A Spring Day Is Born

Got the blahs? Has this gray weather given you a case of the Netherlands? Seattle?
The Arctic Circle? Well, we do have some warm weather coming up, I promise!

"All ya gotta do is trust me, right? That's all you gotta do."

Now have you seen the movie? It doesn't end on a good note. And ours might not
either if you look at the outlooks for next week. This stinks of a possible mess,
with all the disclaimers of how far out it is, it's tough to forecast that far
in advance, especially winter weather, etc. etc.

But before we worry about an impending bread and milk shortage for early next
week, let's worry about the toast and evaporated milk problem we might have
across western Oklahoma this week as we dry out, winds pick up, the temps go up
as the humidity drops. Yep, fire danger. As with all things looking forward,
this could change a bit. Watch for fire danger today across the western
Panhandle, but then gets a bit more serious with the warmth and more wind on
Wednesday and Thursday (same old scenario...strong DRY cold front for Thursday,
which kicks up warm southerly winds ahead of it, cool down Friday).

So we're blah, then excited in a fiery way, then blah again, then excited about
a mad dash to Braum's for early next week.

Stay tuned!
