By Steve Norris – I would suggest you make your weekend plans for Saturday because it appears that will be the best day by far to be outside and involved in activities. Partly sunny skies and a high of 92 Saturday will be followed by showers and thunderstorms on Sunday and only in the upper 70s for the high. I expect we will get back into the mid 80s to low 90s from the 25th of May through the 1st of June.
The month of May can bring the most wide range of extremes in temperatures as any other month. We hit the mid 90s on the 13th of 1962 but on May 4th of 1976 the temperature dropped to the upper 20s. May 7th of 1958 was an amazing day with snow flurries reported in some areas, the latest day that snow flurries have been seen in the spring.
We have two weeks remaining in our Tornado season and I see several chances of severe weather during that time however straight-line wind and hail will be more likely. Drop me an email anytime if you need weather data or information, weather1@charter.net
