The weather, currently.

Increasing clouds and cooler.

What a way to start the first full day of spring! Although Tuesday will not be quite as nice as today, be sure to enjoy it, because we have another wet and windy event on tap for midweek. Tuesday morning will start with some sunshine and a wake-up windchill near -5°C. The clouds will begin to increase by late morning, but we should climb up to 6°C. The wind will be light from the South 10-20km/h. Tuesday night: Mainly cloudy with some snow showers developing by dawn and a low of -1°C. —Anwar Knight

What you need to know, currently.

Around 15 million people in Texas were under a severe weather watch today, Monday, March 21. Early reports in Jacksboro, Texas say that a tornado caused major damage to a school and nearby buildings. Tornado watches in the region will not lift until late into the evening.

Meanwhile, the storm is on its way south with more severe weather in store on Tuesday across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Tuesday has the highest chance of tornado outbreaks. There is a high likelihood that vulnerable communities may be impacted by these storms.  If you or anyone you know lives in this region this is a good time to brush up on tornado safety.

This system will head further Southeast into Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas on Wednesday.
