Just a quick Tick today because I have my karate lessons later. I do it just for
the kicks.

Hey, what's the deal with another Bob Ross meme? Well, I wanted to use famous
American herpetologist Ross Allen, but I couldn't get permission from his
estate. But maybe, just maybe, Bob Ross' good vibes will make it happen, and maybe
spread it north? Unfortunately, it looks like things will stay south and not
SPREAD (NOT SHIFT!! I learnt my lesson on that one) to the north. But we will
take it nonetheless. As old Bob would say:

"No pressure. Just relax and watch it happen."

Heck, it's raining right now in eastern OK, for crying out loud! (I warned ya I
was gonna say that).

Other than that, with a cold front currently making its way through the state, the
drier air and gusty winds behind it will kick up fire danger into the "elevated"
category today.

Other than that news, we await that cold front over the weekend which
should give us a dose of late fall weather-in addition to the rain map above-with
highs in the 50s and 60s and lows in the 30s and 40s for early next week.

Now come on, give us some of those smooth Bob Ross vibes and bring that rain in
here!
