More Severe Storms Monday?

With last week’s hailstorm and Saturday’s wind storm fresh on our minds, it appears the next 2 days could bring us more nasty boomers.  The Storm Prediction Center has placed us under a “slight risk” for severe storms so we’ll need to keep up with the weather on Monday, especially between 9-noon as  a squall line is predicted to develop over east Texas and head quickly across south Louisiana.  Gusty, possibly damaging winds & large hail with heavy rains are the more likely possibilities.  A weather watch box is likely to be issued if the computers are correct.   The computer models weren’t very accurate on Saturday and they could be overplaying tomorrow’s threat, but it is a day we need to pay attention to those morning broadcasts.

 

In this age of modern technology, I find it difficult to believe so many boats were caught in Saturday’s T-Storms south of Mobile Bay.  The boaters I know all have the ability to receive real time radar and no longer have to watch the horizon to know it’s time to head inland.  Several dead, some still missing…tragic.   What were they thinking?   More likely, what were they drinking?
