It is April. This is what happens in April. I remember the April 1974 outbreak very well. I was 9 and we spent 24 hours in the basement. There were 148 tornadoes in 24 hours from the Gulf into Michigan and Ontario. The late April 2011 super outbreak was similar.
When winter is still settled into the northern States and the warm moist gulf air begins to flow north all hell breaks loose. I live in Michigan. Weve seen the high 60s already in March but we are expecting snow for the second time this week on Friday with a high of 38 and low of 28. That will bookend a high of 55 today and then going to 65 on Monday.
Central Oregon weather is always volatile but this week has been windy (for us anyways 35 steady 50mph gusts) on Monday, winter storm warning and snow showers on Tuesday (18" in the mountains though which we need), about 62 today, supposed to be 82 tomorrow, 56 Friday, 48 Saturday and snow showers all next week with highs around 40... Fun times!
