I am just glad it's during the day this time. It always seems to happen at night, and that bothers me. I can't see the trees!

Think we’re just entering the timeframe for the strongest gusts in the next couple hours. Starting to look like Wednesday might be the bigger story…although it’ll be windy today too.

54.4* this morning 0.45 for the rain since midnight. Spent the weekend pumping water outta the crawl space.....*sigh* Winds been breezy, but only 20mph for the biggest gust on the weather station so far.

I would really like to see some lows come out of the sw and spread good precip across the southern and central plains.

^Trending toward -NAO. The late Nov/1st week of Dec Stratosphere warming has a lag of +35 days to 500mb -NAO, and does start to come into the time range in the last week of December. Pretty interesting, huh? Something that is away and done with coming back in the long range.
