Hello

Today is on the “Slight Side” of severe weather. As best as we try, I feel images are best shared and universally understood. So, this is what “Slight” looks like when you see it (also the green explains the image above).

I thought I would give you some geek speak, then keep it solvent for my wife.

She hates it when I go “weather geek”. (Insert Smiley)

This is the reason (the geeky stuff) for today’s severe weather outlook July 22nd, 2018

What to expect:

“Wind gusts in excess of 60 mph are possible in the strongest storms, which can cause tree branches and leaves to litter the ground, as well as downing mature trees and power lines.

Downpours can lead to localized flash flooding and create hazards for motorists by reducing visibility and heightening the risk of hydroplaning when traveling at highway speeds.

It is not out of the question for there to be an isolated tornado. While an outbreak is not expected, it only takes a single tornado on a given day to devastate a community.

Some of the cities at risk for potentially violent and drenching storms include Savannah, Georgia; Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Ocala and Orlando, Florida; and Charleston, South Carolina.

Those out hiking, golfing, fishing or boating should keep a watchful eye to the sky and make sure cell phones are on and fully charged with severe weather alerts enabled.” –http://bit.ly/July22SevereWeather
