It was overcast just about all day yesterday, and we had some occasional rain. Forecasters said the high would be 81°, but it was only 72° when I left the office so I have to wonder if it ever got close to 80°.

Last night's low was expected to be in the mid–60s. It was 65° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 30542 and 30543. Yesterday's reading was between 30532 and 30533. Consumption was 10 kWh.

Yesterday was a sunny day. When I left the office, the radio said the temperature was in the low 80s, but everything else told me the temperature was in the upper 80s.

Forecasters also said last night's low would be in the 60s. It was 74° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 30532 and 30533. Yesterday's reading was 30514. Consumption was 18½ kWh.

When I left the office yesterday, the radio reported a temperature in the low 80s. That was probably correct. It was warm but not hot. No rain, and little if any rain is expected this afternoon, but forecasters seem to think we will be getting scattered storms tonight and tomorrow.

The radio said last night's low would be around 59°. I don't think it was quite that cool. It was 64° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 30514. Yesterday's reading was 30501. Consumption was 13 kWh.

The temperature climbed well into the 80s yesterday, and the sun was shining most of the day, but a storm front came into the area in the evening. It brought rain and talk of damaging winds and baseball–sized hail.

We got some rain around here, and the power went out for about 15 minutes, but I don't think the winds got as strong as predicted, and I don't think we got any hail, either.

Last night's low was predicted to be around 61°. It was 64° when I woke up.

This morning's reading is 30501. Yesterday's reading was 30487. Consumption was 14 kWh.

The temperature was definitely in the 80s yesterday, but just how warm was it? When I left the office, my car radio reported a temperature in the low 80s, but the temperature gauge in my car had a reading in the upper 80s. I suppose I could split the difference and say it was 85°.

Last night's low was expected to be 70°. It was 74° when I woke up — and that was shortly before 6 a.m., when it was still dark outside.

This morning's meter reading is 30487. Yesterday's reading was 30469. Consumption was 18 kWh.

I didn't spend much time outside yesterday, but when I was outside, it seemed to me the temperature was in the low 80s. Forecasters call for highs in the 80s all week but not much rain — mostly tomorrow night and Friday.

Last night's low was supposed to be in the 60s. It was 70° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is 30469. Yesterday's reading was between 30450 and 30451. Consumption was 18½ kWh.

Forecasters told us to expect steadily warming conditions, and they have been correct so far. Temperatures were in the 80s yesterday — low 80s according to the radio but upper 80s according to the temperature reading in my car.

This should continue until Tuesday when strong storms are expected to be moving through this region of the country. Current forecasts suggest the most severe stuff will be to the north of us, but this is, after all, spring, the time of year when we should have more of this kind of stuff than we have had thus far in 2016.

Temperatures were supposed to drop to the low 60s last night, but it was 67° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 30450 and 30451. Yesterday's reading was 30433. Consumption was 17½ kWh.

When I left the office yesterday, the radio said the temperature was 81°. I figure it must have been a few degrees warmer in the middle of the afternoon. Anyway, I know it was in the 80s. The rain is gone and expected to remain out of the picture for at least the next three or four days.

Last night's low was expected to be in the 60s. My best guess is that it was in the low 60s when I got up.

Today's meter reading is 30433. Yesterday's reading was between 30425 and 30426. Consumption was 7½ kWh.

The clouds cleared out of the area yesterday morning, and the afternoon was bathed in sunshine. The temperature must have reached 80° at some point, but it dipped into the 70s by the time I left the office.

Last night's low was expected to be 57°. It was 58° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 30425 and 30426. Wednesday's reading was 30407. Average daily consumption for the last couple of days has been 9¼ kWh.

Yesterday's temperature was in the upper 70s, possibly the low 80s for awhile. It was overcast much of the day, but the sun came out in the afternoon.

Last night's low was expected to be 62°, and there was talk of rain during the night. I never heard any thunder — of course, I may have slept right through it — and the temperature was 62° when I woke up.

I didn't hear it, but when I got up, I discovered that we did get rain last night — we're still getting some. Consequently, I have decided not to photograph my meter this morning. Hopefully, the rain will break and I can resume tomorrow.

Yesterday's reading was 30407.

Yesterday was mild and overcast. I don't know what the temperature was, but my guess is that it remained in the 70s most of the day — but the expected rain never really came. The chance for rain is diminished for today and tomorrow, too. Today's high is expected to be 76°.

I think last night's low was expected to be in the 60s. It was 65° when I woke up.

Although forecasters said temperatures would be in the 70s yesterday, I'm pretty sure it got into the 80s for awhile. It was sunny and warm, I know that.

It was supposed to be warmer yesterday than it had been the day before, but it didn't feel warmer to me. In fact, it felt a bit cooler to me — like it was in the 60s. Of course, that may have been because it was overcast and rainy at times. They say it will be in the 70s today.

Last night's low was expected to be 56°. It was 58° when I woke up.

Yesterday's temperature was expected to be in the 80s. Perhaps it was. The radio said it was in the low 80s when I left the office. But it didn't feel that warm to me, even with the somewhat muggy conditions we had.

Those muggy conditions produced some severe storms to the north of us, but we were spared in Dallas.

The same forecasters said our low would be in the mid–50s last night. It was 61° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 30325 and 30326. Yesterday's reading was between 30314 and 30315. Consumption was 11 kWh.

As the forecasters promised, yesterday's temperatures were back in the 80s. Probably the low 80s. At the same time, though, they promised that a cold front would bring cooler temperatures overnight. Not cold temperatures, mind you. This is, after all, April. But, by comparison, cooler temperatures, starting with an overnight low in the low 50s.

I don't think it got that cold, though. It was 61° around here when I woke up.

They say the temperature will be in the 70s today and tomorrow. We'll see.

This morning's meter reading is 30303. Yesterday's reading was 30297. Consumption was 6 kWh.
