Meteorologist Mark’s Severe Wx Concern
The latest data shows our atmosphere becoming a bit more unstable on Wednesday than it looked like it would be with yesterday’s data. Therefore, the threat has increased a bit. Still, we remain on the “very low” end of the threat scale. I’ll let you know if that changes!
Another system bears watching this weekend (more info below).
Threats
A strong storm system will bring the chance for thunderstorms to our region on Wednesday. A few of those storms could be on the stronger side. I’ll keep an eye on it. Right now, widespread severe weather is not expected.
By this weekend, another powerful storm system will approach from the west. That system could also have some stronger storms associated with it. I’ll monitor that situation as we go through this week.
On This Day in Wx History
2004 – An outbreak of severe thunderstorms produced reports of 54 tornadoes across portions of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama. In Texas’s Hardin county, one person was killed and three were injured when a tornado struck during the afternoon.

Much of the country looks warm and dry for the first week of December, with the exception of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, where conditions may be a bit wetter and therefore cooler.
