It wasn't at the time, it's 9PM now, I'll see what's going on

Nothing here now, light breeze, a erry silence

Just came back in, no thunder, no lightening, and no rain here yet (Castor & Wyoming)

KYW says it's raining here, I can't leave my desk to check but took a look at the radar, it looks nasty and it looks like it's headed your way

Time of day and time of year probably had a major part of why it feel apart. Lost daytime heading and the instability goes bye bye. This time of year, dew points arent up in the upper 60's and lower 70's like in the summer time, where a squall line can keep going well past nightfall.

We had a southeast flow during the day, causing more stable conditions.
