Probability for eclipse viewing remains high for much of north central Arkansas
Tornado warning in the Twin Lakes area, heading towards Baxter County. Awaiting NWS inclusion in the watch corridor.
Meanwhile in #TheOzarks, the Twin Lakes area Corp of Engineers has been scrambling to be prepared as possible for the inevitable influx of Eclipse tourists. At present, all state operated campgrounds are booked solid for the event.
Yours truly is opting to fall back on decades' worth of blizzard and hurricane experience: stock up, hunker down, and shelter in place. Screw the idiot convention. Pandemic gentrification already borked the balance years ago

Looks like ETA for the Twin Lakes area is around 5:30. #ARwx #TheOzarks
The highlighted area is under a tornado watch. Whatever's going to happen is still a couple of hours away from my humble blue dot. At least 15 should be safely home well before showtime. #ARwx #TheOzarks
Prescribed burns throughout the Twin Lakes area are giving a sultry warm glow to tonight's moonrise. #TheOzarks
So, @TerraFang 's school district opted for early dismissal today. This is <1 hour of accumulation right now. Safe travels to all affected. #ARwx #TheOzarks
Meanwhile, in town today...
Ffs. SHS & ilk.

Meanwhile, in the Twin Lakes area of #TheOzarks, the upcoming solar #eclipse in early April is getting increased attention from residents in the path of totality.
This video has no audio, but its representation of said path from Mexico to Canada is pretty cool. Enjoy.

Meanwhile, in the Twin Lakes area...
Meteorologists predict we won't break 32°F until late next week. Stay safe and warm, my friends.

Bloody hell. The Twin Lakes area of #TheOzarks will already be overrun thanks to fishing tournament season. Glad my trio doesn't live in town any more!

It's 4p.m. and 54°F on this pleasant and relatively peaceful Monday. The temperature will dip soon, now that the sun is sinking below the treeline. That's fine by me- I'm a fan of hoodie weather. Birds are chirping nearby, and out of the corner of my eye I caught a momentary glimpse of a female bluebird foraging for her supper. Life, right now in this moment, is good.

Good morning, CoSo. The thunder woke me up about 20 minutes ago. #TheOzarks
Much needed thunderstorm rolling in. 22 and his crew are camping somewhere here in the Twin Lakes area. Hope they're gonna ride this one out in their vehicles.
