Warm Weather, Stormy Weather

What a fabulous day in the wake of yesterday's storms. The high of 87° was the warmest day we've had since last October:

Tomorrow could be our first 90° of 2015. But along the dryline to the west we'll watch for strong storms to quickly develop in the afternoon. There is even a risk of tornadoes with these storms:

By late day/early evening those storms will move into the Metro area. There will be a strong cap in place so they should diminish in strength some, at least the tornado threat will drop significantly. But large hail and damaging winds are possible with these storms:

On Monday a Pacific cold front helps push in the dryline. Both could produce another round of powerful storms. Winds, flooding rains and large hail will be the main threats:

On Tuesday we could get another round of a cold rain but no severe weather. We are expecting a cloudy day with highs staying in the upper 50's and low 60's:

With more rain in the forecast it is turning out to be a remarkable April in regards to rainfall amounts. Already this is the wettest month in the last three years:

After that there is a significant shift in the weather pattern. We should enjoy some dry weather all the way into the first week of May:
