Quiet as a mouse around the Alabama countryside at 4:30 this morning. Not a single shower or thunderstorm.
But that will change as the day goes on, especially by this afternoon as more showers and thunderstorms will develop, numerous at times.
The weather never did completely settle down across the Plains and Midwest overnight. As daybreak approaches people are waking up to this:
* Severe Thunderstorm Watches in effect all the way from NE Oklahoma to Chicago.
* A Tornado Watch for a part of Lower Michigan.
* NWS/Indianapolis has issued another Flash Flood Watch
* Flooding across Iowa, especially the eastern part is historic.
AND WAY FAR AWAY
103 below zero at this hour at Vostok, Antarctica! No early morning walks with the dog there…
