One Raining Moment




So little time to Tick, but let's Tock about our upcoming week of weather. For
temperatures, I'm a bit flabbergasted...FLABBERGASTED I SAY (and that's better
thank being glabberfasted, because of all the oozing), about suddenly having
"normal" weather. Like, sunny skies, temps in the 60s and 70s. You know, "normal"
for early April. Oh, and rain and storms.

Yes, we did get rain. Yes, we did get storms. Yes, we did get tornadoes. And yes,
talking this way is really annoying (much like tornadoes), but we'll definitely
take this rain. Heck, we even have SURPLUSES on the 30-day maps now, for crying
out loud!







Now I know NW OK missed out for the most part.





But this week is their chance for the big comeback. It'll take a few days, but
rain chances do increase as we get into the weekend (of course).





And more severe weather, of course. It's April, after all.





Let's go.
