April showers

After arranging this glorious spring weather for our week off, the WeatherBlogger has decided it's time for a shower. Or showers. The forecast shows varying chances for showers nearly every day for the foreseeable future. A week, in fact, including this Easter weekend.

It begins with a shot at a thunderstorm for northwestern portions of the state late today. Far Southern Maryland at parts of the lower shore were facing severe storm warnings earlier this afternoon. Blame an infusion of warm, moist air from the south and west, and plenty of sunshine to induce convection - a sort of atmospheric equivalent of a pot of boiling water - followed by a succession of cold fronts.

But of course we can use the water. Area streams and water tables are very low for this time of year. Look at Nassawango Creek near Snow Hill.
