We made it to the weekend. I hope you had a great work week. I know many (like myself) have been working from home. I keep telling my 10 year old that this is something I have never gone through before. I guess none of us have been in a situation just like this. But we will get through it together. Wow, we got some big storms Friday evening. Check out some of the hail.
Large Hail
A lot of areas saw golf ball size hail in NE OK and SW MO. We will still have a few scattered storms into Saturday morning. I do think we could see a few scattered storms near the noon hour as the cold front passes through.
Midday Saturday
However, I don’t think they will be severe but of course I will watch them. Still Saturday will be a nice day. We will be very windy so you probably don’t want to burn if you are working in the yard.
Saturdays Planner
Sunday looks good as well. Partly sunny and in the mid 60s. Next system rolls in on Monday. This is the same system we had the last two days of January in the Heady Pattern. Remember, the pattern is a recurring cycle.
Monday
This will give us showers and a few thunderstorms but nothing looks severe right now. Okay check out my long range forecast below which goes well into May.
