MM’s Wx Concerns
Snow flurries are possible tonight and Wednesday morning. Right now it doesn’t look like there will be any impacts.
Another strong storm system could bring heavy rainfall and the threat of strong storms from Friday to Saturday. Strong southerly winds could also prompt wind advisories. I’ll keep a close eye on all of this. The Storm Prediction Center plans to begin highlighting threat areas for Friday and Saturday in tomorrow morning’s thunderstorms outlooks. I’ll keep ya posted!
Today’s Stats
Today is almost identical to the weather we had on this day last year, complete with a tiny bit of precip like what we may get late tonight with snow flurries.

On This Day in Wx History
1989 – A storm moving out of the Central Rocky Mountain Region spread snow across Kansas and Oklahoma into Arkansas and Tennessee. Snowfall totals ranged up to 7.5 inches at Winfield, Kansas. Freezing rain on trees and power lines cut off electricity to 24,000 homes in northeastern Arkansas, and 40,000 homes in the Nashville, Tennessee area were without electricity for several hours.
