Wacky Weather: Slow Start To Tornado Season

My apologizes, I haven't written in a while because I was on vacation, went to Purdue University to watch my little sister graduate and have been quite busy with my job. Anywho, while I was away I noticed that my nice warm temperatures, which I was absolutely in love, with took a vacation as well!

Our quite normal spring, has led to a slow start to the tornado season across much of the country. In fact, there has only been 237 tornadoes confirmed since the first of the year, which is minimal compared to the 659 confirmed tornadoes last year to this date. However, this below normal trend is expected to end this weekend as much of the country is starting to warm up, due to a southeasterly flow.

Notice how I said "normal spring", this is true our temperature throughout most of this spring have been near normal. We just think that it's cooler than usual because of all of the warm springs we have had for the past couple of years.

And Happy Birthday to my Dad!!

Wacky Weather: Tropical Cyclone Zane taking aim for Australia.

As our counter parts in the southern hemisphere gear up for winter, it also means that it is prime time for their tropical cyclones season. In fact, Tropical Cyclone Zane is taking a aim at Australia's northeast coast. The Cape of York in Queensland is bracing for a strong tropical cyclone to hit Wednesday night (local time), with winds expected to be sustained at 100mph. Heavy rain is also expected with this system.
