Tiger’s return: Masters thunder?
Sure signs of spring.
The first crocus. Ice out. Azaleas in bloom in Amen Corner at The Masters.
I love Masters weekend. It's the final nail in the coffin for the cold season in the Upper Midwest. And this year right after Masters Sunday, we have the Twins home opener at Target Field on Monday? Sheer springtime sports fan heaven.
It looks like the rumbling at Augusta may not be limited to Tiger's return to golf. As a cool front sweeps through Augusta later today, a growling line of (possibly severe) thunderstorms will tag along. Look for late day thunder today at Augusta,before things clear out for what should be a spectacular weather weekend.

NOAA Storm Prediction Center shows slight risk for severe storms this afternoon for The Masters.
Overall the forecast for Augusta this weekend looks grand. After the potential for delays this afternoon, the trademark sunshine and gentle breezes kick in for the weekend. It looks like temperatures will be in the 70s.
Sunday's forecast high temperatures.
I can almost hear the dulcet tones of CBS sportscaster Jim Nance and Irish whispers of David Feherty layered over gratuitous long lazy camera shots of the Georgia pines towering over Rae's Creek Sunday afternoon.
Ahh, spring is in the air at last.
