storms

The summer forecast for Texarkana is calling for hot temperatures and near-normal rainfall.

Looks like that cold front is finally knocking on the door of Texarkana. I'm running out to get some last minute errands done before it hits, namely filling up my vehicle so I'm not out battling the cold, windy conditions this afternoon.

Where were you when the storms rolled through Texarkana and the surrounding communities on Monday, April 11? I was getting gas so luckily I was parked under an awning when the hail hit as my video shows below but when the winds blew through. That's when things got scary.

There is a 30% chance of thunderstorms today in the Texarkana area. North of our area has a greater chance of storms and at an increased intensity.

It has been a busy week for storms in our neck of the woods. Monday, Tuesday and even overnight on Wednesday, which was unexpected. I had to pull a tree out of the road to get to work Wednesday morning. This is what the storms looked like from my back porch:
