NOAA’s May outlook for the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season is out, and, as usual, be ready for just about anything.

How does the National Weather Service, after the fact, determine whether damage was caused by a tornado or by “straight-line” winds?

The watch is set to expire at 9:00 pm.

These days, we see more video of nasty weather from across the country than we used to, but that does not necessarily mean the weather has gotten any worse over the past several years.

A return to February weather serves as a speedbump to spring, which will be back in full force shortly.

Why do our rain reports differ from what’s happening in your backyard?  It’s the nature of how we typically get our rainfall, and your reports can help fill in the gaps.

On the surface, spring or “spring-like” weather would lead you to believe we’ll be warm.  Spring weather is marked by gradually warming days and nights, but most of all, true spring weather means plenty of change.

Our weather’s been wild around here lately, but it looks like temperatures will be warming up after a raw weekend.

A survey conducted after a February, 2008 tornado outbreak across the South indicates many people get the warnings…they just won’t get out of harm’s way.

A doomed climate satellite crashes to Earth, and lands in an area where the cliamte change issue is heating up.

Another reminder from the South Carolina Drought Response Committee…we need to watch the water situation closely now.

Fredhog predicted an early spring….so what are we expecting in the wake of our recent run of mild weather?

Our very own Fredhog has (silently) spoken…Spring will crank up early!

We’ve lost our early January rain surplus, and the drought continues.  It will take more than one or two heavy rain events to pull us out.

Our average temperatures are as low as they’ll go; they start climbing from here on out this winter.
