Apparently KUSA/Denver's news anchor Kyle Clark isn't the only one for whom images of snow-covered patio furniture are annoying. The hilarious video of his rant was removed from YouTube in the interest of not violating a copyright law.
If you were watching Eyewitness News/WEHT during continuous severe weather coverage Sunday afternoon or were listening to the simulcast on WBKR, you may have heard storm spotter Christopher Conley talking with WEHT Chief Meteorologist Wayne Hart.

The National Weather Service in Paducah continues to forecast a very stormy Sunday afternoon and evening. Much of the tri-state remains in under a MODERATE RISK for severe weather today, while areas north of Interstate 64 (where Tornado Watches have already been issued) are under a HIGH risk for dangerous storms, which could include long-track tornadoes. Here's the latest forecast . . .
It doesn't appear that Sunday is going to be a day for rest in the tri-state. A major cold front is bringing a significant chance for severe storms.

Eyewitness News meteorologist Wayne Hart tweeted this video of footage from Typhoon Yolanda, which smashed into the Philippines yesterday with 195 mile per hour winds. Watch how quickly the flood waters rose in Tacloban City. This is pretty frightening and, for the city, the second massive flood in just three years.
Ugh! The forecast this week is made up of two words: HOT and HUMID! And one person in the tri-state who is no fan of that uncomfortable combo is Kizzy, who called The WBKR Waking Crew to discuss just how unpleasant our current conditions are making her feel. Listen!
On the first day of my vacation, nearly two weeks ago--geez, has it been that long already?--we left before the sun and encountered an incredibly dense bank of fog through most of southern Indiana.
