What Is Comming Our Way As In Weather Conditions
What states like Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois will feel from the aftermath is anyone's guess. Once Beryl hits the State of Texas, weather models are expected to travel our way North, hitting the South and Midwest on their way to us here in Michigan, is anyone's guess.
So Far So Good?
The current weather maps show the storm will hopefully weaken as it heads our way, but it won't be that nice to our friends in Arkansas this week. It still could be a tropical depression with Maximum wind speeds of 38 mph or less.
Now I have never experienced any Hurricane conditions. But I have had many Florida friends and family tell me they would rather go through a few painful root canals.
Things To Keep An Eye Out Here
Most worries stem from a problem we deal with regularly here in Michigan: flooding and Flash Flooding, with several inches of rain in a short period of time. On top of all this, we are in the middle of road construction season—kind of a double whammy. As forecasters expect, some of the heavy rain will reach Illinois by mid-week.
When Does Hurricane Season Start And End?
Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30. The National Hurricane Center picked these six months because it accounts for about 97% of all Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes, according to NOAA's Hurricane Research Division.
NOAA Predicts An Above Normal Hurricane Season This Year
