A week ago in this space, with plenty of photos to illustrate it , it was mentioned that our region had experienced “three seasons in a week.”
The fourth season showed up on Monday.
A burst of summerlike heat came four days after the year’s first confirmed tornado and many reports of wind damage across Southwest and Southside Virginia, three days after some high-elevation snow and a house-threatening wildfire driven by gusty winds, and scarcely a week after many locations experienced subfreezing temperatures, as low as 19 at Burke’s Garden in Tazewell County on Sunday, April 7.
On Monday, South Boston almost became the first location to reach 90 this year, topping out at 89 for the warmest temperature in our region.
