Wednesday May 26

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for most of the region. This was first posted for PA, but has been expanded to include all of Maryland, Delaware, and northern Virginia.

The main concern is with dangerous lightning, damaging winds to 60 mph, and large hail. We may actually see a few rotation cells and an isolated tornado.

Sunshine State Of Mind

I am done with the cold and snow (for the season). I am embracing my wife’s mantra of Sunshine State of Mind.

This was designed by Shannon Berk and we will be wearing it through spring and to the beach.

Double Benefit: Proceeds will be split between our nonprofit Just In Power Kids and the development of my new weather website. That has been scheduled to be ready to launch in May.
