4/24: High 48 Low 30 ⛈ 0.39” precipitation, 0.2” snowfall
4/25: High 62 Low 32 ☀️

Time: 6:20 PM

Temperature: 59 (15 C)

Conditions: ☀️

Dew Point: 24 (-4 C)

Wind: W 5-10 mph

Synopsis: High was 64 (18 C) after a low of 29 (-2 C).

This past winter in Winter Haven has been far snowier than normal, so the snowpack is way thicker than usual which is leading to severe flooding. In a normal spring, the snow will normally melt off by early May but this year it might last until the end of May/beginning of June.

The recent warm and stormy weather is for sure aiding in the melting, although a big cold front is forecast later tonight which will bring snow into the area in a couple of days. The end of next week and the week after has quite consistent highs in the 50s and 60s however, which will aid in the melting for sure. 

Is there a climate box for Winter Haven yet?

Never get bored there.
