Smith County Weather Report: May 6, 2022

May 6, 2022

By Steve Norris – We expect the showers and storms to be moving out of the area by Saturday afternoon and leave us with a great rest of the weekend with  sunshine and 82 degrees Sunday.   By Monday and Tuesday of next week we are going to be looking at possible record high temperatures  of 90 to 92 degrees.

During tornado season you hear the Torcon index mentioned by the folks at The Weather Channel. The index  indicates percentage the chance of a tornado striking within 50 Miles of the location you are talking about. So as an example if you heard  that we have a tornado index of 5 in this area that would mean a 50% chance of a tornado striking within 50 MIles  of here. Anything from 4 up is a threat but when you reach a level of 6 or above, you know you are in the danger zone. Drop me an email anytime weather1@charter.net
