Tornadoes and damaging winds are likely Easter weekend

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/10/weather/easter-weekend-tornado-storm-forecast/index.html

(CNN) "A severe weather outbreak is possible this weekend across parts of the South.

According to the Storm Prediction Center (SPC), "tornadoes (potentially strong/long-tracked) and widespread damaging winds are expected to be the primary hazards."
The threat stretches from Texas on Saturday to Georgia by Sunday night.

An outbreak of tornadoes appears likely on Sunday
"Easter Sunday could be a very dangerous day in the Southeast," CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said. "All of the ingredients for severe weather are likely coming together. You have strong low pressure, strong wind shear, ample Gulf of Mexico moisture, that could lead to multiple tornadoes across the Southeast."
When these ingredients come together, the threat increases for a severe outbreak, with long-track, large tornadoes. The worst of the storms will occur from the afternoon through the overnight time frame."

Dozens of churches, packed with Easter worshipers, struck by tornadoes in South East, and it is all Obama's fault.

I'll bet a dollar to a hole in a donut that none of the judgmentals will be talking God's righteous fury for these natural disasters.

Last week, we had temps in the 80's, 60's at night. Tonight is supposed to be 35. May have to cover my tomatoes. Guess its a good thing I haven't cleaned out the wood stove yet.

Happens all the time, though... Old Man Winter's last gasp.

As soon as it melts, everything that sprouts from the ground explodes into growth. We put the shovel away with one hand, and grab the weedwhacker with the other.
