Good Idea, posting this thread.......do y'all wanna make it a "sticky"???

[ElkHunter]

Well, the powers at be would like to only see one sticky and we already have two. I think this would be pushing the limit a little too far.

We're not allowed to bump threads. Woops, I think I just did. haha

Actually, for the next couple of months, there will be enough weather alerts to keep this at the top. Specially if we get it state wide and not just from Sheridan to Gillette in reports.

The last couple days, it's been in the low 50's here. Rain on and off, just plain chilly and we're still churning up tornado's. What's going to happen when the weather heats up?

[Kristynwy]

For those in the Sheridan and Buffalo area... temps are supposed to dip down in the 30's... so far they are saying upper 30's above freezing.. but it may be possible to dip down below freezing...

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up who has plants outside...

Is 0115 hr in Cody & is 41 now - dropped 6 degrees in the last 2-1/2 hr; still getting into high 30's at night here...MIGHT hit 70's by ths wknd - we'll see. But yeah - is still cover your garden time...

[Kristynwy]

Got below freezing last night...

This isn't in our area... but on KOTA news they were talking about a EF2 Tornado that hit in Iowa and injured a bunch of Boy Scouts killed 4.
If anyone is interested here is a link to the story Tornado Injures Boy Scouts

There is a severe weather alert for Big Horn County Montana. High winds and quarter sized hail.

Currently the Storm is located North East of Hardin about 16 miles. The storm is moving South East.

This storm is tracking almost the same track as the storms last week that tracked straight on down to Gillette.
