[Virgo10]

That doesn't look all that bad but the clouds outside are soupy.

...ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY... A WINTER STORM SYSTEM WILL ORGANIZE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES AND WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT INTO THE REGION LATER TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT AREAS FROM TAMPA BAY NORTH BETWEEN NOON AND 2 PM. MEANWHILE...A FEW HOURS OF SUNSHINE WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 70S OVER THE INTERIOR OF WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. THIS WILL HELP TO FUEL ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THE MAIN AREA...AND SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE. THE MAIN THREAT TODAY WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL. AN ISOLATED AND SHORT LIVED WEAK TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT...BUT THE HIGHEST TORNADO THREAT WILL REMAIN NORTH OF OUR AREA.


A weak tornado? Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for the heads up. We've got some high clouds here with sunshine. Doesn't look like nasties are heading our way, but they sure are.

Guess I better get my butt in gear and get my scripts NOW!

Thanks for the warning.

It is looking pretty cloudy and getting darker outside.

I hope my inlaws are OK; they live in Brooksville.

Well even after your wonderful warning that the weather was coming this way. I got stuck in it at lunch time and now I sit here soaking wet at work.

I thought I could just run in and out of Target (I forgot my umbrella in the car).

The soaking wet look is not a look that I wear well. Espeically at work.
