It feels like 30 PM right now.

A big downside to this time change is any potential severe weather event in the evening would be a nocturnal event. Making spotting/chasing much more challenging. The March 10th tornado that had occurred, came 2 days after we sprung forward. So that extra hour of daylight in the evening made that storm easier to visibly track & observe. This creates a disadvantage in that type of situation in the fall/winter months. Though peak severe weather season typically occurs in the spring forward time frame, it can occur at any time, any day of the year. But hopefully no such instance occurs. But as we know, it's been a record breaking year in Illinois.

Unfortunately tonight is the night that clocks go back. We do at least get an extra hour of the weekend. But that's the only pro I see out of it. I say let's just get this over with. Spring will be back before we know it!

That potential severe weather system I mentioned a week ago will not affect Illinois. It will stay well to our south in the plains. So no severe weather concerns for our area. But the week should be cloudy & rainy. But no severe weather for the state.

As days shorten, temperatures cool off, & people migrate the indoors to stay warm, I migrate to the cold, icy indoors. Back to the time of year where I practically live in Bloomington 🤣

Happy Friday!
