Today, again was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 60s and the sun shining down.  It was windy again, but not as bad as yesterday as the south wind moved past and a cold front approached.  Tomorrow skies will remain mostly clear again, but the temperature will drop down into the 40s as a cold front moves through.  Expect temperatures to remain around that for the weekend with a chance of snow and rain later in the week.

In Oklahoma and Missouri, there is tornado like activity.  Rain and lightening are persisting as north and south winds are meeting together right on the edge of Missouri.  The LI idnex is reading -5.4, which means there is a very high chance for lightening.  The KI is also showing an unstable struve chart with a score of 22.
