A second cold snap hit the west central valleys of western Colorado early in the growing season. Reported minimum temperatures ranged from the upper teens to mid 20s.  Between this event and the previous freeze in late March of 2003, the apricots were nearly a total loss.  Since only a small percentage of apricots are grown commercially in these areas, no damage cost estimate was made for apricots.  Among the commercially grown fruit, peaches sustained most of the damage.  Combined damage to the peaches from this event and the previous freeze in late March was very significant, with about an 80 percent loss in the Grand Valley and up to 50 percent loss in some of the orchards in Delta County.  Damage to other commercially grown fruits was again minimal.  It is nearly impossible to determine the amount of damage to the peach crop from this event compared to the previous freeze event.  Therefore, the 9 million dollar estimate of damage to the peach crop listed with this event is actually the combined total from this event and the previous freeze event of March 28-29, 2003.

Anatahan began erupting suddenly from its east crater at about 1800 on May 10. Within hours of the eruption's onset, a towering column of volcanic ash and gas rose to more than 33,000 feet above sea level, and the prevailing wind blew the ash westward. This was the first eruption in recorded history on the island. Anatahan Volcano is a small volcanic island located 80 miles north of Saipan Island and 200 miles north of Guam. The island is about 5.6 miles long and 3 km 2 miles wide. Anatahan is a stratovolcano that contains the largest known caldera in the Northern Mariana Islands. The island has been uninhabited since 1990, when an earthquake swam forced the  evacuation of the island residents.The eruption buried the island's village in about a foot and a half layer of ash. Analysis of the earlier earthquake records shows that the explosive activity was preceded by many earthquakes starting 12 hours before the eruption began on the 10th. On May 23 and 24, Typhoon Chan-hom,passing 450 miles east of the Mariana Islands, shifted the prevailing east winds to the south, blowing the eruption column toward Saipan and Guam. Light ash fall resulted in flight cancellations at the Saipan and Guam international airports. Residents of Guam and Saipan reported a rotten egg smell associated with the ash fall. The sulfur dioxide gas emitted by the volcano combines with atmospheric moisture produces volcanic smog also know as VOG. The ash plume prompted Continental Airlines to cancel six of its scheduled flights from Saipan.

A warm front was located to the south of Iowa.  Strong warm air advection was taking place over the state.  Wind profilers and VAD wind profile data showed winds of 55 kts within 500 meters of the surface.  A line of thunderstorms formed along the moisture gradient and lifted northeast across the state.  Subsidence in the wake of the thunderstorms produced gusty winds of 25 to 40 MPH over a large part of the state.  It also produced enough of a downward transport to bring the strong winds just above the surface down to ground level. Frequent wind gusts of 35 to 45 MPH were reported in the area.  A 60 MPH wind was recorded by a schoolnet site at Mallard in Palo Alto County.  Little damage was reported, though there were a few reports of minor damage to outbuildings around the county.

A warm front was located to the south of Iowa.  Strong warm air advection was taking place over the state.  Wind profilers and VAD wind profile data showed winds of 55 kts within 500 meters of the surface.  A line of thunderstorms formed along the moisture gradient and lifted northeast across the state.  There was a several hour period that the northeast transport of moisture was in balance with the influx of drier air from the northeast.  The line of thunderstorms remained stationary and deposited copious amounts of rain.  Much of the state was already nearly saturated from heavy rainfall during the previous week.  The additional 2 to 4 inch rainfall that occurred in a three hour period produced flash flooding in several areas.  Water was flowing over highways in Greene and Dallas Counties.  In Polk County, in addition to the water flowing over highways, flooding was widespread in the Des Moines metro area.  Many intersections were flooded by several feet of water around the metro area.  There were also numerous reports of flooding in basements around the three counties.
