_______________________________Check out the weather from yesterday May 12, 2010 (Wednesday). There was a whole string of storms reaching as far northeast as southern Wisconsin/northern Illinois to as far southwest as Texas. I didn't check on how things have been for central Texas this week, but I know the tornadoes have been hitting Oklahoma quite a bit. I am curious how vineyards have held up down in those parts.
A couple of photos regarding the weather of the past 36 hours or so, courtesy of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (NOAA). These photos are simply gorgeous.
The weather right now at 1:14pm on Thursday May 13, 2010 is 71 fahrenheit, with an expected high of 75 degrees. We'll find out soon how warm it gets. The sun is out, here and there. We are expecting more rain today, but not on the order of what Michigan is getting right now according to the map immediately above. This could be the final week of 37 degree temperatures. Chicago may have turned the corner and carried on into summery weather. This doesn't mean that chilly 40's won't be with us, but the 30's might have seen better days.
