I'm gonna be honest with ya...Daylight Savings Time kicked my behind this year (and I said "behind" because I didn't want to say "butt" in the Ticker). Usually when we do the switch, I take it in stride. Part of that is because I woke up yesterday to a cold, windy and wet day, and that's basically what the forecast is for the next 3 days. Not everybody received rain over the weekend. It was another one of those I-44 storms (if you were NW of I-44, you were out of luck by and large).

And that area of the state definitely needs some rain.

Well, here comes the rain and gray skies. We'll even have a flood risk across far western Oklahoma, which would go a long way to dampen their drought risk. "Dampen." Get it? I didn't either.

At least we'll see temperatures start to rise through Wednesday before our next front, then we'll start the process all over again.

And Wednesday will be windy! Not sure how your umbrellas will work that day, so maybe a face shield of some type is in order.
