			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure it was obvious, but yes, the Forecastronic was, in fact, an April Fool&#8217;s joke.  I hope you enjoyed it.  It was a fun introduction to this blog for a lot of folks &#8212; kind of a kickoff as we get going here.  <img src='http://blog.charlestonwx.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   While the main page has reverted, the Forecastronic page will <a href="http://charlestonwx.com/index-forecastronic.php">live on for posterity</a> (though it won&#8217;t be updated).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve reverted the site a bit early, though, because we might have trouble tomorrow.  Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html">Day 2 convective outlook</a> from the <a href="http://spc.noaa.gov">Storm Prediction Center</a>:</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.charlestonwx.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/day2otlk_1730.gif" alt="Day 2 Convective Outlook" title="Day 2 Convective Outlook" width="582" height="408" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34" /></p>
<p>While a majority of the action is going to be concentrated in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia (where a moderate risk of severe weather is forecast, which is pretty significant), the bulk of the energy which could foster severe storms may move into the Carolinas &#8212; and the Charleston metro &#8212; after midnight.  This is something we&#8217;ll want to keep a watch on, as large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado threat all come packaged with this system.  Expect rain and some embedded thunderstorms during most of the day Thursday, with a gradual worsening of the weather into the night.  RADAR already indicates some shower and thunderstorm activity to our southwest moving eastward, so there&#8217;s a fairly decent chance of some thunderstorms tonight.</p>
<p>These nighttime systems are especially dangerous because most people are sleeping, so it behooves you today to make sure that you are prepared for the possibility of severe weather.  A NOAA Weather Radio is always a good choice.  Have that severe weather action plan ready, too.</p>
<p>I know that there have been a couple instances this year where severe scenarios haven&#8217;t panned out the way they were expected &#8212; and this one could be no different hence the &#8220;slight&#8221; rating (which we&#8217;ve had several times this year).  However, the nighttime threat does prompt the need for a little more caution and watchfulness tomorrow night.</p>]]></content:encoded>
