Foggy, foggy, foggy. About 1/4 mile visibility. Temps aren't bad but I'm betting it won't get as warm as they predicted with the fog sticking around until around noon.
 
Power got knocked out to hell at my high school after a morning storm. Only got power back 30 minutes ago.

And there's a hell of a wind to go with it too.
 
Spring is in the air! Temps definitely on the way up and the rain has backed off. I can feel some car cleaning and detailing coming. ;)

I didn't suspect that the rainstorm that passed by me last night closed down the I-10 interstate at the Texas/Louisiana border. As for my area, I'm expecting more rain overnight and into tomorrow morning. I'll get my hat.
 
25-30mph winds today which sucks, but the good thing is that the temps will drop into the low 70's (F) on Wednesday. 90*F is too warm already, so not ready for triple digits yet.
 
60s in the morning with a high near 80. However, the wind is already picked up at 21 mph and gusts up to 30 mph. The wind is supposed to pick up even more with a constant 26 to 31 mph and gusts up to 55 mph!

It is only supposed to reach about 60 today, but still windy.
 
It's nearly 60°F and our blizzard snow from yesterday is almost half gone.
 
My clean car won't appreciate all the dirt in the air, but that temperature drop is certainly welcome.

Kinda weird seeing "Patchy Blowing Dust" in a forecast. :odd: Guess its probably somewhat normal for the area in which you live to see such forecasts but to someone like me from Michigan, it just looks strange. :lol: I remember when I lived in Texas, I got stuck driving into a big ass dust storm....now that was just down right scary. First time I had ever encountered such a thing and hopefully the last. I actually had to pull over, I couldn't see crap. It was worse than any blizzard that I had ever driven in as far as visibility goes, not to mention all the damn dirt. Anyways, its stormy here in Michigan right now, just had a line of thunderstorms blow through with a pretty good lightning show.

That's Arizona for you, but it tends to get windy often here in the spring.

Then late summer monsoons come around and you get these:
