They're thinking an eastern component to any wind will put the brakes on temps in the 50s. Still hoping for a run at 60

This would be great but interesting to note it will take a couple of years to implement - the USA way of doing things nowadays!

As I had hoped temps continued to rise, currently sitting at 66 according to weather station and car thermometer.

Impressive, that's the warm up I'm waiting for, I'm sitting at 58.

Spectacular clear blue skies.... 59*

63 here with less than 4mph SE winds. 49 at the beach with SE at 10. Great day.

Temps busted warm, CPK in upper 60s.

67* here!

Sea breeze pushed by before. Down to 55.

HRRR looks pretty good for some moderate rain most of the day tomorrow.

Hit 67* now falling thru the 60s

Cant believe the difference in temp a couple miles away from ocean its like a 10° difference

How to make a " ° " symbol like 67° After you type the number for the temp hold down the "Alt" key and type 0176 on the number keys, make sure Number lock is on, that's it, there are many symbols you can type by just changing the key code number

all the codes are here

Severe weather in St. Louis today

I have a friend in St. Louis, tornado sirens went off this morning...had a tornado touch down just west of them, and then they were under the gun in the last hour....thankfully no damage where my friend is...TX and AR getting hammered too....

43* and a misty rain.....just miserable!

So far since I hooked up my weather station in mid February just surpassed 8" of liquid total (not counting snow) now at 8.11" with more on the way this week. Growing season kicking off soon as frost looks to end shortly, we'll see if the brief trough gets temps below freezing next week.

Ditto that with he winds it felt like the mid 30's yuck!!

50* and windy - feels like mid to lower 40's at times - who said today was going to be nice?! Not so far. 

Feels like March.

58.3 with wind out of the NNW at 7. Gust to 20mph. Nice and sunny here.

yes its very windy today but overall a nice day. can someone explain this to me. it seems like the last several rain storms that we've had the models have been very consistent in showing each storm more than 7 days out and they turned out to be very accurate. how come the models have such a hard time when it comes to snow? it's very frustrating watching the models correctly predicting the weather now when they had such a hard time in late february and march.

Windy chilly day. Not so great stuck in low 50s with gusty winds. Thurs was unexpectedly warm, good 10* above forecasted highs. I guess today makes up for it.
