It's too bad the southerly flow started tonight here. We'd be easily in the single digits if not negative numbers.

It's been awhile .. in fact, the air was so dry, the FLOOR shocked me at work this morning ... everything I touched with the slightest hint of metal shocked the beegeezus out of me ...

High Temperature was only 39º, and the 2:00 pm (lowest RH value of the day) was 13% humidity.

single digits would be an absolute bet w/out southerly flow .. already a hint of S flow here tonight, and the humidity is UP to 41% (with a 12º dewpoint. Quite a rise in TD's in just 8-12 hours w/out anything to lock down the AH in the East.)
