Winter-time Wobble Makes July Cameo
In the shallow, dense layer of cold air behind the cold front of late last week, a couple of Mesonet stations picked up on a phenomenon the Ticker referenced a few times over the winter.
At the time, in a fit of hasty zeal, the Ticker called the event a "winter time phenomenon". Perhaps it would be more appropriate to refer to it as a "shallow layer of cool/cold air at the surface" phenomenon. In its own defense, the Ticker would like to point out that it is currently the dead of winter in Chile.
Regardless, the phenomenon was captured fairly well at the Waurika site last night:

Notice the "sloshing" phenomenon in the wind, temperature and (arguably) the pressure trace came in a tidy one-hour frequency last night.
