Meteorologist Mark’s Wx Discussion

There’s just not much to talk about these days. Just be aware that we have some scattered frost possible tonight. Take care of tender vegetation that is sprouting.

Next week looks unsettled but, at this time, nothing looks too concerning. Let’s hope it stays that way.

Tomorrow’s National Wx Hazards

Some accumulating snowfall can be expected across much of Wyoming and Utah, while more snowflakes accumulate across parts of the northern Rockies. Some heavy snow could fall just west of Denver and again just east of Seattle.

Drought Monitor (New!)

I had planned on only showing this map on Thursdays, but I’ve decided to include the map each day, especially as we get into the warmer months, when drought may become more prevalent for different areas of the country. These maps are updated on Tuesdays but released to the public on Thursdays.

During this week of March in 2008, NASA’s Swift Satellite observed a space explosion so bright that its afterglow was briefly visible to the naked eye! The explosion was so far away that it took its light 7.5 billion years to reach Earth!

You all have a great day and keep lookin’ up!
