A moderate risk of severe weather is set for a large part of the Plains from northern Texas through western Kansas. A slight risk of severe weather is posted for much of the rest of the Plains. Please be aware of local weather conditions and prepare yourself, your family, and your neighbors for severe weather.

NOAA's assessment of the National Weather Service's performance during Sandy is out. It's an outstanding report, which, if implemented, would significantly improve communications during landfalling hurricanes. But, there are a few areas where some more thinking is required.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea will continue to shift northeast along the Atlantic coast. Heavy rainfall will spread across the Northeast focusing in on a narrow axis along I-95 to the coast. Rainfall amounts in this region may approach a max of 6" in some select area. Minor gale force winds are also possible along the immediate coastline. Little to no storm surge threat is likely for the region along with little to no severe weather due to relatively stable air.
