April Review, Etc.
* Before we get to the review of April, let's talk today...The large mass of heavy rain is now crossing the Mississippi River, and is moving eastward. Based on radar, I would expect that to start impacting western parts of our area (along and west of Miss. Hwy 15) sometime around or just after sunset.The shield of heavy rain and thunderstorms will likely reach the Highway 45 corridor between 8pm and midnight, pushing into west Alabama after midnight. These are rough estimates, so keep in mind they could change. Also, these estimates are taking into account my opinion that the mass will begin to slow as the upper trough becomes cut off.
* As we start to approach May, let's look back at April...What a warm month. 24 days (out of 28 so far) saw temperatures reach the 80 degree mark. We broke 90 twice, both of which were new record highs for those dates (April 18 and 19). Also, it was rather dry (up until tonight)...22 out of the first 28 days of April featured no rain at all...
* Before going, I would like to sincerely thank the great folks with the Naheola Pride BBQ team for their wonderful hospitality to some of our weather crew yesterday evening. They let us sample some of their FANTASTIC ribs, and even taught me how to properly eat crawfish. Great stuff!
