The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has predicted a Significant Severe Weather Outbreak for Sunday April 27 that includes the Ark-La-Tex area. This is very rare, and has only been issued this far in advance a few times in the past.
With thunderstorms blowing up across East Texas over the weekend, fishing on a lake may not have been the best idea, and could have turned out deadly for the people in this boat.
If you are complaining about all the rainy days we have been having this winter. You might want to stop complaining. Remember the exceptional drought and extremely hot temperatures we had last summer?
That will probably help you feel better on these cool and wet February days...
A tornado watch is now in effect for the Texarkana area until 10 p.m.
REMEMBER...A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS...
