Duchsinse | 5/9/2012 -- Weather overview = clear over 3/4 of USA -- Severe over 1/4



website post with the creepy PBS ray bradbury movie here:http://sincedutch.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/592012-weather-overview-clear-over...
It sure seems like a VERY long time since we saw this large of a clear area --- no severe weather in most of the lower 48!!!
Im reminded of this old PBS short movie called "All summer in a day" .. original book by Ray Bradbury ... where it rains all the time ... kids have never seen the sun ... and the sun only comes out once every so many years... then in one day.. the sun comes out... (depressing warning.. this story is kind of sad actually .. movie linked below)..

Its time to take a deep breath and finally relax for a day --- here in St. Louis Missouri... mid 70 degrees Fahrenheit w/ "little fluffy clouds" ..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHixChYgGRI
In South Texas and South Arizona -- we see hail detected along with a few strong cell thunderstorms ..... as well as on the far east coast (at the Georgia / South Carolina border also Florida) .. extending up the east coast to New York in non-severe cells --- eventually heading out east off shore.
The west coast low pressure system pulled north into Canada / British Columbia --- will eventually come down to the southeast over the next day or two.
In the Southwest Arizona / New Mexico ... the mini-low pressure system will most likely come back ENE over mexico / AZ / NM / TX and possibly into OK. Hail and Damaging winds (possible tornadoes) as it heads ENE.
Use the links at the site below to monitor severe weather or the possible outbreak over the next two days -- also just to see the beauty of a clear map for once!
