Meteorologist Mark’s 5-Day Wx Concerns
Meteorologist Mark’s Wx Discussion
The next significant storm system will hold off until Monday. That system will likely produce several rounds of severe weather for the plains, but it looks like it will really lose its steam as it pushes this far east. Never the less, I’ll keep an eye on it and make sure we don’t have any storm worries. Right now confidence is high that we will not be dealing with widespread severe weather from this system.
The rest of next week looks unsettled. We may have some more storms to dodge Wednesday and those may be stronger than the ones we get Monday. That’s many, many days away and I have plenty of time to watch that and keep you updated.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to talk to three classes of fourth graders at Burks Elementary School in Monterey about severe weather. At the end of the day, about 70 fourth graders were ready for whatever Ma Nature throws their way! Great kids, great teachers, and an incredible experience!
NASA Nerdology
During this week in 2006, the MRO arrived at Mars and began searching for signs of water. The spacecraft uses extreme close-up photography to look for evidence of shorelines of ancient seas and lakes.
