I'm in Minnesota and it appears we are going to get one hell of a thunderstorm. The sky is very lit up with lightning and the building is shaking from the thunder.

Also, I am listening to the Milwaukee Brewers game on the radio and the announcer said that at game time the temperature was 84 degrees and it has fallen to 44 degrees in the hour since the game started. Can the temperature really drop 40 degrees in an hour?

Anyway...how is the weather wherever you are?

It's very nice... probably in the high 60's, I'm guessing. Although, it's supposed to turn off cold tomorrow and be in the 50's, I guess.

The thunderstorm's over here in Mpls. It must have passed your way. It won't last long.

Today was 79 in Boston, tomorrow is supposed to be about the same and then Thursday they are predicting a high of 37 degrees

I'm used to it...it's typical New England weather.

Yeah, it does seem to have passed. Hmmm...I thought it would be a lot worse. Just a lot of light and thunder, but very little rain.

Anyway...does anyone else think a 40 degree temperature drop in an hour is insane (for the city of Milwaukee)?

Anyone in Milwaukee this evening?

Same here. Yesterday it was 89 and they say there may be a rain/snow mix on Thursday. It's a wonder everyone in the state doesn't have a cold.

phuc that! last night around this time it had 2 had been about 60-somethin degrees. yesterday wuz frickin hot!!!

We had a mini heat wave today where I am living in the Uk, it was least expected, I just popped out to the shops and couldnt believe it when I saw my neighbours sunbathing... people in summer clothes and me, I been stuck indoors all day, not knowing...It surez wierd weather, cos it will probably snow tmrw...


Sometimes it Snows in April..

Have to agree. Detroit topped out Tuesday at 84 F / 29 C with 20-30 mile wind gusts. Hottest day so far. It's 72 right now (20 min past midnight) and the weather types say it will drop to 57 overnight.

Come morning we are supposed to get rain, and Wednesday's high will only reach 64. That will be slightly before noon. Cold front (coming from MPLS/Milwaukee) is supposed to drop temps to about 50 in the afternoon Wednesday.

By Wednesday night we are supposed to have freezing rain a low of 32 or so. And it does not get any better on Thursday. Weather-types say the high will be about 40 with a cold rain.

Don't you love springtime in the Midwest?
