the temp here in dekalb as of 10:42pm on oct 17, is 65 degrees, it went up from 63, is that a bad sign that we are going to get some bad weather?
I see nothing other than some gusty thunderstorms tonight...
Any severe weather should hold off until at least 5am...with that target-time shortly after noon (if it happens at all).
