A source for stormy weather
The tornados and severe thunderstorms are headed my way. One site that I keep open in my browser is the National Storm Prediction center. From their site, I can access more localized alerts and warnings. Right now, it looks like this:
You might notice that the text reads “Map updated at 1951Z …” The ‘Z’ refers to Zulu time, which is Greenwich Mean Time. For my time zone (East Coast), I have to subtract 5 hours to get my local time. So 1951Z is 1451 EST, which is 2:51 PM. The map updates every 10 minutes or so.
I hope that you find this info helpful in keeping you safe!
