Fisher Women, Sunday Rain chances, Welcomed Cool Down

When I don't post, it's usually because I'm not near my computer. We ran a podcast for my subscribers yesterday, showing my grandson learning to fish.  Soon my focus will turn more to the 2026 hurricane season, but to hear & see me, you have to become a subscriber for $2/month at bobbreck.com.  It will give you access to all of our podcasts so far and the many to come during this storm season. Wednesday & Thursday, Captain Hylton and I took Etta (his wife) and Valerie (my fiancĂ©e) fishing.  The girls did really well catching all kinds of fish.  Etta caught the biggest redfish.




Valerie caught a nice red plus several exotic fish like a sting ray and a huge (3'+) alligator garfish(check out those teeth!).  All in all, it was a wonderful time on the water despite the brisk winds that made casting difficult at times.  Our strong winds have been caused by a stalled upper ridge of high pressure blocking any fronts from coming our way.  The main storm track is well to our north, but the surface lows interacting with the Atlantic/Bermuda high has keep winds brisk for days.


SPC's severe outlook pinpoints the areas expecting severe storms.





The Tornado Season has shifted farther to our west & north as it does every year at this time.
We will enjoy another warm, dry day on Saturday before a cold front pushes through on Sunday.






As I mentioned before, cold fronts in late April & early May lack the real chill like those March fronts.  Still, we'll need light jackets on Sunday, especially if clouds linger, keeping temps in the 60s.  WPC is forecasting some rain with this front, but amounts will be generally less than one inch.



It will bring back some drier, good feel air for the start of next week and lower nighttime temps.  Finally,





The snowiest month, historically, in Denver is April. Check them out this afternoon.   Burrr!  It's why my oldest son (Rob) & his wife (Sarah) moved to Albuquerque two years ago!  Enjoy your weekend and stay tuned!
