Pressure: 29.28

well the weather is pretty crazy right now and throughout this weekend.  Yesterday was beautiful a strong south wind brought nice warm air up with it, which is currently fueling the current storm system.  it look like were going to get hit with by a strong well developed thunder cell last night, but it shifted just to the south of us at the last  second and we only got a small amount of rain.  This morning was warm and muggy, but the humidity burned off by 2, however the sky still looked threatening all afternoon.  Then oddly the sky cleared completely,  the sun went down over a clear blue sky in every direction. it's rare to see blue bird skies while under a tornado watch thats for sure.  Right now the clouds look to be moving in but its hard to tell since its dark, but the wind is picking up and i think the temp is starting to drop, all indications of an approaching storm.  the radar is showing a very strong line of storms passing through the cities right now.  However the south wind is slowing the movement of the storm system.  Were seeing storms right on the convergence of a low font where all the warm air is moving over the top of the cold arctic air and creating sever storms, not just here but all across the midwest.  Last night 5 people were killed by a tornado in oklahoma and there looks to be equally powerful storms across the country right now.  

 Clear skies from earlier today...Weird
