Thursday Evening...

Tragic situation with the tornado that hit the Boy Scout troop up in Iowa. My prayers go out to all involved. Here is come information from the National Weather Service on the EF-3 tornado.

Smoky conditions have prevailed today over the Triad and Triangle regions. You can go to this website to see a couple of live images from across the state. Easterly winds pumped the smoke right in today, and that will continue tonight. But, I expect some improvement around the Triad tomorrow as the wind direction shifts around to more southeasterly and southerly.

Scattered showers and storms also fired around the Triad, and we could see a few of those linger tonight. While an isolated shower or storm looks possible tomorrow and Saturday, I think most spots remain dry those days. However, a frontal boundary will drop in a bring a pretty good chance of some showers and storms for Father's Day.
