4/14- Nice today, but not tomorrow nor for the weekend...

Good Monday all!

A major rainstorm is on the way for tomorrow, but not before the best day of the year today! Highs will be between 74-78 degrees today, and someone may even touch 80 before all is said and done today with plentiful sunshine. Unfortunately, tomorrow's rainstorm will produce 1-2" of rain as an insanely powerful cold front moves through and drops the temps below freezing...before the precip ends tomorrow night...and everyone knows what that means, and I do expect some flakes to fly before all is said and done in our area tomorrow night. This would be one of the latest snowfalls that I can remember...and there are some indications that it may accumulate an inch or two on grassy surfaces. I also, however, think it will melt very quickly on Wednesday and not all of the snow will stick so there may be no accumulation even if one or two inches falls from the sky and thus there is only a very low chance...10 percent...of a delay Wednesday for schools that are in session this week. The next chance for a large amount of precip comes Friday night and Saturday morning


Today in weather history- April 14, 1921- the greatest 24-hour snowfall in history occurs in Silver Lake, Colorado as, somehow, 78.5 inches accumulate (That's an average of 3.3"/hr!).
