5/4- Some hail today?

Good Sunday all-

Today's weather looks fine except for a few afternoon storms, some of which could produce small hail and damaging winds! Highs will be in the mid to high 60s, with the 1st warmup of the season coming late week. A lengthy rainstorm is possible Friday with a warm front, and temps could approach or exceed 80! Unfortunately, with that high temperature and a cold front moving through, the setup is perfect for the first truly significant severe threat of the season- if the front times out perfectly, there could be large hail, damaging winds, and at least a small threat of tornadoes...I don't think anyone wants that! However, plenty can, and will, change as we approach this date. The rest of the week, expect primarily dry weather with temps near 70.

Today in weather history- May 4, 2007- The first EF5 tornado in 8 years destroys Greensburg, Kansas, killing 11 people. This ends the second-longest drought of F5's in recorded history
