April Obs

Yeah we would be 3-5 degrees below normal for a high if this was mid Jan much less early April.....

Wow that's insane.. Hope everyone with gardens covered their stuff up. It's incredible how we are getting some good cold now when it's early April and we are ready for spring lol. Last night when I went to bed temp was already 34 here in the Knightdale area so I would guess we made to the upper 20s also.

I didnt look at my tomatoes I figur I know where they are headed, oh well will be back at Plant and Seed Sunday to reload and get my peppers etc....my wifes roses have tons of buds on them they are a bit hardier but I am not sure they will do much....

Yeah easily gusting 40-50, saw several Bradford Pears split off up the road and several larger branches down and even a tree over but it looked rotten, still the wind has that hard gusting feel to it with quick burst of heavier winds typical this setup with the strong mixing....had this happen earlier in the season before we dried out there would be trees down all over.

only 45 at 9:30 that means we got to see 18 degrees of cooling toget to the forecast low of 27...also the longer it takes the fewer hrs spent in the danger zone for plants etc

Indeed the winds seem to be helping. The atmosphere has not yet decoupled; winds here in Fountain are still running 8 mph at 1:30 a.m. That may be why the temperature is still several degrees higher than indicated in the matrix forecast. So maybe we won't be as cold for as long as feared.
