      April 2026 Observations and Discussion

      After a warm summer like high of 80 yesterday I had an overnight low here in my yard of 60. At 7AM I have a temperature of 62 with clear skies. Today there is a good chance of showers with temperatures expected in the mid 70’s the weekend looks to be mostly dry with highs in the mid 60’s. There is another chance of showers on Monday. The high on Monday looks to be around 70 then it should be drier with highs cooling down into the 50’s lows during the next week should be in the 40’s The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 80/49 that high of 80 was the 4th warmest for any April 23rd. There was no rainfall the highest wind gust was 21 MPH out of the S. There was no significant weather conditions. For today the average H/L is 62/41 the record high of 86 was in 1915 the coldest high of 37 was in 1919 the record low of 25 was in 2015 the warmest low of 66 was in 1915. The most rainfall of 1.46” was in 1957 the most snowfall of 2.4” was in 1980 the most snow on the ground was 1” in 2005 and 1980. Some weather history for April 24th. 1908 Severe thunderstorms spawned eighteen tornadoes over across the Central Gulf Coast States claiming the lives of 310 persons. The state of Mississippi was hardest hit. A tornado near Hattiesburg MS killed 143 persons and caused more than half a million dollars damage. Four violent tornadoes accounted for 279 of the 310 deaths. The deadliest of the four tornadoes swelled to a width of 2.5 miles as it passed near Amite LA. The tornado also leveled most of Purvis MS. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)1989 Twenty cities in the central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Russell KS was the hot spot in the nation with a reading of 101 degrees.

      April 2026 Weather In The PNW

      FWIW... the ECMWF showed basically zero rain for Randy's area for the next 10 days. Also shows some showers from Seattle southward on Monday. So it's not that bad. Usually those apps go the other way and show endless rain when reality is much brighter and drier.

      The app forecast is so bad LOL. Pretty much all of the Euro ensembles have at least some rain falling next week.

      Oklahoma twister was downright humbling. That was a big fellow. Hope everyone made it through.
