Showers moved through today spoiling early afternoon plans but was out of the area by the evening. This rain was produced by a front originating in the Pacific which brings milder air behind the front compared to a Canadian front. High pressure has moved in and will bring very pleasant weather for the weekend. The return flow sets up Sunday allowing for temperatures to warm quickly. The pattern continues with dry weather through the week with rain again next Friday.
A very interesting event early this morning across the midwest, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake! It was felt from Illinois to Kentucky. My mother in Louisville felt the quake at about 5:30 in the morning and she said it lasted about 30 seconds. The last quake in Louisville was in the late 60s so as you could imagine, many people were had no idea what was happening. There were no injuries reported with some structural damage to a building downtown. You can find out more information on the USGS website at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/.
