The next few days will be active across the southern U.S., with a multi-day tornado outbreak expected. The tornado activity is forecast to fade quickly as we head into the weekend.
Last tornado threat forecast until June! The U.S. Tornadoes crew will be heading out to the Plains next week for #chasecation2019. Hopefully Mother Nature will treat us to some nice storms, unlike the travesty that was #chasecation2017. We will be doing our typical daily chase blogs while on the road.
Too many chores to make sure are done before heading out, so we’ve got an abridged version for today. Who knew owning a house came with so much extra work?!
