Noticeably cooler after tonight though.

Went through some farmland that had some sort of little plant sprouting. Winter gardening/farming is more common than I thought.

Im outside and winds are picking up. You can sense something is brewing. Mostly because its not a typical West or North wind from a front.

Winds are off the ocean so a storm is starting to brew and get closer.

Gonna be interesting tomorrow

Lucky, wish I could get in on the fun. Unfortunately mother nature has cursed me.

Tornado Watch here until 6 AM. Nothing has moved in the area yet but I do see a squall line around Lee/Collier counties that's moving in this direction.
