Upgrade Complete

The blog upgrade is complete. The radar window has been adjusted to fit the site and I have added tabs at the top of the page for quick access to the very latest watches / warnings and other goodies. Thank you for bearing with me during this process.

As you have noticed some elements on this page don't quite fit(such as the radar). Later on today the blog is going to go through a MAJOR upgrade. This is what you can expect from approx 4-8 this afternoon the blog may be down altogether, some links may not be working, and the radar will not be available. Listed below are some of the planned upgrades.

Multiple pages which can be accessed by tabs.
Much larger radar display.
A site meter showing how much traffic the blog gets a day.
A suggestion page.
Weather records/history page.
Much more.

I hear you.

I posted what I thought was going to be the final post here. But since then I have received over 40 emails of people wanting me not to shut down the blog.

I am continuing to track the possibility for severe weather Friday and Saturday. The models still have some differences but they are starting to agree. Also the latest models are showing instability topping at 750J, now granted this is not sufficient for tornado development but you do have to watch for the possibility of straight line winds and hail. 

Warm Temps and Severe Weather Ahead

Today: sunny with a high of 78 °

Monday: Sunny with a few clouds and a high of 81°

Tuesday: sunny with a high of 82°

Wednesday: cloudy and a high of 75°

Thursday: scattered showers and thunderstorms with a high of 69°

Note: Be aware that a possibility does exist for the development of severe weather Friday afternoon through Saturday.

There is some uncertainty with this system that will develop into late next week. The Nam puts the system in here Fri-Sat while the GFS keeps the system to the west. But due to the even the remote possibility of the Nam being right I decided to go ahead and advise you of the situation a week in advance. Be advised that the Nam has a reputation at being right more often than the GFS so please take this seriously.
