Still cannot get over last night. Although not the best show with the naked eye, the views thanks to cameras were absolutely spectacular. Seeing them has always been on my bucket list, but I for sure thought it would require some travel. Just amazing to be able to see them right here at home.

Beautiful Weekend Ahead, Northern Lights Rumors?
A very nice Friday unfolding. I got the privilege to caddy a good friend of mine in a disc golf tournament this morning, got to enjoy the nice weather and some discs.
Our dry and mild weather will continue throughout the weekend. All outdoor activities look great. Steeplechase, any Mother’s Day plans, all look splendid.
Dry Weekend Ahead.
Dodging Showers + Storms This Weekend, Unsettled Next 7 Days.
Tonight Kicks Off Our On/Off Rainy Weekend.
Non-severe shower + storms will move into our area tonight and stick around throughout the day Friday.

HRRR model (above) shows a break for most of us by around lunchtime Friday. However…

More showers + non-severe storms are expected to develop Friday afternoon and evening. This particular run of the HRRR model shows a majority of the activity dodging us. Now this would be super cool if it does, but I’m pretty sus on that. If going to one of the many, many available outdoor activities tomorrow, not a bad idea to have rain gear + a back-up indoor plan in case a shower/storm decides to make its way to you. If you are downtown tomorrow, you may end up having to dodge some storms and chairs.
Rain/Storm Chances Return Thursday Night.
Temps will yet again return to the upper 80s Thursday, getting close to the 90° mark.
An unsettled pattern will settle in for the weekend, with rain chances beginning late Thursday night.

HRRR model above shows rain entering our region late Thursday night continuing thru Friday morning. A break Friday midday, with more rain/storm chances Friday afternoon/evening. Fingers crossed we can be dry before all of our Friday evening outdoor activities (which there is a lot of). Still too much uncertainty to try to nail down any ETA/ETD, we’ll keep you updated. No severe weather expected.
It’s Gonna Be May (and Very Warm).
As we wrap up April and begin May, we’ll be dry and temps will be well above average. Hopefully our showers last night can bring May flowers.

Wednesday and Thursday, high temperatures are expected to reach up into the upper 80s. Thursday looks like the best chance to hit the 90° mark, which would tie the daily record high set back in 1901.
