BE SAFE BE PREPARED!

On Saturday, Drew, Justin and I greatly enjoyed meeting everyone at the Community Preparedness Community Fair which was held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Bentonville. Many people stopped by our booth and asked a multitude of questions about severe weather, safety and tornados. Early on, when the atmospheric conditions in the building were balanced just so, we were able to produce our own tornado which was captured on film by local pilot, Tom Eastman.

On another note... the week ahead is looking wet! The good news is that we may very well end up around average rainfall-wise for the month of March. Right now we’re still at less than a half inch in both Fort Smith and Fayetteville. Average monthly rain is about four inches in both locations. The latest long range data supports rainfall amounts of up to three inches by the end of the week and there could possibly be higher totals, especially in areas that get a few thunderstorms. We do have the threat of possible severe weather by Wednesday evening and into Thursday. We’ll be closely monitoring developments.
