Springing Forward into May

April was a warm and wet month, one of the top ten warmest actually. The 5+ inches of rain was good news as it helped to relieve the dry conditions in some areas. Been pretty nice the last couple of days after a rainy weekend, but sounds like it's about to turn cooler for the end of the week. Long range outlooks showing a chance for above normal precipitation through the middle of the month, so maybe the wet weather will continue. Of course, these same outlooks were calling for below normal precipitation for the same period just a few days ago. Seems like every time I report on one of these outlooks it does a complete reversal the next day. No severe weather in sight for now, but I find it hard to believe this May will be as quiet as last May, when only one warning was issued all month.
