Meteorologist Mark’s 5-Day Wx Concerns
Meteorologist Mark’s Wx Discussion
The most interesting thing on my radar is a big storm system that will come at us in about a week. That system is being eyed by the Storm Prediction Center. Areas of the southern plains are already being highlighted in severe weather threats for the end of this week and into the weekend because of this incoming storm system. There is some concern that we, too, will be under that threat by Sunday – Monday. It’s something for me to keep a close eye on.
Following this system, much cooler air looks to spill into our region, leading to below normal temps for much of next week. That could change, so stay tuned.

A bit more active of a weather day. Some freezing rain threatens portions of eastern Montana and western North Dakota. Heavy snowfall is expected across the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

Weather Shots
This is just a picture of some Cirrus clouds, those high and thin wispy clouds you see in the sky from time to time. OH, I forgot to tell ya….this is on Mars! This is a shot from the Curiosity rover on Mars. The photo was taken on March 5. All the buzz is about the Perseverance rover these days, but we can’t forget how super cool the other rovers are! What a shot!
NASA Nerdology
It was during this week in 1982 that the USSR spacecraft Venera 14 landed on Venus and survived 57 minutes on the 880 °F surface! The spacecraft examined a soil sample and returned photos of its surroundings before succumbing to the heat.
