Severe Weather & 70 degrees

We have not reached 70 degrees yet in 2008! Also, I see any forecast thru next week showing temperatures even into the 60's for Kokomo. Our only days recorded above 60 were January 6th and 7th. Last year we had already seen an 80 degree day by now. This weather pattern is very depressing.

Today will remain cool but no precipitation should fall. Saturday looks to be sunny but still chilly. Sunday and Monday bring in a serious rain threat potential of several inches across an area of the county already saturated with rain and snow melt. Look for flooding conditions to remain for many people.

The rain threat also carries with it the potential for severe weather. We are at the top of the Day 4 risk area. That is mainly for Monday afternoon into the overnight hours. I will watch for additional information and should have a better idea on the specifics starting on Sunday afternoon one the updated Day 2 forecast is presented by the SPC.
