Showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall, with a few thunderstorms being severe, are expected over portions of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic States through Monday. Across the Rockies and Intermountain West, a storm system will bring showers, thunderstorms and high elevation snow.

After a chilly April on average, the outdoor furnace commenced across the region during the month of May.  At the Dodge City airport, the average temperature for May was a record 72.2 degrees which is a whopping 8 degrees above normal and an astonishing 1.1 degrees above the previous record of 71.1 degrees set back in 1962!  Here is a graph showing the top warmest month of May.

 

What makes this even more incredible is that there were NO daily record temperatures established!  Plus, there were NO days of 100 degrees or hotter for the month!

For the spring months of March, April, and May the average temperature was 56.5 degrees at Dodge City and this is the 15th warmest on record.
