IMPORTANT NOTE: I’m sorry for the short notice, but with the stable weather pattern over the next few days, I’m going to accelerate a major computer upgrade here at my office. I will be transitioning computer systems beginning at 9am Friday morning.. this upgrade may take much of the day on Friday. As a result, I will rush my updates (forecast and discussion) on Friday trying to get them posted on line before the 9am cutoff time. Other products, including my audio weather webcast, will not be updated until Monday morning / 8 April 2013. Again, my apologies for late notice but I want to get this done over a “quiet” weather period and this way, I’ll have a quiet weekend for the new computer system to “settled down” and get stabilized. Thanks.. tk
