Almanac for Yesterday
MM’s Severe Wx Concerns
Wednesday’s threat is greatest across Putnam, Cumberland, White, and Bledsoe Counties (and any location south of these counties). The threat is lower along and north of a line from Livingston to Jamestown, though you all are still at risk for a severe storm.
Severe storms will be possible both Friday night and Saturday, as it looks right now. Keep this in mind if you have holiday plans. We’ll focus on this more after we get passed today’s threat. This system could evolve into more of a flood threat than severe weather threat. Stay tuned.
MM severe weather safety tips can be found at the link below. Make sure you are prepared, just in case bad weather rolls in.
For help setting up a weather radio please see the link below. I created a video for setting those up.
MM’s Winter Wx Concerns
Impacts look low to zero for this event, but I’ll keep a close eye on it! The main story will be the sharply colder temperatures! Make sure your outdoor fur babies are sheltered and dry before this 40-degree temp plunge arrives Sunday!
