0.20 in the bucket here in CNJ, missed the much heavier rains to the north by 5-10 miles. 58 and now 60.

Brief warm up Thu (4/20) - Fri (4/21) and with full sun perhaps a stray 80 or so. Next front and chance for rain comes next weekend Sat (4/22). Cooler period 4/23 - 4/27 overall last 10 days near normal. Not looking very wet overall either. Strong warmth looks to subside outside warmer days Thu/FRo this week for a week or so.
