Are you on the coast, or interior? I'm between Victoria and Vancouver, B.C. Do you know if we're expected to get the same? If so, massive electrical storms will accompany the front, with the temperature differential, I'd think. What about high winds? I'd think so. Yikes.
Threadbear, I'm 300 miles from the coast. It's doubtful you'll be experiencing the same system, but who knows? The time frame between Monday and Friday (low pressure-to-high-pressure) seems long enough to preclude a wind event. When we get these massive, stagnant high pressure ridges that lock into position during the summer (I think they call it a Rex Block), often there is no wind at all, just dirty, oppressively hot, dry air. It must be like being inside a truck's inner tube that someone inflates to 100 psi. Feel that pump getting hot? _________________ "When hope is gone, action can ensue."

Bats and the Rose Breasted Grosbeaks returned yesterday, so it must really be spring.
One of those bats was a big guy too. I hope he is hungry. _________________ I can tell your fancy I can tell your plain

Put up some bat houses, Cur. Now is the time.
They really work.
I hope so. I put up two a couple of weeks ago. We always have two bats in summer any way so I am hoping that I can lure in 3 pairs. _________________ I can tell your fancy I can tell your plain

Severe storms kill at least 22 in Midwest, South
Tornadoes reported in Missouri, Okla., Ga.; rescue efforts under way
AP--PICHER, Okla. - Crews and search dogs hunted Sunday for survivors or bodies in the piles of debris left after a tornado rumbled through a day earlier and killed at least seven people.
Officials held out hope that they wouldn't find any more bodies in this town, once a bustling mining center of 20,000 that dwindled to about 800 people as families fled lead pollution here.
Residents said the tornado created a surreal scene as it moved through Picher late Saturday afternoon, injuring 150 people, overturning cars, throwing mattresses and twisted metal high into the canopy of trees. …
