HEADLINES: No major concerns - the weather will be quiet for much of this week! This is good news. We are almost through April without any major severe weather events.
I will not be posting an update on the blog until Thursday - this is because of a family illness and death.
I have no significant weather concerns for our region through Thursday afternoon.

The next chance for rain/storms will arrive on Friday - I will update on this subject later in the week.

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
