Meteorologist Mark’s 5-Day Wx Concerns

Meteorologist Mark’s Wx Discussion

The weather pattern continues to look cooler and more stable once we get to tomorrow. That will keep severe weather chances at bay for at least a week, maybe two weeks. This pattern could bring bouts of scattered frost, with the first chance for that coming Friday morning. Since the Dogwoods are in bloom, we would call that Dogwood winter.

Almanac for Yesterday

Solar/Lunar Data 

On This Day in Wx History

1886 – A devastating tornado, 800 yards in width at times, cut a twenty mile path through Saint Cloud, Minnesota, killing 74 persons. The bottom of the Mississippi River was said to have been seen during the tornado’s crossing. Eleven persons were killed at a wedding party near the town of Rice.

Farther west, a wildfire danger will be found across western New Mexico and northern Arizona. Farther north, accumulating snowfall can be found across western Montana and northern Wyoming.

Tomorrow’s National Weather Hazards

Very heavy snow is expected across the mountains of southern Vermont, as well as western Nebraska and northeast Colorado. Elsewhere, accumulating snow can be found across Wyoming and western Montana again. A wildfire danger overspreads much of New Mexico and eastern Arizona.

The drought monitor is updated each Thursday.

NASA Nerdology 

The Ingenuity helicopter on Mars was set to fly today, after being delayed from flying Sunday. However, now a system update is taking place and they can’t fly until that is finished. It could take several days. A friend of mine from the NASA Socials created this for the occasion (ha!).
