NOTES:
Here are some reports of damaging winds and hail from a few thunderstorms that became severe, or others that came close, late last week. The severe activity was isolated, but it did happen even around here.
The National Weather Service in Nashville is still doing Weather101 classes, free and enjoyable. Looks like they are doing rip currents, tsunamis, and hurricanes next month.
Meanwhile the Huntsville office has compiled a review of last year's significant weather events.
And the Birmingham NWS offers a look back at the tornado outbreak of April 15, 2011. This actually felt like a big deal until the far worse outbreak that occurred a couple weeks later that year. This one mainly affected Central and South Alabama though.
As usual, if anyone has any feedback on the attempts at Spanish, please feel free to leave a comment or send me an e-mail. I put a lot of effort into that when I do it, but like the meteorology, it is mainly self-taught. So there are going to be gaps in my knowledge. Usually I use Google Translate and then fix all its mistakes. Seems like a natural extension of fixing all the mistakes these computer models make in forecasting the weather and trying to read between the lines, figure out what it's really going to do.
DISCUSSION:
Today has been a quiet day across the country overall, but they do have some low-end severe thunderstorm potential out in Texas up through much of Oklahoma and into Kansas this evening and tonight.
Average rainfall totals for this forecast period are expected to remain light, less than a quarter-inch even for Northwest Alabama up into Southern Middle Tennessee, and for the rest of us, less than a tenth of an inch as a rule. The major rains will be over the Midwest, Mid-South, and the Eastern Plains, where they'll have to watch for flash flooding issues along with the multiple chances for severe thunderstorms. The risk of flooding is on the low end via WPC guidance, so hopefully a lot of those folks will just get beneficial rain. Does look like a high threat for large hail in the storms, and also some potential for damaging winds and tornadoes. We can still have severe weather in May around here, especially the first couple weeks of May, but as of right now, there are no signs of that in the Southeast/Tennessee Valley any time soon.

Chris, do better. A lot better. https://t.co/hh5gXV4x0j pic.twitter.com/EDJcXACxKg
And a respectful salute to Bree "Sunshine" Smith for gracefully standing up for herself on social media. That requires a special knack. I still am trying to figure out why nobody harasses or threatens me. I can't even remember the last time somebody demanded to see my tits. And when I'm struggling with my weight, sometimes they can look about like a woman's. I refer you to Rodney Carrington's concerts archived on YouTube for further information.
