Severe Weather?

When I sat down at my computer this morning to check my daily weather forecast, I expected to see sunshine icons and nothing more. So, I was quite alarmed to see a “Severe Weather Alert” scrolling across the top of the website. I clicked on it – to read things like this:
… NEAR RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT…
…MORNING LOWS TO AROUND 60 INLAND AND INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S CLOSER TO THE COAST…
STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS… TV… OR YOUR LOCAL NEWS SOURCE FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE….
Sweet! If this is severe weather, give me severe weather every Friday!
Severe weather must always come with advice and precautions – so what are the precautions today? Check in on your elderly neighbors and loved ones to make sure they’re not too comfortable? Be sure to leave your pets IN your car for five minutes while you run into the store?
In all seriousness though, I am very excited about temps in the sixties. Bring on the severe weather!
