Happy St. Patrick's Day,
Before we get to the weather and some astronomy, there is a Drunk/Texting Driving Warning in effect.
Please do NOT drink/text and drive on any day, but today is one of those bigger days. This is in memory of all of those who have been injured or killed in drunk/texting while driving accidents.
One of those people was Nathan McDuffie, who lost his life in a drunk driving accident around 35 years ago.
Here is the astronomy part of the blog.
Residents in northeast Ohio heard a loud boom early this morning. It has been confirmed that it was a meteor breaking up in the atmosphere, causing a sonic boom.
Click here to watch a video of the meteor, but you need to wait for all 22 seconds.
Now to the weather part of the blog.
A strong warm front is on the way and will move through Tuesday. This will bring a return to much warmer temperatures and likely one record high.
You can see the strong warm front in western Kansas around noon today. It was 66° in Goodland, Kansas, 24° in KC and 14° in Madison, Wisconsin, with a thick snowpack.
Details on the warmup are in the 6-minute video below.
Have a great rest of your week.
Stay healthy.
