REMARKS...
PRECIPITATION FOR THE MONTH WAS A BIT BELOW NORMAL...BUT CLOSE TO
THE AVERAGE FOR THE PERIOD OF RECORD. MUCH OF THIS CAME IN THE LAST
HALF OF THE MONTH WITH ONLY FOUR DAYS NOT SEEING ANY PRECIPITATION
FROM MAY 17 ONWARD. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE PREDAWN HOURS OF MAY
19 PRODUCED SOME SCATTERED TREE DAMAGE IN THE CITY. SEVERAL COOL
DAYS CONTRIBUTED TO THE BELOW NORMAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE
MONTH.
