In like a lion, out like a lamb. A kinder, gentler rest of March. Mostly.

After a wintry first week of March and a wild Thursday with multiple severe weather watches and warnings, wind damage, radar indicated tornadoes, and street flooding, we have a few cool days followed by a warm up and generally quiet weather for at least a week or so.

The first half of March was decidedly lion like in the Ohio valley while most of the last half of March will be more lamb like, and spring-like.

 

TORNADO THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WIND ADVISORY.

There is an enhanced risk of tornadoes and severe storms this afternoon and evening. High winds are very likely. The main factor which could limit tornado formation is instability. The longer it stays cloudy and rainy, the less likely are tornadoes. Still, many other ingredients are in place. Pay attention today and take watches and warnings seriously.
