I enjoy riding my dirt bike. I try to take it in to work everyday (it's street legal), but lately it feels like I'm getting blown off the road. Ditto for driving the truck on open roads. The wind has been kickin! And I'm not the only one to notice. I was hanging out with friends and the talk turned to the weather (as it so often does when you get old.) My buddy's flag got blown off his pole, and he's yet to find it. The kite flying, however, has been excellent! So what gives with the breezy beast?

I turned to the expert...Rob Perillo with the Storm Team 3 Weather Lab.

According to the master, "Our gusty southerly winds have been feeding the very active severe storm season to our north this month.  Late March through late April is typically our windy month but has been more gustier with the very robust storm systems that have been rolling out of the Rockies and missing us for the most part to the north.

Typically we get a lot less wind as we head into mid-May and would expect the same this year."

Thank goodness.
