I just got the cheery news that our forecast has been upgraded to a Winter Storm Watch:
Issued by The National Weather Service Memphis, TN
3:33 pm CST, Tue., Jan. 26, 2010... WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MEMPHIS HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH... WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
* THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR 5 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATION OVER NORTHEAST ARKANSAS... AND TO 3 TO 6 INCHES OVER THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AND NORTHERN THIRD OF WEST TENNESSEE. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW AND SLEET... THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR UP TO TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION OVER THE WATCH AREA.
* WINTRY PRECIPITATION IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN LATE THURSDAY EVENING AND PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES MAY OCCUR FRIDAY NIGHT.
I working under the assumption that if I make a Big Deal out of this forecast, it will turn out to be a minor event.
That is how it works, isn’t it?
