Dry Spell to End

The last time we saw measurable rainfall at the Rockford airport was April 8th. That's more than two weeks ago! (Yes, we did see a trace of rain yesterday along with two other occasions this month. But that doesn't add to the tally.) More than 2" of rain fell on Rockford between April 4th and 8th. Despite that, we're running about 0.3" behind normal for the month. The timing isn't ideal for the dry spell to end this weekend, but that's what is going to happen as a storm system mentioned in a previous post moves into the Midwest.

Temperatures this month are also running well above average. We're 8.3 degrees above normal for the month to date! Although cooler air will fill-in behind this system on Sunday, temperatures will be near average for this time of year for most of next week.
