  Bring your umbrella...or your bathing suit!

  Good morning everyone!

  Up early for Fox and Friends First which I do every Thursday and Friday now incase you’re up at 5am!  

  Today’s forecast is pretty active.  We’re watching storms in the Northwest, Midwest, Great Lakes, parts of Texas, the Gulf Coast and the Northeast/Midatlantic!   Here’s a look at the risk for strong to severe storms today and tomorrow:

  

  

  And if it’s not rain, it’s above average warmth sizzling across a big chunk of the country:

  

  Ok time for some coffee and then maybe a little nap under my desk!  LOL!

  Moderate Risk for severe weather tonight

  Janice Dean | Meteorologist

  Good morning everyone!  Happy Friday!   Just watching the Shuttle Enterprise landing at JFK.  What an amazing sight!    Laura Ingle interviewed Leonard Nimoy which was extra cool as well.

  Just a heads up today if you live across the Central Plains – we have a “moderate” risk for severe weather across Eastern KS and Western MO later this afternoon/tonight.  Some of the larger cities like Kansas City, Wichita, Joplin, Salina aren’t in the bullseye, but are close enough to be threatened:

   

  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  Hug the ones you love!

  Record highs and risk for strong storms....

  Janice Dean | Meteorologist

  Hello everyone!

  Happy Hump Day!  Can’t believe it’s almost Wednesday.  Even more crazy:  next week it’s MAY!   My little Theodore is walking more and more everyday.  So proud of him!

  In weather news, we broke many records yesterday across the Central U.S. yesterday. 

  

  The heat is going to subside today and tomorrow bringing back more seasonal temperatures…

  

  

  Some stronger storms could pop up later on today across the Ohio Valley.  Not looking for a severe weather outbreak, but folks in these areas should keep an eye to the sky!

  

  That’s the latest for now…hope you guys are all doing well.   If you’re up early, or can’t sleep, I’ll be doing weather for Fox and Friends First!   Thank goodness for our hair and makeup team here at Fox.   4am does not look good on me! LOL!

  Have a wonderful day!

  A wet weekend for the East...HOT in the West

  Janice Dean | Meteorologist

  Hi everyone!

  Happy Friday, first off!  I’m looking forward to starting my weekend with a nice long NAP!  I love doing the mornings on Thursday and Friday, but I must admit that without a nap, this weather lady would be pretty grumpy by 5pm!  LOL!

  Taking a look at the weather maps,  a few things of note: 

  A storm system pushing across the Central U.S will bring the threat for strong to severe weather for parts of the Texas Gulf Coast:  

  

  The same storm will also bring scattered showers from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi Valley.  We saw a few inches of snow across Northern Wisconsin this morning. 

  This weekend this system will push across the East Coast bringing very heavy rain.  Some computer models are predicting as much as 6 inches by Tuesday:

  

  This is good news for the drought, but bad news for folks who like to spend their weekends outside! 

  

  And HOT HOT HOT over parts of the Southwest – flirting with record highs for Phoenix!    Ice cream for everyone!

   

  Have a great weekend!

  Storm moves east...and it feels like August along the Coast!

  Janice Dean | Meteorologist

  Hi everyone

  Devastating tornadoes across the Central U.S this weekend.  Over 130 reports of twisters – and the damage is extensive.  Luckily this time, we had plenty of time to warn people – and I do believe the death toll would have been higher if we didn’t have the ability to alert people in advance.  It is still so heartbreaking to see people’s homes and livelihoods taken from them in just a matter of minutes.

  Thankfully, this storm is winding down, however, we still have a slight risk for strong storms across the Texas coast and up around the eastern Great Lakes as this system pushes east.  Some of the rainfall totals around the Corpus Christi area is staggering.  Over a foot (!) of rain has fallen in less than 48 hours!

  

  Ahead of the cold front partly responsible for these devastating storms, record breaking temperatures are making it feel like August across the east coast.  Take a look!

  

  This is not a heat wave by any stretch.  Temperatures are going to drop substantially in the next 24 hours.  87 in New York today.  65 on Wednesday.

  Very happy to hear all of our regular bloggers who live in the South are ok after this weekend’s horrific storms.   Let’s hope things calm down for a little while…

  Thoughts and prayers to all those affected by this weekends storms.   I’m just thankful most people headed the warnings and took them seriously.

  JD
