There are trees down in the District of Columbia and throughout the region. These photos were sent to me from AccuWeather's Carla Johnson Calis who lives in the area . She reports the warnings were timely and accurate.
More details. It was a 4-year old boy in Maymont park. Maymont is a beautiful, wooded park located in central Richmond. How or why a 4-year old would be outside in a park in that weather yesterday, goodness only knows.
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
As much as 6 inches of precipitation (rain + the moisture content of snow) is forecast in the Sierra of California) during the next five days. Given the rain they've already had the past 30 days, it equates to an early start to the California rainy season.
The tornado forecast is unchanged from yesterday. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes and the hatching indicates they could be strong. During the next three days, more than five inches of rain is forecast to fall in Iowa (orange). The result is a serious flood risk over Iowa and into northwest Missouri in the dark blue. In the pale blue, there is a lesser flood risk.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you saw it or not, but a young child was killed by a fallen tree in Richmond yesterday.
