone through downtown Oklahoma City, causing untold fatalities. Unfortunately, Moore has itself been hit by 3 EF5 tornadoes in the last 17 years...which is absolutely ridiculous for any location.
