Currently full sun and 35, nice looking day (so far). Yeah, in the last hour I shot up to 38F (from 31F as a low)....strong April sun blasting.

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Had some good radiational cooling here early this morning and I dropped down to barely 30 (29.5) just after 6:30 am. Have 2 late-blooming lilacs with flower panicles expanding (but with closed buds) that are 2 - 3 weeks too early to be near blooming like this and they appear to be okay so far. I know a hard freeze (28 and below) would have killed those flower buds. The dews earlier this morning were way too low for frost formation (running around 18 - 19 at the temp low) so no frost here. The temp did rebound quickly and it's currently up to 47 now and mostly sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Another beautiful day.....48F, overcast w/pending rain and occasional gusty winds. Pretty much a repeat tomorrow. This Spring has been the gift that keeps on giving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 We are now 0.8" below normal for April Snow and only 30.7" below our seasonal total - at least rainfall wise with our 0.18" today we are not 0.95" above normal for April to date and up to 15.41" of w.e. this year which is 1.97" above normal.

Birds~69 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Yep, really digging it. A standard typical Saturday this Spring. Overcast, gusty winds at times and a drizzle/shower w/temps in the 40s. Bad part, due to the lack of a haircut, I wear a BB cap to keep everything under control....the wind is not cooperating, hat blowing off at every chance.

I was always fascinated by British weather, Seattle weather and wondered why people always bitched? It adds a little fun/kick to the day and not warm/hot. And both locations have produced legendary/outstanding music as well which I'm a huge fan. Of course I would like snow/cold but this is the best second option. Anything beats 90-95F+/HHH days!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People bitch because it sucks. lol For me, it's as boring as a fair weather day, but it makes being outside crap. I hate the heat and humidity as well (except for the thunderstorm byproduct of course), but typical spring weather is great. After winter days with temps 10 - 15 degrees above normal, it sucks to have spring days with temps 10 - 15 degrees below normal. It's not supposed to be 60 in January, but it is in April!

It's been hovering around 45/46F all day. Frost advisory for our area but a freeze warning not too far away (upper bucks/mont county)....my guess is 34F for a low.

RedSky Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 The Monday storm which was expected to miss keeps jumping north. Result is a stronger cold shot arriving Tuesday. The warm up is all but cancelled Mon-Wed. Wed looks windy like today and I bet struggles to hit 50F. Guidance is close to useless at 5 days out now.

Great news in my book... Even tomorrow was predicted 5 days ago to be warmer than our current forecast. Went from mid-upper 60s to my predicted high of 61F tomorrow.

Rtd208 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Another nice day out there today. Its good to see we are at least getting some really nice days between the cooler and rainier days. Current temp 63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Yesterday was a good oven day. My high was 48 after a low of 33. This morning I was right at the freezing mark at 32 for about 3 hours (flower buds look okay so far). High so far has been 62 and that is the current temp, and it is partly sunny, with some light SW breezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overcast now, temps dipped into the 50s and the wind is really kicking here currently. (trash cans will blow around once again as I put out the trash tonight) But damn, I'm pretty pumped about tomorrow...54F high and overcast...sweet! And Tuesday, tracking T-storms, nice. This will bring in colder weather! Low 50s for Wednesday's high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
