We have had Moderately Wet conditions this week with 2.84" of precipitation falling over 5 days as rain in thunderstorms along with a trace of snow. Temperatures were a Spring-like roller-coaster, with daily highs fluctuating between 38F and 72F. Some of the Thunderstorms were severe enough to spawn tornadoes and extensive straight-line wind damage (winds were 70 mph or above), causing massive power outages and property damage. Daffodils are blooming and forsythia bushes are starting to bloom. Lilacs and some trees are starting to bud. Lawns are starting to green up and the grass is starting to grow. The Kalamazoo River and local millrace are running higher than usual, flooding and closing our local river walk.
