Mother’s Day was quite nice, but we lost our sun half way through the day. Radar showed some light showers over much of the state but the humidity and dew point was too low for any of it to reach the ground. This morning is sunny and highs should make it into the low 70s. This week should be mostly dry although rain is mentioned in some of the forecasts. We certainly don’t need anymore rain for awhile. Our 10:45…
Our day began with clear skies and moderate temperatures. Now, clouds have taken over but temperatures are quite warm. Winds aren’t too strong so it is a very pleasant day. Each day this week will continue to get a little warmer and mid 80s are expected by week’s end. It’s amazing how quickly everything comes alive with warm air. Our leaves are about 1-2 weeks late this year with all the cold weather that we’ve had. Hopefully, it will be…
The only thing that could make today better would be either warmer temperatures or less wind. Otherwise, It’s perfect. We had light rain and clouds half of yesterday, and even when the rain stopped, it was windy. We still have some wind today, but with the sun, it doesn’t feel too bad. A big warm-up is happening by next Wednesday, and it is expected to be just, plain hot. This happens so often here in the spring. We go from…
We have light rain this morning which is expected to end by the afternoon. The weekend looks great with sun and mild temperatures. Then we are told that it will get hot next week, with an extended period of 80 degree weather beginning mid-week. I don’t think anyone is complaining about that. In fact, some of us were wondering if it was ever going to happen. The ground is saturated and the river is very high, so we need some…
We had light to moderate rain all day on Tuesday leaving us with 0.69 in total. Skies remained cloudy all morning and have become partly cloudy since then. Forecasts are calling for a major warm-up next week, with highs reaching into the 70s and 80s. We’ve waited a long time for this and it certainly will be welcome. I finally put my oriole and hummingbird feeders out today, thanks to a Facebook friend for the reminder. I haven’t seen any…
We get one nice day, then a bunch of cloudy, cold days. Temperatures are in the 50s, so I guess you can’t really call that cold, but it sure isn’t where it ought to be for early May. I should be out cleaning out my flower beds, getting them ready for planting, and I just can’t get motivated. Yesterday was quite nice early, then clouds moved in and we got some light rain. There was only 0.02″ in my gauge…
After a dreary, cold, damp Saturday, our Sunday is turning out much better. We had fog and a little drizzle this morning, but now the sky is showing signs of clearing, and we are getting a few peeks at the sun. Temperatures have even made it into the mid 60s and that’s very welcome. Rain remains in our forecast for later today and I’m hoping that it misses us. It is a bit breezy but I don’t mind a bit…
Although our temperatures aren’t where they should be, it still has been a very nice morning. There was a frost but since nothing is planted yet, there was no harm done. The early spring flowers, which are in bloom, don’t seem to mind the frost. There isn’t any precipitation expected today, so it’s a good day to be out and about. The next few days, as well as the weekend, should be much warmer, and hopefully, the spring weather will…
It is now 1:30 pm and our temperatures haven’t even made it into the 40s yet. I don’t think that they are going to. Highs today are expected to reach the low 40s, and if the sun comes out, it just may happen. Regardless, it’s much too cold for April 27. Last year on this date, the temp reached 78°F. Yesterday was also cold and windy, which made it feel even colder. We had a few sprinkles but hardly enough…
Compared to the last few days, today is miserable. It is cold, damp, and windy. We have had a few periods of sprinkles but no significant rainfall today. We had a little rain yesterday but the temps were much warmer. We still have another day like this before we will have a warm-up. The National Weather Service is predicting a cooler than normal May for our part of the country. That will leave a lot of uncertainty as when to…
