here ya go.

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.

Cold then warm, gray skies, windy, wet...like the first graphic says, just
go back to bed!
