It Was Fun While It Lasted . . .But Now We Are Past It!
Monday, April 14, 2008NOWCAST- Showers and cooler today and Tuesday, maybe a thunder boomer and small hail. Chilly! Highs way below the season norm of 60 degrees. Say near 50 or so. Any clearing tonight and Tuesday night, expect widespread frost. Best day this week is Thursday highs 60-63 degrees under partly sunny skies. The weekend looks wet and cold with snow down to 500-1,00 feet and MAYBE wet snow at city levels. If computer models are correct but they have been keeping this on the radar scene for several days now so expect some nasty weather by the end of the week.
OUTCAST - Happy Birthday Packy! Today is Packy the elephants' 46th birthday. We share a lot in common, we both have the same birthday!! Packy had his cake yesterday, I'll have mine today thank you very much. For more on Packy, click here.
Snow in April? As mentioned above colder weather arrives by the end of the week. If this were January I would be expecting sticking snow at city levels. If you are in to computer forecast models take a look at these. Number One.
Number Two.
