Well we are just under a week from May which means two things
1) Start of severe season
2) Consistently nicer weather with warmer temperatures
Obviously given the hemispheric configuration, we're looking a bit unsettled and on the chilly side at times, especially overnight. However, there could be a pretty significant warmup perhaps moving through the second week of May towards mid-month as there are some signals for troughing to return to the west with ridging building east.
