In spite of very warm temperatures, it isn’t pleasant to be outdoors because of the strong winds.  Yesterday broke the record for high temperatures, and I think it will happen again today.  This clashing of warm and cold temperatures will bring some nasty weather to the central regions of the country.  I’m hoping that it doesn’t work it’s way to us.  At this time, this system is expected to weaken as it moves our way.
