My wife and daughter are spending next week in PHX/etc.   I see your 100 degree count will commence this week.

It might freeze tonight out to the west in the Texas Hill Country.  We usually get one last, late cold snap, but it's not usually in April.  I'll take it!  I've lit the fire in the fireplace, and I'll be making boeuf bourguignon for dinner tonight.

It's been unseasonably hot here in Florida. 90's all last week, with a few records falling. It's felt like July.

It will cool down a bit this week.

That's me in the yellow box.

I'd say the tornado alley shift is complete.

How sure are you about that?  Legit asking.  

iirc, the CenTX weather followed the SWLA weather pretty closely in the years I lived there.  The little town I finished growing up in and lived in through college had an annual festival the second weekend of April, and that was usually our last cold snap of the year.  So I was thinking that probably Austin's final cold snap would probably be around the first or second weekend of April.

Well, I've lived in Austin my entire life, so... pretty sure?

Freezes in April are... rare.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean freezes. 

I was just talking about drops into the low 50's, maybe 40's, after it seemed that warmer weather had set in.  I see you're talking about cold snaps and maybe I'm talking about cool snaps.

Well I guess I did muddle it when I mentioned both freezing weather in the hill country, and weather in Austin cold enough to light a fire and make a delicious French beef stew dish, but that was not in fact freezing or even close to it.

But I don't honestly recall much weather, even with overnight lows in the 40s rather than freezing, being common in April.  Late March is usually the end of it, in my recollection.

Maybe early April is something the two areas don't have in common. 

In general, I could always tell my family what their weather was about to be, because it was typically about a day behind Austin, as far as cold fronts.

the confirmed data from the Carmel tornado here last week,  EF 1   105mph (peak) ran for 6.6 miles.   some property damage occurred (bunch of roofs ripped off of commercial buildings and parts of homes, no human casualties.

there were 12 that night across IN,  that's over 30 for the season.
