This is tornado country, and we've already had a few earlier this month. Seems like the atmospheric stew is brewing again today. Yesterday, it reached 66 degrees here and was extremely dry, so dry there was an extreme fire danger advisory for the entire state of Oklahoma, still in effect this morning. By dawn it was near freezing but now, at just past noon, it is 73 degrees with a 30mph south wind, and the humidity is climbing - I can feel it down the back of my neck. As the day continues to heat, the possibility of severe weather increases, and out here on the Southern Plains the thunderstorms are immense, powerful and scary - just ask my cats. Their fur gets all ruffled and they run around the house searching for safety and accepting no comfort.
