4/24- Still cold

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL-

Unfortunately, though, it won't be pleasant in the least. A FREEZE WARNING is up until 8 this morning, but it'll be for everyone again tonight as temps will plummet into the HIGH 20s and low 30s statewide, even right down to the shoreline. Ugh. Anyway, at least we won't be dealing with the precipitation from yesterday. For the most part, it came down as rain and an odd form called graupel-or frozen snowflakes, which I've only seen once prior in my lifetime. Pretty darn cool. Anyway, the weekend will be brisk but dry. Some mixed precipitation is possible on Monday, but it won't be a big deal. A bit more mixed precip is possible on Tuesday, but it may well be mostly (if not totally) rain that time. Thursday holds the next chance for some shower activity...and then Friday could be very interesting, but let's not worry about that- it's still very far off.


Today in weather history- April 24, 1899- A tornado picks up two women, a son, and a horse, carrying them a full quarter mile- high above church steeples...until it gently sets them down gently, leaving them totally uninjured in a field. That happens sometimes in tornadoes, but it's quite the tale, considering that the vast majority of people are not so lucky!
