An Editor's Read
As we head into the middle of August, we maintain a pretty consistent pattern of storms moving through the area. Much of the Midwest and surrounding areas should be on high alert as we have more severe weather potential and systems moving through the area this week. We anticipate some of the same areas to be impacted as the week progresses with pop - up storm developments. Be sure to stay alert and keep your head on a swivel as conditions can change quickly.
A look into the Tropics - Not much on the horizon now through the beginning of September. The areas once marked as potential areas of development have been eliminated due to windshear, Saharan dust, and impacts from a strong El-Nino Year. This doesn't mean storms can't pop up, always have a plan in place and stay alert. Remember, it only takes one storm.
