Gone are the tranquil, pleasant days of last week. In their place, the stormy days of Spring. Several rounds of thunderstorms pelted the area last night with rain and, in some places, hail the size of baseballs. We've got another round of bad weather moving through the area this morning but once it passes, things will calm a bit. For a while, anyway. We'll still be under mostly cloudy skies but we'll see temps warm to near 80 degrees and gusty winds kick up, brining in humid air which will all set the stage for another round of rain and storms overnight. The rain will continue into tomorrow when we'll temps drop to more seasonable levels.
