Winning despite ourselves
The system that has been making news (including a strong tornado in Merrill Wisconsin, yesterday) also had a warm front that developed a little further south than we had in the forecast. It brought a splash of rain, but also a stronger, warmer southerly flow on Sunday, which brought warmer temperatures in Providence than had been expected. The associated cold front also moved slower than expected, which meant it didn't rain like we all thought it would yesterday. Somehow, despite missing both precipitation forecasts in Providence, Victoria-Weather still managed to have the top forecast, thanks in no small part to everyone's insistence that the low on Sunday morning wouldn't drop off.
Actuals: Sunday - Trace of rain, High 66, Low 31
Monday - High 62, Low 46
