As I thought would happen out here in the "Valley of the Sun", the temps are steadily being increased in the 10-day and I wouldn't be surprised if we hit our 1st 100F by early next week...maybe on Passover?? Yesterday's highs in the upper 70's were fantastic and it was a perfect day laying out Poolside. Going to enjoy the last day of 80's for a little bit as we Torch midweek into next week!

That Eclipse over Egypt would be such a wonderful experience next to the pyramids! You got me thinking about it...it will be the longest total eclipse in 87 years (6 min and 23 sec)... https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-travel/luxor-2027/

Looks like some bonafide Spring weather heading for Chitown this weekend into next week...I see a string of 70's??? Although, that pesky "Pneumonia Front" is lurking for Sunday afternoon...I dreaded those Spring days where its soo nice outside for the 1st half of the day and in a matter of an hour you have to put your jacket on! In the summer, however, it's a great reprieve from the humidity and HEAT. Happy Friday Folks! Oh ya, PHX hit 94F late in the afternoon...last year's 99F record was close...hope that it ain't a repeat summer this year. My gut feeling is that the SW ridge will be close but not right overhead and more or less east into NM and W TX. "Ring of Fire" pattern is gonna be a HOT HOT Theme in the summer months ahead.

That would be neat to meet some new folks out here in FH...

Time to close this Thread? Looks like the late season rally helped MSP take the cake for this abysmal winter.

All indications are leaning towards real warm Spring weather and temps holding in the low 90's for an extended period starting next week. It was just a matter of time...Summer weather for sure.

My cousin in Dallas sent me this video and telescope pic… MOV_0542.mov

We had 64% coverage and I noticed it got a tad cooler. We also had a celebration for the new Dark Sky Community and an Indian blessing. Pretty awesome.

Good luck and I pray the weather turns our just right...

I just spoke to my nephew who turned 10 years old today and they just arrived into Indy...I believe the race track...what a memory he will have for the rest of his life. Enjoy the show!

Here are some pictures and vids over the past couple days. The first, is a sunset photo from last night… This is another video of last nights Country music show at the park in Fountain Hills… 1EE1754F-7B93-447B-A4E9-0356261D959D.mp4 We found an injured little bunny on 4/4 and would have hoped to see his momma come but she didn’t. I cared for it and the next morning I dropped it off at the Wildlfie conservation in Phoenix. The lady said they get many young animals this time of year. I was told the bunny would eventually be with a whole group of them once it fully recovers from its injury (hind leg). 82246939-5598-4E72-B08C-4C5C2F17A1DC.mp4 The last picture is from this morning as I witnessed this bald Eagle being attacked by two crows earlier. I suspect he stole their breakfast! Nevertheless, this Eagle showed them who’s boss around here.

Hey, who said it doesn't snow in So Cal in April??? It's gotta be that human factor, yay or nay?

No big Deal...just your normal April Blizzard for parts of far western parts of NE...

I thought we would come very close and we sure did. The temp at PHX rallied late, close but no cigar...hit 89F late in the afternoon (4:57pm).... No need to hurry, as we are very likely to see 90F by this time next week...an early taste of some Summer Sizzle...

I believe he was near Carbondale, IL, right next to SIUC…Saluki’s!
