Set a new record high for the date of 83.9 degrees, beating old mark of 81 degrees from 2012. Interesting morning here, had two rounds of thunderstorms almost back to back between 4 and 6 am. First one had a 35 mph gust, AND the temp rose 8 degrees (from 56 to 64) in just a few minutes right in front of the first storm.

Was 40 for the low this morning, so if we hit the forecast of 82 that would be a 40+ spread on the high/low for the day. 54.4/39.0 just before 10 am here with mostly sunny skies with some high cirrus floating by.

Currently 46.8/45.5 with fog here at 7:45am. Had a thundershower between 1 and 2 am, but only 0.03".

1994? That is my 'latest freeze', a 32 on 5/28 of that year. It was a chilly month with several rounds of cold and lows in the lower to mid 30's and a -5.1 average.

Well, JUST missed on the record low, hit 17.0 degrees. BUT I didn't realize until looking at the records again this morning that the 32.0 degrees ties the 'cool max' for the day, tied with 2014 now. Currently 18.2/13.1 with partly cloudy skies at 8 am.

Currently 24.1/13.0 at 9:30 pm here after a day of on and off flurries and a high just touching the freezing mark at 32.0 degrees. Record low is 16 from 1993, although NWS forecast is a low of 19, IF we get the winds to calm we could get close to the record.

Almost a nickel this time, lol! 11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 01/17 0.1 01/25 4.5 (mix of snow and sleet) 01/26 2.8 (95-97% sleet) 02/04 0.3 02/07 1.0 02/23 0.2 03/13 0.1 03/17 0.4 Total 20.7

Down to 33.1/30.0 here with moderate snow, lol. I dropped 22 degrees in 90 minutes earlier.

Will those pass thru TSA???

Well, rain is turning to snow here, lol. Currently 37.7/33.1 with NW wind 11 gusting to 30 mph. Temp has dropped 22 degrees in 90 minutes.

Yep, a line from Farmville to Richmond looks good currently. Be safe and have fun!

Things are popping down S and SE of Roanoke into NC, currently 3 separate TOR warnings.
