Been busy with our huge scholastic chess tournament the past 10 days and not posting as much(as well as our 6 teams competing in the Scholastic Chess of Indiana tournament-4 made it to the state championships on Mar. 22!).
Looks like we'll top 150 students again this year!

More very welcome rains and snows coming to California but look for the MSM to downplay the benefits and sensationalize any flooding. Amounts don't look that heavy:

This means there WILL BE a regional severe weather outbreak, including tornadoes.
This is the day 5 forecast for Friday morning to early Saturday morning. This will be INCREASED as the time frame to the event shrinks. I am thinking that the Storm Prediction Center will ramp up to at least a moderate risk, which is the 2nd highest level.
The risk for severe weather will be elevated in Evansville late Friday/Friday Night.

Day 5 yesterday, has become day 4 on Tuesday. As expected, they INCREASED the magnitude of the severe weather threat. 30% is the HIGHEST category that they use at this time frame.
Tomorrow, when the threat moves up to day 3 it will be analyzed on a completely different scale and we will see the severity levels more finely tuned.

I'll probably start a new thread on this tonight that starts with this event.
