Forecast

May 16 2022

Monday Morning Report

The atmosphere is ripe for severe storms to develop today. The air feels humid, and places with thick fog will get breaks of sun to fuel storms erupting mid day through the afternoon. The prime time will be Noon to 6 PM, crossing many metro areas.

The Enhanced Risk is Level 3 of 5, and a rare status for us, so lease take this seriously. Storms may contain damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornados. See the local look and radar simulation timeline below. 

 



 

Watch Vs. Warning

Should an Alert be issued for Severe Storms, Tornadoes, or Flooding, please remember this:

A WATCH means it ‘might’ happen. This is often issued first for a large area.

A WARNING means it is ‘HAPPENING NOW’! This is short term with a county and towns listed in the path.

*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:

I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell.  I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. 

I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. 

All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. 

There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. 

I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…

It’s part of my charm.
