Logic not withstanding, here in north central Texas, most storms and cold fronts come from the west or northwest and occasionally from the southwest. The only weather that typically comes from the southeast is due to tropical storms. I can't remember ever having any weather come from due east or northeast, but I'm sure there are exceptions. My parents live west of me in NM where they often get the same weather the day before I do, except as I mentioned tropical storms such as the remants of Hurricane Dolly which they got the next day instead.
