The forecast is sunny and warming up for the next 5-7 days. Just checked my yard, 1 1/2 inches of rain which is a very small amount compared to the 6-10 inches reported just a few miles north of here. My Snaps got beaten over, hopefully they will stand up again once the sun reaches them later this morning. And one Iris was broken, so it is not floating in a bowl of water on my computer desk.
All in all, we have been very lucky yet again. Guess someday it will be our turn for the bad stuff tho.
Lots of wind damage last night, several small tornadoes just hopping around it seems. The National Weather Service has two teams down here interviewing witnesses and watching the assorted videos to determine just how many there were and where. Most of the storms we have been getting have been rated as F0 with one F1, but when you get 4 or 5 F0 tornadoes hopping around they can still do a lot of damage.
Randy went out to storm spot again. There was a radar report of upper level rotation not far from us so he went to keep an eye on it. A funnel never formed, the rotation stayed up high.

Weather really is fickle eh Toni. Glad that you got through yesterday ok and hopefully you will find time to enjoy the few forecasted days of sun.

Let's just hope the frecasters are right and that you're going to get some sum for a change Toni.
