Justine-Marie is ready for St. Patrick's Day...
...but she's not dressed up for the weather! This picture doesn't show the rain and the lightning we were getting at 8:15 this morning, but it does give y'all an idea of what the atmosphere is like right now.
That is NOT a funnel cloud dangling from that base, by the way. It looked the part, but there was no rotation. Unfortunately...take a look at what our forecast for today looks like!
A few tornadoes may be strong and may occur after sunset. Dammit, I hate that. Tornadoes are hard to see at night. Yeah, we've got great radar systems now, but meteorologists still rely heavily on storm spotters for "ground confirmation," as they call it. The local weather stations, KFVS and KAIT, have both been predicting this system for almost a week, and that's not good either. The further ahead a system is predicted to be severe, and the longer the forecasts stay consistent, the more likely it is that the storms will be bad. The storms are noisy but not severe right now, but there's gonna be a lull between now and the main event this afternoon. And guess what? That's not good either! It gives the clouds a chance to thin out, let the sun through, and make the air more unstable. So I'm definitely watching the skies today. Staying prepared and close to home.
If you're anywhere in Arkansas or in Southeast Missouri today, be safe!
Love always,
