Unbelievable heat in the Plains this afternoon somewhat akin to mid-summer. Look at these numbers from 1:00 pm observations:

96 degrees at Wichita Falls, Texas with 30 mph wind gusts
93 at Abilene (Dyess Air Force Base)
93 at Graham, Texas
91 at Vernon, Texas with winds gusting to 35 mph
91 in Lawton, Stillwater, and Norman, Oklahoma
90 in Oklahoma with 24 mph winds

In contrast, colder air was moving down from the NW. In Cheyenne it was 44 degrees with winds gusting to 56 mph.

Ah, the month of March!

No 90's please. We want a high of 70 and low of 50 for about three months! How about ordering that up for us JB? Thanks so much
