Pre frontal trough dropped the temps by about 15 degrees, Michael. Now the hail may have something to do with it as well...;)

Getting thunder and lightning now in Stafford. Not much wind though. Rain has slacked off after a heavy downfall for about 5-10 minutes. Temp is down to 68. Looking at the radar on the weather homepage here we are smack dab in the middle of the two red box areas.

Light rain behind the main line and that should do it, Txmomof2.
