Weather *****Severe Weather Thread-2020***** - Page 5

Many may know-I am a weather watcher. I have a weather station at school that posts to many weather services. Also have a website with a Twitter account. (with a Chiefs list)

Below is the Windy.com map. I centered it on KC but it can be moved to where you are located. Or go to Windy.com-there is also an app.
Very versatile and tons of possibilities. This map is fully functional for the viewer.

Some have already had severe weather-where as I am looking at 5 inches of snow for Easter.

I'll be downright neurotic looking at forecasts that week leading up, trying to decide which route to take.

Really hope I can take the shorter one.

8 years ago today was the Joplin tornado.

As someone who has made the drive to KC many, many times, the weather is a welcome thing.

Where about do you live? I just southeast of Butler and woke up to one hell of a storm. Got on Weather.gov to see we were under a tornado warning and I don't ever get freaked out by a storm, but damn I was worried last night. There was one hell of a hook on that storm and by the sound and look of that storm I was sure we were getting a tornado. Luckily the storm weakened and the tornado warning was cancelled.
