Day 70: …And What Happened Yesterday
In last night’s post, I displayed a screen capture from the radar display I use to monitor severe weather events as they unfold throughout the United States. It was a very active severe weather evening across much of Arkansas – especially the SW to NE corridor through Little Rock. The image above is the preliminary list of all severe weather reports that the National Weather Service as received. As you can see, Arkansas had just about every kind of weather that one could expect from severe thunderstorms. In fact, I’m sad to report that one of the tornadoes resulted in a fatality in Arkansas. You can read more about it here.
