The weather was warm, and a lot of heat was warmed the ground. That means thermals could have been a good possibility for Thursday. Once again, another storm is going to come through the area. This one is a very slow moving storm. That is an area of low pressure.
Winds rotate around a low pressure center counter-clockwise.
There is a little pocket in the storm where there is no rain. This storm is the big weather story for this week. After that, the forecast is for things to get even windier. Later in the week, the sun will be out in abundance. This pattern of sunshine should last right into next weekend.
