Showers and Thunderstorms in the South

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to linger cross the South through the next couple of days as a trailing front stalls across the region. Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms may produce large hail, severe wind gusts, and heavy rain across portions of the southern Plains today and Wednesday. Read More >

 

 

 

Weather observations are taken by forecasters and HMTs every six hours every day of the year. We will measure liquid precipitation, air temperature, and in the winter time we will also measure 6 hour snowfall and total snow depth. Shown here is our observation site (A and B), and our HMT Tabitha taking a rainfall measurement (C). After this is completed, we will review our temperatures using our Nimbus thermometer/display (D) as well as our automated weather station information (ASOS) (E). All measurements are then recorded (F) and sent to the web (G) for further use. If you would like to become part of a network of volunteer citizen observers, consider joining CoCoRaHs!  https://www.cocorahs.org/application.aspx
