March 24, 2009: Weather instruments – raining – house!
Well, the rain has arrived. Lots of it. So far we have had over 1/2" of rainfall and more to come. I would imagine most of us will see at least 1". Not bad. We needed the rain – lot of grass fires.
9 PM Weather Radar – line of storms hitting our county
A big severe weather event is possible on Friday into Saturday – mainly south of our region. Will have to carefully watch the track of the low, though. If it shifts northward then this could bring severe weather into our region. Right now it looks like TN/MS/AL will be hit hard.
Jason and Joey (works with Jason) helped put the weather instruments up at the Reidland Fire Station. Looks like they are working just fine tonight. Same with the instruments on the west part of the county. They are working as well. Links below
