Highs in the upper eighties all next week. Global warming abomination. The Southern Piedmont shouldn’t see highs in the upper eighties until the end of June.

Blairsville barely sees 80 2 days next week.

@Grand Vol
The Storm Prediction Center issued a rare “high risk” forecast for parts of the Plains, including Oklahoma City. State emergency management officials urged residents to prepare now by discussing an emergency plan and being ready to act.

This type of serious outlook is only issued an average of about two to three times each year.

Yeah, the last time they did such a thing in 2013, an EF5 went through Moore.

We had a tornado flatten a rental property the last time one was issued here. My sister lost her house as well.

Both, but we have a professional meteorologist that works with our company that tracks such things.

Same year one destroyed 400 homes and businesses in my town and in November of all months
