Now that we’re headed into March, it probably won’t come as a surprise to any of you to hear that we’re keeping this slightly more active pattern around – we’ve of course been no stranger to severe weather events of one variety or another over these last few months, and as we’ve been discussing in […]

As far as ways to start the Weekend go, today was not a bad example at all – we managed a handful of lower 60s today (though many of us stuck around the upper 50s), and we were treated to partly cloudy skies. In some ways today was also a “chapstick weather” kind of day,

After a some nice tastes of Spring over the last couple of weeks, the big story for the upcoming week is that of our well-advertised heavy rain chances that begin in earnest Tuesday, and last perhaps as late as into the next Weekend. Shown here on the left is one tool we use to see

What a wonderful Sunday it’s been, especially compared to yesterday – we’ve got an additional 10-15 degrees on Yesterday, with those widespread upper-60s taking hold, and MUCH less cloud cover which helped us secure those mostly sunny blue skies for today. If you’re anything like me, you certainly prefer this over what the last 3-4

We often take for granted the vast array of tools at our disposal when it comes to weather observation and weather forecasting, and that makes it easy to forget just how incredible a lot of this technology is when you step back and break down how it all works. My specialty, for example, is doppler

After a nice enough day as far as January goes, featuring only patchy upper-level clouds and typical temperatures for this time of year, we’re back to freezing (and below) for tonight and into early Sunday morning.

Hopefully you enjoyed those 40s and near 50 temps of Yesterday… because their time in the Valley is over! With the impending arrival of truly frigid, Arctic (literally, it came from Siberia!) air, I thought I’d take a look today at simple, useful tips to counter the cold as we start to approach wind-chill values

Our Florence UNA camera this evening is a good example of what most all of us have been working with today – a gray drab day, with those showers off and on with cool temperatures (so far, upper 40s, a couple low 50s here and there); good sleeping weather, in other words. This moisture, of

It’s been quite an active few days, with the snow and rain making for a slushy wintry muck across the area over the last 48 hours. All things considered, we’ve certainly seen worse systems this time of year, though some limited impacts did occur across the area. Fortunately with those highs above freezing today, we

An unwarned, quickly moving tornado touched down in a matter of minutes late Sunday night, leaving the Downtown and Courthouse blocks with extensive damage, and destroying the old Veterans Memorial Mural building. Our Sam Camp was in the skies and on the ground with aerial views ground views of the damage path through the downtown
