       Today’s the last with an average high of 80 degrees in Washington until late May. Highs were right around that this afternoon. Coupled with low humidity and a pleasant, if sometimes gusty, breeze, it was pretty ideal weather. I don’t know about you, but I’d say the 10/10 on the daily digit was a success. Similar stuff is on the way through tomorrow. Soak it up while we’ve got it.

       Second season: Large-scale severe weather threats are returning to the central U.S. as the “second season” kicks into gear over the next week. While not as regular or usually as intense as the main severe weather season in spring to early summer, the return of jet stream winds that shifted into Canada during later summer brings with it a risk of storms that can drop wind, cause large hail and spin up some tornadoes.

       A threat today that is centered on Oklahoma and Texas is just the start, with a larger dip in the jet stream probably brewing for this weekend.

       There is a Slight Risk (2/5) across parts of OK and TX this afternoon and evening. Severe storms with the potential for large hail (some 2+ in) damaging winds, and a tornado or two are possible. See https://t.co/QMmU4tCxt1 for more info. pic.twitter.com/22cW3e4R2m
