May 2007

May Synopsis
May started wet and on the cold side. The first week saw rainfall amounts typical of May storms and temperatures cool but not exceptionally cold for May. Then a very brief hot spell, with the temperature reaching 88F on the 8th, the earliest ever for an 85F or higher temperature, and then a drop into more seasonable temperatures but remaining dry thru the remainder of the month with a brief sprinkle on the 21st, being the third driest May in the past ten years and the coldest May since 2002.
