Also has plenty to do with cool Canadian air meeting with the gulf air loaded with moisture. Right now it still feels like winter in SD. Forty degrees and the coldest April in years. Oh It’s almost June, and it’s still cold.
Lots warmer here in SW WI, but still too wet to till the garden. Ground is squishy, but not as bad as some years I recall, when it was like walking on Jello.
April and May were both colder than has been the rule for the past 10 years or so, but it is not out of line for what I recall of the 70s.
Right. Storms happen when cold air meets warm, moisture-laden air. If we were getting Global Warming, then the North would be warmer, but the tropics would stay about the same. If we get global cooling then the temperature difference between the north and tropics will get wider, resulting in much more violent storm activity.
Stand by because there’s another cold front heading your way. We’re supposed to see a 15 to 20 degree drop in temps here in Reno overnight so I’m pretty sure that the same cooler air is headed east to meet up with some of that liquified air from the gulf. Mother nature at her nastiest could be rearing her head again in a couple of days in the plains states. If you have a shelter, use it.
