Low was 36.0 degrees, currently 37.1/32.8 degrees at 7:30 am with clear skies.

Running a -5.5 for the first week of the month, only + day was the 6th (+2.4 degrees) and looks like Saturday and Sunday may be the only days with a chance at positive numbers thru the next 7 days. Chilly May start.

Nice little rain event this morning! Only 0.01" in gauge at 7 am, but close to 0.10" since then with light rain continuing to fall. Currently 57.3/54.0.

Yep, the last of the piled up snow/sleet just melted off along I-64 between Covington and WV line on the ends/bottoms of the 'chutes' about 10 days ago. NOT surprised there's still some in deeper hollows in Bath/Highland and surrounding areas. Nice find!

Hoping this is the last cold blast of the spring (but probably not) as we have tons of stuff ready to go into the garden down in the basement under grow lights. Amazing the talk of selling topsoil basically right back to the homeowner, that should almost be illegal. @BlizzardNoleout my way. although I live in the 'woods' only 1-5 inches down it is slate and shale. I have placed 2-4" of material over the yard to attempt to get grass to grow, as @CAPEhas said before, looks great until late June. Once it dries and gets hot seems no amount of extra water works or rarely works. @PaleoceneI have mayapple growing in a hollow under large mature oaks and hickory with an understory of wild cherry, been there since I built here 30 years ago.

High 58.0, low 33.8. Although under a freeze warning we got neither a freeze nor frost due to the light N/NW breezes that never became still overnight. Both those temps nowhere near records either, 49 in 1995 and 28 in 1981. Currently 34.0/27.9 at 7:45 am under clear skies with NNW at 5 mph winds.

My numbers for April 2026 Averaged high was 73.2 degrees vs a normal of 66.2 degrees, a +7.0 degrees above average and ties for warmest averaged high for month with 1994. Warmest temp was 87.2 degrees on the 16th. Averaged low was 43.7 degrees vs a normal of 38.9 degrees, a +4.7 degrees above average and is 3rd warmest average recorded behind 1981 and 2006. Lowest temp recorded was 27.2 degrees on the 8th and 21st. Overall averaged temp was 58.4 degrees, a +5.9 degrees above average and slides into 2nd warmest April behind 1981's 58.6 degrees. Total precip for the month was 2.07 inches vs a normal of 3.64 inches, -1.57 inches below average. The wettest day was the last with 0.64" falling. There were only 8 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T' and 19 dry days. Zero snowfall for the month vs a normal of 0.3 inches, -0.3 inches below average. Highest wind for the month was 33 mph on the 2nd and 20th. There were 13 days with winds above 25 mph. One new record, a record high temp set on the 16th. Overall a dry and warm month, second April in a row.

Low was 35.4 degrees, chilly but not a record (30 from 1996). No frost here, but lower elevation and down next to the river it is heavy!

0.38" at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading! Most since 4/2 when 0.51 fell. Brings monthly up to 1.41", still over 2" below normal. Currently 48.8/47.6 at 8 am with very light rain falling.

Ouch and double ouch! Got down to 27.2 here. Currently 38.9/22.1 at 9:20 am. EDIT- on a side note, see that Canaan NWR got down to 8.6 overnight!

I'll go with a solid B here. Only about 80% of climo on the snow, but the 'snowcrete' from 1/25 stayed OTG for a long stretch, almost 3 weeks. Temps were actually nice for once, with below normal for majority of the winter. The wild and strange events in March with the 40-50 degree temp swings and snow after almost 80 was crazy. The 'no A' comes from March and April being almost snowless, had we gotten close to the averages we would have been close to annual snowfall average.

U G H and yuck!

First measurable in 11 days here (a whopping 0.03") fell just before midnight. High was 85.0, not near the record of 90 (and that is the earliest 90 here) from 2002.

Set a new record high for the date at 87.2 degrees, old mark was 85.0 from 2012. Absolutely overly hot for this time of year!
