Windy Stormy Saturday For Today's Wichita Falls Sheppard Air Show


I had planned to go north to Sheppard Air Force Base on this final Saturday of the 2024 version of April to watch the Sheppard Air Show. 

I watched the Sheppard Air Show my first year in Wichita Falls. It was entertaining. And HOT. It took place at the end of September, that year.

As you can see, via the map gleaned from Facebook via the Wichita Falls Times News Record Facebook page, a wide swath of the Midwest is being stormy today, with Wichita Falls right in the middle of it.

Knowing that today was predicted to be stormy the people putting on the Sheppard Air Show let it be known that bad weather might cancel some of the show. 

So far, no rain, no lightning, no tornadoes. But, a really strong wind blows constantly, with gusts blowing even stronger. I suspect the wind has wreaked havoc with today's air show.

Day two of the Sheppard Air Show happens tomorrow, a Sunday predicted to have pleasant weather...
