1915 (Tuesday)
Two days after the temperature soared into the 90s, it did so again today. But after reaching 92° shortly before 4:30 (one degree hotter than 4/25), a cold front swept through a few hours later and the temperature dropped to 54° by midnight (similar to what happened two days ago.) Tomorrow's afternoon temperatures would be just in the upper 40s.
1962 (Friday)
In a span of 13 hours the temperature soared from 51° at 1 AM to 91° by 2 PM.
1990 (Friday)
Just like 1962, the day's temperature soared from 51° to 91°. This was the earliest date for a year's first 90-degree reading since 1977 (when it occurred on 4/12).
1994 (Wednesday)
0.41" of rain fell during a twenty-minute thunderstorm later in the afternoon (4:27-4:47 PM). After a cool start (low of 50°), it turned into a warm day as the high reached 82°.

2.07" of rain, a record for the date, brought April's rainfall total to 13.05". This was a morning rainfall, with a little more than half of the amount pouring down between 3-5 AM.
2025 (Sunday)
ReplyDeleteIn the wake of last night's thunderstorm that cooled down a five-day stretch of 70°+ highs, today was chilly and very blustery with winds gusting at close to 40 mph. Today's high was 59°, which didn't occur until around 6 PM, and it was one of just two days in the final third of the month that didn't touch 70° (4/21 is the other day, with a high of 57°).
2020 (Monday)
ReplyDeleteUntil May 8, today's low of 39° was the latest date since 2012 for a low in the 30s. It was also a yucky, raw day with a high of just 50°, overcast skies, and wet winds gusting at up to 25 mph.
