Two Day Severe Weather Event Unfolding

This picture was taken last week in the field I mentioned in the March 14th post. The work there continues, so I'm guessing 5 to 6 homes will be built there soon. I planted some more jonquils and iris this year. Just about every Spring I've tried to add a few more to the front yard. Right now the jonquils are starting to fade, the liriope and hosta are popping up, and the phlox is looking great. I wish I could find a suitable place for more phlox. It really looks great spilling over a retaining wall or stone wall. I'm not sure what kind of tree is out by the driveway, but it's just now starting to pop with the round, pink blossoms that unfortunately don't last more than about a week. I'll try to get a few snapshots of the blooms in the next day or so and post them sometime down the road. Right now the dogwoods are starting to bloom in the valleys, but it seems like atop Signal Mountain the leaves are just starting to unfurl. But the buds are full and they'll pop quickly. I haven't had time to peek around here yet, but the morel mushrooms will also be popping soon. And with a little luck, I'll spend some time next weekend searching for a few. A cool Spring morning spent in the woods may not be heaven, but I'm hoping there's a section like that somewhere there.
A powerful storm is very evident on the satellite images this morning swirling just east of The Four Corners. This is the system that will likely generate at least two days of severe weather. The Plains states and the Midwest today and tonight. The Mid Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys Friday and Friday night. The southeast corner of the country on Saturday. The question here is, will this system have the potential to exceed what happened last weekend across the U.S.? It certainly appears there will be hundreds of reports of wind damage, very large hail, and tornadoes between now and the time this system pushes off the eastern seaboard late Saturday.
Today just a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm with highs into the mid 70s. Quiet weather tonight with partly cloudy skies and lows around 56. Friday starts off quiet with partly cloudy skies. But clouds will thicken throughout the afternoon with highs near 75. I think thunderstorms may not move in until after 8 pm, but when they do some will be severe. And by the time the rain and storms move out Saturday afternoon, most areas will get 1.5" to 2" with locally heavier amounts. Then breezy with mostly sunny skies Sunday. Highs Sunday afternoon will end up near 70. Sunny and 71 Monday.
Posted at the top of the page is the link to get your pre-programmed Storm Alert Weather Radio. We would like to see these become as common in homes as smoke detectors.
