Geos Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Summer Vs Winter... Winter will win! don't get use to those 80F's boys.. { Luckily that's not at the surface! I can handle the chilly 40s for a couple days - Monday and Tuesday. Warmth will be back in no time! It was nice being south of the warm front today. First Daffodil flower popped open today. Winds are starting to turn back more easterly now. Warm front might try to make another run north...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Made it all the way to 84 this afternoon, way higher than expected. Now I'm just waiting for the heavy rain event to begin. It has been a little slow to arrive. The chance of large hail will probably diminish with time tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I did not get any hail or wind last night, but did pick up a nice 1.25" of rain. The grass is twice as green this morning. We have a good shot at another 2 inches of rain today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
