NOTHIN' LIKE APRIL SNOWFLAKES, EH?

It's a minor thing, this cold shot incoming that will drop our temps from a high near 80 today to a low near 30 Thursday morning.  But before the cold arrives, we have pretty gusty winds coming in today and tonight, along with rain and possibly some good rumbles of thunder.  Cooler air invades for Wednesday, but more showers will be possible.  

It's the overnight hours into Thursday morning that the cold air aloft can keep snow mixing in with the (limited) rain to the surface, and maybe a temporary accumulation before melting.  Roads should be fine given the warmth of the ground and the not-so-low temps...and in case your jaw is open, we have seen snow here in May.  This is just one of those. "Aw, I was enjoying the great spring weather...". 

Good news is that the temps start to rebound after a chilly Thursday and Friday, with Sunday being the pick weekend day with sunny highs back into the mid and upper 60s.
