...Near record temperatures possible across parts of California and theDesert Southwest...
Ongoing heavy rainfall and strong to severe thunderstorms across centralTexas this morning will continue drifting slowly south and eastward today(Wednesday). The greatest chance for severe weather and heavy to excessiverainfall will be across central and eastern Texas where both WPC and SPChave highlighted this region within a slight risk for flash flooding andsevere thunderstorms, respectively. This system will shift into the LowerMississippi Valley by Thursday with again a threat for severe weather andheavy rainfall, mainly concentrated along the central Gulf Coast. Showersand thunderstorms, with locally heavy rainfall, will also extend northwardWednesday and Thursday into parts of the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys alonga slow moving frontal boundary to the north. Temperatures across much ofTexas on Wednesday will be relatively chilly with afternoon highs 10 to 20degrees below average (particularly across western and central Texas),with warmer air arriving by Thursday.
Elsewhere, a low pressure system lifting through New England will bringrain or a rain/snow mix to the region on Wednesday, while a cold frontdropping through the Northern Rockies will allow for showers andthunderstorms to spread across the Northern/Central Rockies on Wednesday,and into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest by Thursday. Temperaturesacross much of the West and into the Northern and Central Plains will bevery warm through the short range as an upper level ridge expands acrossthe region. Daytime and nighttime temperatures averaging 10 to 20+ degreesabove normal would approach record values (mainly across parts ofCalifornia and the Desert Southwest).

Andy's Wx Site News Update

I have been busy to be doing things, on my own with no support except my family, friends, Adult Proctective Services, and being linked to a Indipendant Living Center for help me learn life skills. A bit an update, I have Autism Spectrum Disorder and its said to be severe. In orer for me to recieve services such as group home, I need to get testing for it. My family had never wanted me tested for some reason. So I have more issues then these. I am Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Confirmed Audeotory Processing Disorder. Then not confirmed yet but is questioned by a doctor while Andy was in jail for a bad meltdown, or head bang meltdown. By the way I was on 8 day head bang free Meltdown and stared Day 9 today with one and stopped it afer seeing me. But needed bit extra help from crises services. I had a night mirror for the abuse I had gone through at my parents house. I wont go in details on this. For those people who helped me in jail, I need to thank you for help and I was trying so much and never had any help before in my life. For my to learn meltdown control in 3 weeks of practicing a self calming skill by an easy flow chart. I will share the picture later here as I will need my computer for it.

I am going to be getting my new desktop I built later today, and the things I need to fix my laptop as it had somethiing with a virus on it. So I am also getting myprofessional Microphone for my blog, and my router as my hotel room has a RG45 Connector. RG45 is not RG11 this is the phone cable, I am talking about the techncal name for the eathernet cable to connect router to modem or router to computer. In my first video, I am going to share new updates to my Andy's Weather Site far as new blogs go. I am going to throw a bit of a teaser here. I am going to do some custom graphics for my forecasts and custom maps and things to have better user expierience. Also in any web update I will have a new conversation topic foremat, including a intro teaser, and a intro that is short, and grapics, and a trivia question for you to answer, then a preview of any planed blogs or forecasts. On good weather days plan a daily recording of the National Weather Forecast, then the short term out look for Buffalo, NY then extended detailed weather forecast with few weather data maps to show you how we makke forecasts. I will also be doing any updated inclimate weather conditions on both an urgent pre-recording blog, and severe weather live stream blogs. Stay tuned. I will be doing a web series on weather safety once in a group home to share an actual ways to be safe and practice drills for tornadoes, flooding and should be like a fire drill that you and your kids should be doing. Me being autistic I can  say having repitition safety drills is very important to praactice in invent of actual emgency. In a video, I love to share a night time drill where power is off, and stimulated resque. The knowing how, what to do before tornado happens, but what to expect about the resque and if  traped how long to be resqued, and what will happen after being resqued are important for us to know the unknown as much as possible because a meltdown could happen for this and does happen to me. In very short term, I will be updating my disater check list for you  download, and a page with simple steps and tips to  keep you, your family, your nighbors, and your pets safe.

I am going to do a weather forecast in a bit and will include the severe weather including tornado, wind, and winter threat part on this Mid-March like storm system. Stay Tuned it should be up and running in around or just after midnight pending on the length of video and my hardware now renders videos much faster as I upgraded my desktop into much faster computer and better graphics and I may have over killed my computer far as the graphics because I wanted something that I would not need to upgrade later and that it would help me with faster video rendering.
