We will have to watch this very closely! We are on the line for MOD risk for severe weather. With WINDS still being a big threat with a good 45% chance good news is tornadoes are still around that 5% chance however we will not rule them out. And hail being another good chance with a good 30% chance.<BR/><BR/>We will just have to take this hour by hour! <BR/><BR/>Justin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997582511588511868.post-923965498051129532009-03-08T11:53:00.000-04:002009-03-08T11:53:00.000-04:00BULLETIN - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTEDTORNADO WA...BULLETIN - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED<BR/>TORNADO WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE FOR WT 49<BR/>NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK<BR/>1040 AM CDT SUN MAR 8 2009<BR/><BR/>TORNADO WATCH 49 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 400 PM CDT FOR THE<BR/>FOLLOWING LOCATIONS<BR/>INC007-011-015-021-023-027-045-051-055-063-073-083-101-105-107-<BR/>109-111-119-121-125-129-133-147-153-157-163-165-167-171-173-<BR/>082100-<BR/>/O.NEW.KWNS.TO.A.0049.090308T1540Z-090308T2100Z/<BR/>IN<BR/>.

We are either over in temps temporarily, that causes problems. OR we are below are averages. We can never be just right on track for the time of year. The temps will soon go back to around 30-40's. I believe that is below normal now, since we are approaching mid March. Our averages should be ever so slightly be going up too. <BR/><BR/>I am hoping for another warmer spell for the last part of March, that way it'll be hot down in Florida. I am not holding my breath though. I don't think we have had a normal Spring and summer in a long time. As I think they both were below normal last year too. Never truly got too hot. <BR/><BR/>This time changes is a bummer, it took 1hr away from me this morning!
