After several days of computer problems, I am finally able to blog again! What a week it has been too. Two significant severe weather outbreaks. As of this writing, we are now up to 89 tornado reports for the month of January. That is incredible. The average for the entire month, is 34, and it is only the 11th. Lets hope this doesn't keep up!

Our weather was very interesting as well. I don't remember the last time that I saw thunderstorms and snow in the same 12 hour period, like we saw on Tuesday. That was very interesting. Then, to see that area of rain develop on top of us on Thursday was exciting as well. We are up to 1.05" of rain for this month/year. A very nice start to the year.

We got another break today from the active weather. The clear skys gave a neat view of the small area of snow to our north from yesterday.


The tranquil weather should continue for several more days before big changes begin to arrive. Tuesday, temperatures will climb into the upper 40s and lower 50s in front of a big push of cold air. The cold front will usher in some much colder air, as well as a chance of snow or rain. Right now it way too early to tell who will get snow or rain. The latest models push all the precip to our south, but this is still nearly a week away, and a lot will change. The cold air will probably stick around for a while, so we will likely have several more chances of snow this month.

I will try to start blogging more often. I had hoped to have more posts this week, but computer problems kept me from even updating my forecast graphics.
