Severe Weather Statement 4/13 – 4/14

There remains the potential for widespread severe weather for the Eastern half of the United States, for today and through the weekend.

Basically, there are three storm systems converging which will create a “Nor’easter”, possible similar to the event detailed in the movie “A Perfect Storm”. The eastern half of the U.S. will be affected, most of the area will be looking at gale force winds, beach erosion, and heavy snowfall. In OUR area, we will be looking at high winds, possibility of long tracking super-cell thunderstorms, hail, and tornados.

At the time of this writing, much of Texas is under a Tornado Watch and High Wind Advisory, with a couple of counties under a Tornado WARNING.

The threat for us should materialize later tonight and throughout the day tomorrow.
