Fay And Hurricane Gustav
August 26, 2008

My sister and I exchanged a few emails this morning.  Whenever there’s a chance for severe weather in her now home state of Georgia, I give her a heads up.  The leftovers of Fay aren’t finished yet and are taking aim at the Peach State.  She said flash flooding had been a huge problem over [...]

Tropical Potential
August 25, 2008

Fay is becoming known as the storm that just won’t die!  It’s still churning over Louisiana and Alabama.  As I’m writing this…most of the state of Alabama is under a tornado watch until 3 PM this afternoon.  The storm is no longer classified as a “tropical storm.”  It’s now a tropical depression since the winds [...]

Stormy Morning
August 23, 2008

Thunderstorms with cloud-to-ground lightning and torrential rain are moving through this morning.  Heaviest was around the I-70 Corridor and points North.  These storms will continue to fall apart in the next couple of hours and become nothing more than light rain.  Late morning through early afternoon will be our dry period.  Anytime after 4 PM, [...]

Rain’s On The Way
August 9, 2008

Showers are moving in from the West this morning.  By this afternoon, a cloudy sky with dominate with chances for showers and thunderstorms.  Severe storms don’t look likely – this looks like a good summer soaker, especially for folks South of the metro who are now under a Flash Flood Watch.  Some folks could get [...]
