Tuesday, November 15th dawned warm and drizzly. The high was 75 degrees and the low 58. The cold front moved in from the southwest bringing showers and damp air, and lots of clouds. By 5:30 pm, when the top painting was made facing west, the rain had settled in for the night.
The second painting is a study of thunderclouds in the west on Wednesday, November 16th, at 4 pm. The clouds had become more thick all day with thunder and lightning in the early evening and through the night. The torrential rains caused warnings of flash flooding in suburban and urban areas with a total rainfall of almost 2.5 inches for the day.
After another warm day with a high of 70, the temperature began to drop almost 20 degrees to just above 50. As Wednesday night became Thursday morning, that was the high temperature and we are down to 40 now with clearing skies.
In the last image, here is the back of the front, so to speak, as it moves away to the northeast leaving bright blue skies and cool temperatures behind it. This was the view of the sky on Thursday, November 17th, at 4 pm with the temperature down to 40 from a high of 53 degrees.
October 31st was overcast and cool. With only a 10 % chance of rain, there seemed little possibility of trick or treating being wet. When this painting was made at 5:30 pm, facing east, the sky was very cloudy with a little break of blue-gray sky. Dark cumulus clouds filled the horizon in all directions.
By 6:30 pm, prime time for Halloween visitors, the clouds dropped their rain and everyone was soaked. The heavy rain continued until about 9:30 pm. It was only the most determined parents and children who made their way from door to door with umbrellas held high and raincoats over their costumes.
