4/29- A Chilly but Fond Farewell to April...May starts wet

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE- WE MADE IT!

Today is going to be a rather unpleasant day in the weather world I'm afraid, though. Highs will struggle to reach 60, and showers will be occurring on and off throughout the day...although they should generally get lighter the longer the day goes on. Tomorrow looks like the better day of the weekend- clouds will be clearing, leaving us with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s...and I doubt anyone will mind that! As time goes on through Sunday though, rain will break out across the region. It could be heavy at times, especially in the evening, as a coastal low wraps up very close to the 40/70 benchmark. If this was winter...we'd be looking at a major snowstorm. It's not...but we can still expect gusty winds, highs in the 40s and heavy rain on Monday. That's just unpleasant...I know many people who would rather have it snow instead of that! Looking beyond that...the temperatures look very cold and the weather unsettled. One of the models even suggests snow showers Thursday night...I don't buy that yet for sure...but if it did occur, it would be the second latest snowfall ever recorded at Bradley.

Today in weather history- April 29, 1905- Somehow, the town of Taylor, TX manages to receive 2.4" of rain. Not impressive? Think again...it fell in a fifteen minute time interval. That's absolutely incredible, and a testament to how intense rain can be if you get into a highly unstable atmosphere and have a disturbance in the area.
