A friend of mine just called me and gave me a link to what looks like a hurricane of all things over South Dakota. Whatever it is, this thing is HUGE and quite scary.
Talk about weird weather.
Here's the link....
HurricaneOn a side note, I don't generally feel strange when I see weather readouts, but this one just has me not feeling so well.

It's really not all that uncommon and have seen this anomaly several times before. I won't deny that it does look alot like a tropical cyclone, a closer look shows it doesn't have the deep convection of one.
It's merely a very symetrical low pressure system.
I looked at winds speeds and barometric pressures around this system and couldn't find any winds over 20-25 mph with pressures nowhere near what a true cyclone would have.
