One last freeze tonight and hopefully that is it until fall. Already down to 38 here. Only under a frost advisory but we always get a few degrees colder here in the valley.

Was under a severe warning earlier. Nice surprise, wasn't expecting much action here. Lots of thunder and gusty winds. Picked up 0.16". Perfect for new grass seed.

Quite a bit of thunder out of these tiny high-based cells. See-through fall streaks of rain beneath high-based updrafts, and quite a bit of lightning. Getting some 40mph gusts beneath one right now, but rain is pretty wimpy.

Nah it's gonna suck ass.

12z Euro shows snow mixing in with the showers on Thursday over much of Iowa and surrounding areas. Just awful.

A freeze here this morning with 31.

We forked.

0.04" from some light rain earlier. Brings the final April total up to 7.52".

Very nice. Gonna be some awesome scenic snow capped mountain views at Banff Springs golf course deep into the warm season.

Hopefully it'll be awhile before Canada's smoke arrives to milk out the skies.

Looking ahead we are going to have frost potential as late as May 10th. I'd hold off planting a garden for a good 12+ days. Even if the frost is light/patchy the plants probably wouldn't grow much anyway with these cooler temps.

As expected it was a non-event for the entire DVN cwa. Another bullet dodged.

Impressive wake low winds today. Didn't realize it was that bad whilst at work. Several large limbs and partial tree sections down here in town. Unfortunately the house blocked the wind from hitting the weather station directly.

Nice morning soaking with 0.73". Brings April up to 7.46". Maybe some bonus showers later but main show likely over.

Hopefully we can get a decent rainfall tomorrow morning with the crapvection, as the afternoon stuff looks like a non-event for this area. Been a nice and rainy past month or so, but sort of a drier stretch coming up for the next few weeks. Still have ground to make up for that abysmal Aug-Feb stretch of dry weather.
