We're in another period of wash, rinse and repeat summer weather - warm, muggy mornings with pop-up storms in the later afternoon and evenings....yeah, welcome to summer; I am so over summer.

You know its' summer when a derecho strikes on the summer solstice...and what d'ya know; we have a derecho! ☔☇☇☇🌀

In all seriousness though, everyone stay safe in the Dakotas and Minnesota tonight and through the overnight into Saturday morning...🙏🙏

Damn Inclement Weather...

...now i know how people in Florida feel whenever they get wave after wave of weather come through their communities as we have here in Western NC the past few days....

Inclement Weather

We had our first sustained bout of severe thunderstorms this season; there's still areas south of the homestead getting battered but things are finally beginning to calm down...nothing like some good old hail-dropping, windy storms to remind you that, in the end, Mother Nature is still in charge.

Its' Storm Season....

....which explains the lack of posts yesterday. It happens; we get our worst storms here in Western North Carolina in the spring (with a secondary season in the early/mid fall) and unlike the pop-up varieties that come through in the summer, these are generally front-driven, as in usually there's a cold front somewhere pushing the storms forward.

Just one of the "perils" of living in what is one of the most beautiful areas in the world to live in.

Wash, rinse and repeat..... *sighs* ...I'll be glad when summer arrives. In the meantime, stay safe everyone!

Another Round of Severe Storms Strikes Mid-Central U.S.

Interesting couple of weeks weather-wise hasn't it?

Violent storms and tornadoes have torn across the US south and midwest, killing at least seven people and downing power lines and trees, smashing homes and upturning cars across multiple states.

The outbreak of storms and tornadoes has resulted in at least seven deaths in Tennessee and Missouri, with further fatalities expected to be confirmed. One of the victims has been named: a 68-year-old man named Garry Moore who was a fire chief in Cape Girardeau county, Missouri. At least a dozen injuries have also been reported from the storms.

The White House has approved a state of emergency request from Tennessee, where rising floodwaters have menaced Nashville. Indiana, meanwhile, has declared its own state of emergency, activating 50 national guard members to deal with severe weather that has affected 41 of the state’s counties. (The Guardian)

Much as I hate to say it, folks, but maybe the fine fine people over at DOGE (an agency originally created as the Digital Service by Pres. Obama) could remember that weather forecasting is as much a part of public safety as law enforcement and the military are. Yes, everyone inside the federal government needs to trim back a bit but the NWS is an agency that, given America's weather history, might need a boost of support.

Another week, another severe weather outbreak hitting the Upper Midwest and Ohio/Tennessee Valleys; later today the bulk of the severe weather will begin moving towards the South....stay safe and weather aware, folks!

A Truly Wild Week of Weather Is About To Unfold...

A major severe weather outbreak (not surprising; it is late March/early April after all) looks set to unleash itself over the Midwest and most of the Eastern U.S. tomorrow through Monday. Safe safe, stay weather aware; as Ryan Hall puts it, "Don't be scared, be prepared."

Second day of a severe weather outbreak across the Eastern half of the U.S.; thus far, 26 souls have been lost by the weather and hundreds of thousands of people without power. Continue to pray for those in the affected areas.

Its' only fair that we get out the news that there is expected a serious severe weather outbreak for not only today but the weekend and all I can say about is this, other than prayers for those affected (including Western North Carolina due to these storms reaching our neck of the woods in the overnight hours of Saturday and into Sunday morning) but also for the brave men & women of the National Weather Service )(and their military counterparts w/the Defense Dept.).
