Did anybody notice the nice fast southward plunge of the present cold front which is about to barrel through OUN this evening?
On Amarillo's radar about half an hour ago it showed this very well, with a VERY fast-moving arched line in clear-air mode south of the radar moving at high speed to the south. This is our next cold front - as it seeps it back much faster southwards over the higher terrain.
On satellite, it was possible to see before the sun went down a corresponding arc of occasional clouds push its way south over the Texas Panhandle.
On surface obs, it was evident that this arc represented the cold front, with all obs north of Lubbock showing strong 25+mph winds out of norhterly compass points.
Quite cool....... 8)
