Wild West Winds Today, Cold Air Round-Up Ahead.

I thought this picture turned out well. Click on it to see it full-sized and you'll see the butterfly's "straw" as this little fella is sucking the nectar out of the dandelion.
It has been absolutely amazing that three more times in just the last 24 hours we saw strong to severe storms approach, and weaken to some nice showers. I've said it before, (but considering what other parts of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama have gone through this season) it should be said again......we have been VERY fortunate with this Spring's weather.
The upcoming pattern isn't the best, but it's not ugly by any means.
Today we'll see west winds cranking up across the area. Look for sustained winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts at times to 30. With cold air aloft and some peeks of sun, instability showers could pop up just about anywhere this afternoon. And if any thunderstorms get going with this set-up look for more hailers. Showers dwindle tonight with lows in the upper 40s.
Friday looks like the best day in the next 5 days. Look for partly cloudy skies with breezy west winds 15 to 20 mph and highs near 70.
Saturday we'll see some spotty showers mainly during the afternoon hours with highs in the lower 70s.
Sunday another front blows through with scattered showers. But here's the kicker: highs Sunday afternoon will only be in the upper 50s to lower 60s. And lows will be in the low to mid 40s Monday morning.
Monday afternoon we could still see scattered showers at times with highs only in the upper 60s.
Here's how far off target temps will be the next several days:

• Fri Sat Sun Mon Tue
• 78 78 79 79 79 - Average Highs
• 70 72 63 67 70 - Forecast Highs
