Weather Outlook for 4/25/11 *SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE 4/26-4/27*

Hello out there. My apologies for neglecting the blog these past few days, but the weather has been rather uneventful, but that will soon change. Welcome to April in Alabama. Here are the details.

CURRENT OBSERVATIONS(AS OF 1600)
TEMP: 82*F
Mostly Sunny, Warm and Muggy
Wind out of the South at 13MPH gusting to 22MPH

TUESDAY 4/26/2011
High of 80*F, Low of 69*F
Scattered Thunderstorms throughout the day, mainly in the afternoon/evening hours. Take an umbrella with you to class just to err on the side of caution. Not expecting anything too severe tomorrow, but as I mentioned earlier, it's April in Alabama, anything can happen. The main threat rolls in here Wednesday afternoon.

WEDNESDAY 4/27/2011
Here we go again. The SPC out of Norman, OK has us under a moderate risk of severe weather Wednesday afternoon. There's a 50/50 chance of severe weather within 25 miles of a given point within this moderate area. Expect a high of 83*F, Low of 50*F. Rain, wind, hail at times. You name it. I don't want to say whether or not UA will cancel classes simply because we at UAMS have nothing to do with their decision making process for cancelling, plus it's "Dead Week", but I'm willing to bet some classes will be suspended until the warnings expire. The word "outbreak" has been tossed around by weather officionados regarding Wednesday's events, so take it however you'd like. Most likely we'll have a crew at the TuscCo EMA office once watches come out, and we'll have our new crew out in the field with the hopes of intercepting the incoming storms. Either way, we'll be bringing you updates throughout the day tomorrow and Wednesday. Make sure you have a severe weather plan in place should our area become threatened.

I'll bring more updates as the models become updated.

Until next time, Sub Divo!
