Today’s National Wx Hazards
Freezing rain threatens areas from the Oklahoma Panhandle to southern Michigan. What a mess of a day for all those folks. Heavy snow will threaten eastern Iowa and southern Wisconsin. Snow will also fall from the Four Corners region to the central plains and Upper Midwest. Quite the storm! A new storm system moving into the Pacific Northwest will bring mountain snows and valley rains.
Tomorrow’s National Wx Hazards
Another messy day for a lot of folks. Freezing rain threatens an area from southwest Missouri to New England. Higher elevations of New England will see that rain fall as snow. More snow will fall across the Great Lakes region, as well as across the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Flooding rainfall will threaten parts of eastern Texas to western Arkansas.

NASA Nerdology
How wild is this? Meteorite ALH 84001 was found in Antarctica in 1984. Analysis found that the rock came from Mars, having been ejected from the planet after an asteroid impact! I bet that was a wild ride! If only this rock could talk…..
Hi Mark! I have noticed for the last 3 days that you’ve not included “Yesterday’s Weather” in your blog post, I always like to review that section to see what our stats were for “yesterday”. Is this an oversight or have you decided to eliminate this info? Thanks!
Hi Jan! That data has been unavailable since the Nashville bombing, so I assume AT&T has something to do with the transmission of that data. It should be back up and running again soon and then I can do the “Yesterday’s Weather” section again. Thanks for asking! I miss that data, too!
