MY EYES!




Just a quick Tick today, to celebrate the maelstrom outside. I don't think a
Snickers will fix this one. Winds are already howling out of the south at 30-40
mph, and upwards from there. Once the sun really gets blazing and mixing some
of those higher velocity winds down from above the surface, it's gonna be just
a tad more breezy.





The winds are in response to a storm system laying out west. A dryline will be
located somewhere across the Panhandle or far western Oklahoma over the next
several days, giving the opportunity for a few storms every now and again. Some
could be severe of course, but not a major severe weather threat. But with the
storms comes rain, and that's needed something fierce. And in the right spot, too.



This needs to verify or it's gonna get even uglier.
