Many of us dashed between the raindrops once again Monday as another cold trough of low pressure dominated the weather. The good news was that the rain was light, just measurable as of 4 p.m. The bad news was as of 4 p.m. the high temperature was only 54 degrees, some ten degrees below average. We see more rain today before the big warm up.
Yes, believe it or not, Wednesday and Thursday will be the highlights of this year’s weather so far. It looks like winds will line up to bring us highs in the 80s. Then more moisture moves inland later on Thursday, probably starting a few thunderstorms.

Looking back at April, we see 4.25 inches of rain fell in the bucket at Pearson Field. That is 1.24 inches above average. And it was yet another cool month with the average mean temperature at 51.2 degrees, nearly one degree below normal. November was the last month with above average temperatures
