A Taste of Summer
Monday, April 30, 2018
Temperature: 81 ºF
Sky: Cloud Cover Moderate
Precipitation: None
Wind: N 4 mph
It feels like yesterday that we were hunkering down for the late winter storm of the decade, but today we are blessed with perfect summer weather. April, while not exactly holding to its history of showers, has decided to give on last parting gift. It looks like May not be so nice!
Check out the mess headed for us! Hints of a stationary front with low pressure systems on either side and it looks as though it is tracking straight for us. Tonight and tomorrow should offer our first glimpse at thunderstorms and possibly severe ones. Our high pressure systems of last week are long gone and finally things are going to get interesting. Look at the size of this system reach as far south as the border with Mexico and north into Canada. Take a look at the surface wind activity below. Pretty stark frontal line and you can see why this storm could get nasty. The moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the moisture from the Pacific both feed it. Dare I say mid latitude cyclone?!
I would bet we get some rain and thunderstorms late tonight and popping up throughout the day tomorrow. Lets see some havoc!!
