4/17- STORM WARNING- Great weekend, but miserable beyond

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

The good news is that after the showers today, we're going to get by far the best day of the year tomorrow with highs in the 70s and bright sunshine! Sunday looks pretty darn good also with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s and sun. Monday, however, looks absolutely dreadful with a 2-4" rainfall statewide with highs barely reaching 50. Eek! As the odds are now much greater than 50% of a 1"+ rainfall in a 12 hour period...a STORM WARNING is up for midnight Sun/Mon to midnight Mon/Tues. In any event, that cold front is extremely powerful. Unfortunately, with some precipitation around on Thursday and cold air with it...it's not out of the realm of possibility for a wintry mix to occur. That's just cruel. Beyond that, the cold air will still be around for next weekend, and there are some indications that a storm will be nearby a week from Sunday. The cold air would still be in place...so it's worth watching, but it shouldn't be too big of a deal. That said, it could change, and I am watching it closely.

Today in weather history- April 17, 1922- An outbreak of tornadoes in Indiana kills 16 people. One of the tornadoes carries a postcard from Madison County, IN, to Mount Cory, OH- some 124 miles!
