April Finishes Warm and Dry

May is not starting out as warm as April. K-Lakes Meteorologist Tony Schumacher says the Brainerd area saw 22 days in April with temperatures 60 degrees or above. That ties April of 1987.

Schumacher says both temperature and precipitation look to be about normal for May.

April was both a warm and dry month. Less that 9/10ths of an inch of rain was recorded. A little over 2 inches is average.
