We've actually had a nice spring here in NC -- not going directly from winter to summer in April like usually happens. It's been coolish many days, cool nights, late last frost, quite a bit of rain, a smattering of tornados, a couple hailstorms, quite a bit of wind, all a bit odd.
It's finally supposed to be in the 80s for a couple of days starting Memorial Day. Normally most of May is in the 80s, but I can only remember a few days so far this spring where we've topped 70s for highs. I've been very thankful for the rain as we were in such a serious drought last summer through fall; it's so nice to see everything GREEN again!

We spent the weekend in the Davis Mountains of Texas and they may be having odd weather. It was crazy windy several of the days, which the locals said usually only happens around Easter and earlier in Spring. Plus it was over 90 every day and their average summer highs are only in the mid 80's.
In Austin it seems to have been a drier year all around. We are having record breaking heat right now and no real rain to speak of in the forecast.

It's been humid, hot, and rainy the past 3 days. Arkansas is still having weekly tornados it seems.
Colorado had a tornado.

Kansas is getting tornadoes, too - 17 of them Friday, plus several over the weekend. We've had storms here every night since Friday - flash flooding last night, heavy rain & wind & hail Sunday night - including a downburst of approx. 100 mph 1/2 mi. away from us that destroyed a carport and numerous cars and buckled a building wall at a liquor store (but nowhere near that kind of wind at our house), wind & hail Saturday.--
It's supposed to be quiet the next few days.
