A Record Wet May? May 30, 2007

It will be a close shave whether we can beat out the old record of the wettest May ever set back in 1883! The record is 11.29.” So far, Eppley Airfield is up to 10.42.” So we are still about 0.9″ shy of the record, but well within reach assuming we can get another bout [...]

The Beauty of a 3 Day Weekend May 27, 2007

Ok.. so not everyone has a three day weekend (me included.. I worked all three days that everyone else has off), but that doesn’t lessen the beauty of having three days off of work. What do people want when they have three days off? Nice weather of course… what’s the use of having [...]

Storm System Next Week May 20, 2007

Friends,
It looks like the major storm system for next week will be arriving later than I earlier thought. It now appears like the bulk of the shower and thunderstorm activity will hold off until Tuesday into Wednesday.

Enjoy the warm temps and sunshine! Our next chance for organized severe weather looks like late Monday into Tuesday. This could be a significant event. We’ll need to wait and see.

A Nice Cool Morning May 17, 2007

It was a cool, some would even say “chilly” start today. A Canadian airmass, clear skies, and light winds made the perfect recipe for a mid-May chill.

Wayne held at the freezing mark for several hours. The average low temperature for May 17th is 51.
We have a sunny warm weekend ahead!

Tranquility Base: Great Weather Ahead May 16, 2007

Super fab weather continues….aside from some annoying allergens in the air and a fast growing mosquito problem, there really isn’t much of note weatherwise. The upcoming weekend looks fantastic with temps in the mid 80’s both days. The next chance for any rain or thunderstorms comes late Monday into Tuesday.
