posted daily OVER THE NOON HOUR  (CDT)

View from Interstate 55 overpass at 1250th Avenue. Storm clouds from the northwest skirted to the east of Logan County on Monday afternoon. The forecast indicates that we may not be so lucky this afternoon. With a cold front once again coming from the northwest and expected to meet warm, humid air, there is a strong possibility of severe weather.  [picture by Jan Youngquist] click on picture for larger image
