Ended up with another .11" from last nights little rain event. Sitting at 36 this morning, so perhaps a light frost in colder areas closer to sunrise.

Celtics pulled all starters with 8 minutes left. I’m a Sixers fan but that is bizarre. Never seen it in an elimination game. Forget that, I’ve never seen it in a playoff game. They have quit in the 4th quarter in the last two games.

Today will be our 7th consecutive below normal temperature day with our temperatures remaining below normal through this weekend before we warm to above normal by Tuesday. We then turn cooler again for the rest of the first week of May. Overall, the long-range models see a chillier than normal month with some models continuing the relative chill into June. We have some slight shower chances tonight with rain chances increasing toward the middle of next week.

Low of 34 this am. With another frost/freeze possible Saturday night up here. I had .60" of rain with the Wed rainfall. Looks like another .25 possible tonight. There is no drought conditions in my location, but just to my east is in moderate conditions.  So we absolutely need more rain. Especially as we head into summer.

I know a lot of folks are hating this pattern. I for one, am loving it! This time of year, these temps aren't brutal where you can't handle it. 5 to 15 degrees  below average; is manageable when the average high is near 70 for most locations. Im all for holding off those extreme summer temps as long as possible. The inevitable death ridges will be upon us soon enough, for months on end. Then we will be begging for relief. :).
