Active Severe Weather This Year
This is somewhat of a continuation of Zach's blog entry from yesterday. 2008 is been an active severe weather year to say the least. Below is a map that plots all the severe weather storm reports across the area for this year. Here is a breakdown of the stats:
Tornado (red): 51
Wind damage (blue): 616
Hail (green): 324
Compare these stats to last year's reports:
Tornado: 2
Wind damage: 480
Hail: 242
Isolated Showers This Morning
Showers continue to pop up across the area for this morning. I have activated the Interactive Storm Room - stop by for a live stream of Doppler Max 6, the weather center, and a live chatroom. You can find the link on the front page of our website. Spotty showers will be possible for the rest of today and into tonight.
