5/6- The Wettest Day Yet

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE-

Today is going to be the wettest of all the days we have experienced this week- highs will not reach 60, and we'll be dealing with widespread showers all day as a storm system stalls out to our south.For the weekend, tomorrow looks a bit better than recent days- showers are still possible, but not nearly to the extent we've had the last few days- it's even possible that the sun makes a brief appearance during the afternoon hours. We will surely see the sun on Sunday afternoon but...there's going to be a rather heavy rain event in the morning as an arctic front moves through the region from west to east...sending the temps through the floor to near freezing on Sunday night- don't be surprised to see a frost advisory- before we finally clear things out for Monday and Tuesday before rain returns to the forecast by Wednesday with gradually moderating temps...eventually reaching above average by midweek.

There are 9 days until the Pacific Hurricane Season.

There are 25 days until the Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Today in weather history- May 6, 1965- The area around the twin cities of Minneapolis/St Paul gets blitzed with four F4 tornadoes...all of which in the same vicinity. One town...Fridley...gets hit by two of them (including the exact same trailer park, which took direct hits from both) Overall, 12 people are killed and $14.5 million (1965USD) in damage occurs.
