So Wednesday (3/24) we had some very interesting weather and it is my duty as a student to analyze that weather. Well, actually it isn't, but here goes nothing:
According to my best guess, on Tuesday night the barometric pressure began to drop as a cold-front moved towards Lubbock. This change in pressure is responsible for sudden winds we experienced that evening (as the low pressure air came in). This change continued to occur until Wednesday morning (once again, this is my best guess). Then (now watch this) around noon on Wednesday the barometric once again shifted, this time rising at a faster rate. Once again, this change in pressure accounted for the violent (and mild to moderately annoying) winds we experienced during our class period that afternoon. By Thursday morning, the system had pretty much run it's course and it made for a very nice day. We experienced warmer temperatures, milder winds, and nice clusters of little cumulus clouds. Now I'm thinking of switching majors (to meteorology).

Glad you found it interesting.
