1. I am starting to work on the summer forecast. As I tweeted this morning, one of the issues will be the El Nino and just how strong the El Nino will come on this summer. Most of the climate models say that a weak El Nino should be underway by summer. If that's the case, what we typically see are cooler temps in areas of the Midwest that are right now having well above-normal or summerlike temps. We also see numerous severe thunderstorms and nocturnal storms hitting the Midwest and Great Lakes. In fact, while tornadoes are low, you see an uptick in wind damage across the Midwest and Great Lakes. I hope to have maps ready next week.
2. Below are the maps for Today and Saturday's storms. Impacts will mainly be hail and gusty winds, but with any upper-level low, quick-hitting tornadoes can spin up in the storms.
