HIGH PRESSURE CHASE TEAM
Since I am too chicken to chase tornadoes, I entertain myself by chasing high-pressure areas and drizzle. We are watching with both eyes, a high-pressure system beginning to build in the Arctic north of the Alaskan and NW Canadian coast. It could bring a good surge of colder air down through Alaska and through the barbed wire fences in the Plains in coming days. Of course, it could get diverted, but it will be interesting to watch.
