Beautiful Friday here
Low 50s, mostly sunny(Google says partly cloudy, but it should say mostly sunny)
Looks like fog season will be ending soon, too!
54f/42f today
Fresno CA
People prefer warm to hot climates over cold climates any day, it’s no wonder so many are choosing to retire there
Well i would take our warm also over a winter up north. But it was fun to see 19f to 24f year after year in the 1980's for a day or two. No way i would want highs in the 20's and lows around 5f for 5 months.
Just that our super hot weather now goes past Oct vs years ago.
Thunderstorms (likely severe) will hit my location in the next couple of hours. I’m personally not used to tornado warnings in January, but they’re not rare in North Texas. The rest of the night should include heavy rain and possibly a few snow showers. The precipitation was needed. It’s been fairly dry the last couple of months.
The weekend will be chillier but still a bit above average. Next week should begin mild.
Next weekend could be quite chilly but still only average.
SPC showing moderate risk thru the overnight hours. Possibility of a derecho was mentioned earlier today. There had been a hatched area of EF2+ tornadoes but the latest SPC update not showing this for overnight. Looking like damaging wind could be the biggest impact.

...SUMMARY...
Widespread severe thunderstorms will spread across east Texas into
the lower Mississippi Valley tonight. Damaging winds are the primary
threat, though a few tornadoes are also expected. Hail will also be
common across south-central Texas.
...01z Update...
Primary changes warranted at 01z are to lower severe probs in the
wake of the squall line.
An elongated corridor of deep convection, approaching 800mi long,
extends from eastern MO - northwest AR - southeast OK -
central/southwestern TX. This band of thunderstorms has matured
along the leading edge of pronounced forcing ahead of a strong
short-wave trough. Over the last few hours convection has decidedly
taken on linear characteristics and this MCS should advance into the
lower MS Valley later tonight. 00z soundings ahead of the squall
line exhibit strong shear with only modest lapse rates. The most
buoyant profile is LCH where 70F surface dew points reside. This air
mass should advance across eastern TX into northern LA/southern AR
later tonight, which should aid environmental instability for the
maintenance of long-lived linear MCS. Damaging winds are the primary
threat with this activity. Greatest tornado threat will be with
pre-squall line supercells, though embedded squall line circulations
should be noted most of the night.
Texas is about to get walloped soon.
Let us know the gritty details once it's quiet and safe.
