Tornado Watch Overnight...

I noticed my last blog talked about a severe weather threat.  We have another fairly high risk developing tonight as a front has lifted north of us placing all of south LA/MS.  under a Tornado Watch thru 3 AM.  With  much of the activity so far to our north & west, I feel it's likely SPC will have to extend the Watch hours beyond 3 AM.  It appears our greatest chances for storms comes between 2 AM & 6 AM.   FOX 8 will begin hourly updates as conditions warrant.  April here is typically our stormiest month regarding a tornado threat.  Tonight we have a powerful upper disturbance plowing colder air into a warm, moisture rich atmosphere along with a strong (fast moving) upper level jet stream that screams "ALERT, ALERT!"   Tonight is pay attention time, but as usual the threat is coming after dark so I hope many of you already have purchased the programmable severe weather alert radio from Midland Electronics.  Stay safe.

I watched the Ann Curry NBC  Krocumentary tonight regarding Climate Change.  Great pictures, but so many half truths.  It was clear at the end that they had an agenda.   Man is responsible for Climate Change ( like it's never happened before), but worse, man can somehow reverse it.  One of the Arctic scientists did mention the warming was partly due to ocean currents, but clearly avoided using the term CYCLE.   As this brutal winter lingers into a cool Spring with signs that next Winter will be just as cold, what will it take to get the journalists to look at "just the facts, Ma'am".  Where is Joe Friday (Dragnet for you youngsters) when we need him!
