Looking at the national weather map, it appears that the storm chasers won’t be bored today.  Unfortunately, these storms seem to keep attacking the same areas almost everyday.  Plus now many of the affected areas are dealing with flooding as well.  One YouTube forecaster said that grapefruit size hail will be possible with some of these storms.  I sure hope that the livestock in these areas have somewhere to go for shelter.  As for us, we’re supposed to see some sun today, but no sign of it yet.  At least it’s supposed to be dry today, with no rain expected until Thursday night.  It would be nice to have a week of dry weather.
