We've been having truly beautiful weather in the Midwest of late. Highs in the upper 60s and 70s with lows in the 50s. Sunny weather with no wind and very little rain has made for a very colorful October.
Well that is going to end in the next 18 hours with the arrival of a massive low. Said low is traversing the Rockies today (see picture above) and will pass by us in Iowa and proceed to create a mini-hurricane. The pressure here is already low - 29.5 in of Hg - and Bubba's ankles (the house barometer) are already tender. The low is expected to drop down to somewhere around 28.5 in of Hg which is basically hurricane pressure. The pressure gradient will be tight - so winds are going to be fierce.
The expectation is for winds to howl out of the west-northwest for at least two days wat ~25 mphs with gusts in the 40s.
Any pretty leaves on the trees will be gone and by Friday when everything calms back down - we should see bare trees. Oh and the time will change. Delightful!
