Spring Forecast.

Severe thunderstorm and tornado watches back west. Big wind all day, and the kind of sky where you know the weather's changing. On the dogwalk this morning, what seems like many, many hours ago now, the dog stopped, stood in the middle of the street, put her nose up into the air, licked and sniffed. She knows, too. She always has. She'll be under the table when we get home.

Possible to see 50 mph winds between 7 and 11 pm, says the NOAA. A band of showers and maybe storms pushing through. Winter's trying to come back around, I think, on the other side of this, but what it looks like we'll have instead is a chillier spring. Sixties tomorrow and Friday. Cooler over the weekend. More rain then, too. No lows much below thirty. The daffodils are going to be three feet tall before the weather's back to normal.
