DWPS MONITORING POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER SOON
By: Oswald
As rain showers continue, the weather service is now monitoring for potentially severe weather this month.
According to the DWPS, recent forecast models have indicated the probability for severe thunderstorms soon. In general, the dream world has been observing light to moderate rain with rumbles of thunder. However, things could soon pick up.
"We're picking up signs in the data that suggest the weather may begin to deteriorate in the coming weeks," Neige, senior meteorologist at the DWPS said, "It's likely that skies will darken a bit more as the rain and wind pick up."
Severe thunderstorms are accompanied by heavy rain, gusty winds, frequent lightning and hail, according to the DWPS. In extreme scenarios, storms can become tornadic, and produce a tornado or two. This is rare, but the DWPS is monitoring for anything drastic in their forecast models.
“Springtime thunderstorms are known to be pretty significant,” Neige explained, “Most of our advisories issued throughout the year occur in the spring. Most of these are issued within the District, but can extend to the rural dream world too.”
Looking at the data of the DWPS from last year, there were 213 advisories issued for severe thunderstorms, 95 advisories issued for flash flooding, and 24 advisories issued for tornadoes. So far in 2024, there haven’t been any advisories issued for severe thunderstorms or tornadoes, but this is likely to change soon.
“This is the point in time where we really have to ‘lock in’ and monitor for storms to go severe,” Neige said, “With this in mind, it’s important to have ways to receive warnings from the DWPS if things deteriorate. Whether it’s by cellphone, television, radio, or some other way, make sure you are able to receive emergency notifications for the weather.”

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL FASHION SHOW IN THE BAG
By: Arial
Another fashion show has wrapped up and fashionistas are calling it a success!
This fashion show, which was once again hosted in the Cafe’s book room, ran for one week. In that week, many participants showed up to show off their best looks. The themes ranged from circus to vintage to even the future!
“It’s been such a lovely experience to witness everyone get to show us their bold fashion statements,” Rouge, the main organizer of the event said, “I saw lots of wonderful outfits! I’m sure the participants had a lot of fun!”
Rouge says that his favorite theme of the week was animation.
“The animation theme really brought out a lot of people!” Rouge explained, “I’ve never seen so many people show up for a particular theme. It was nice to see fictional animated characters of all kinds! I think we broke a record for attendance that day now that I think about it…”
While the fashion show was a huge success, it had to be wrapped up after a week. The cafe’s book room was quickly transformed back into its regular look.
“It is sad to pack everything up so soon, but that’s the longest we had for our permit,” Rouge said, “That’s not to say we didn’t enjoy every second of it! I always have fun organizing these events. Fashion is a way to express yourself and letting people express themselves through fashion was incredible!”
When asked about the possibility of another fashion show, Rouge just winked and gave a simple response.
“The success of this fashion show determined the fate of any future shows,” they told me, “We’ll leave it at that. Thanks to everyone who participated!”
The Cafe’s book room has been returned to its normal look. Visitors to the Cafe can now expect less crowds and wait times while the upstairs book room is quiet once again.
