We’ve been busy setting up new “stuff” including the national severe weather outlook and the “get the warning before the warning” Tweets.

The new national weather outlook is updated twice a day and it tells you where we thing the greatest risk of severe weather will be during the next few days.

Our OrrCast Tweets alert you to severe weather before NWS warnings are issued — most of the time. We miss a few, but not many. We think you’ll like knowing about the threat of severe weather 30 minutes or more before a warning is issued.

It looks wild next week.

Getting Stormy!

rcweather — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:48:43 +0000

This kind of weather makes us want to do a few February weather workshops here in Rapid City – daytime highs have been in the 50s here and even the low 60s. Unfortunately, it ends Thursday.

That’s because there’s a series of storm systems lined up across the Pacific that will be punching across the U.S., beginning now with the Pacific Northwest.

Here’s the video blog:

The southern Plains will get heavy snow today. The snow will move across the lower Tennessee River valley tomorrow before the storm system heads out to sea. Meanwhile, very cold air will surge across the Great Lakes and Northeast.
