Severe Weather Possible Tomorrow

Tomorrow may be a good day for amateur radio operators, particularly Skywarn trained hams to monitor repeaters such as the 146.970- and 146.745- (PL 97.4) repeaters. The weather forecast for Wednesday, 13 August 2008 calls for the possibility of severe thunderstorms with damaging wind and heavy rain. Winds could increase up to 23 mph and new rain amounts could be 1 to 1 3/4 inches. Pat Prokop with WTOC advised that the possibility for tornadoes also exists tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a time to remain vigilant and keep an ear tuned to the radios.
