I finished May with 7” of rain that’s the 6th time in last 60 years I have recorded that amount or more The others since 1965 are 1989,2003, 2008(record of 10.2”) 2009 and 2018

it's cloudy and rainy..not great

Appears to be wafting this way https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G19&sector=cgl&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24

Storms with front across region?

Smoke is definitely starting to blow into the area up high. Was all blue here wall-to-wall in the morning but now the Western sky is definitely milky gray, east more blue.

No surprise a weather site is full of agent smiths lol

Lot mentioned the smoke maybe keeping temps a few degrees cooler today

I was wondering that myself. A muted sun usually does lower the temps a bit.

We G3 right now under the bright sun lol

Damn man I need it not to be that

Agreed with this, great add.

I've come to find that the error goes in both directions ... They'll error too high on the regional totals ( actually), while down to a handful of towns and counties get Leominstered Over did the synoptics, but under did the local thunderstorm - but since the latter is inside the regional bounded area, it falsely props up the regional result. So two wrongs does make a right -

lol that's nothing, I had almost 11"

Wet

How does Saturday look

Wow. Ashland, Wisconsin - 32 yesterday morning to the upper 80s this afternoon. Talk about a big temperature swing. National Weather Service

Mid-range models are hinting at Friday Hoosier Alley. Wrong Region? Nah, ours is the best region and it's close, ha! Also unruly outflow boundaries south of progged could push that closer to our Mid-South, though probably not anything rotating. Better shear is Hoosier Alley. SPC hints at it in their 4-8 day text but I agree it's a bit early for a 15% valid Friday. I just gotta talk weather. Ventured into the off-topic toilet bowl this morning. SOS!

Its always ok to agree with some stuff and disagree with others. Thats pretty much where im at. I do hope nyc sees some good winters soon, but obviously im more concerned with what goes on in SE Michigan and im still liking 2025-26 a lot at this early stage. I like that this thread sometimes strays OT (but not necessarily TOO OT lol) because I really look at it as an all encompassing "thoughts for next winter" thread rather than JUST Enso. But I do feel like different regions definitely have different goals in mind. NYC folks seem to really be into the final snowfall number. And while that certainly interests me, Im more about how the winter is going to act as a whole. Its like one big puzzle. The timing and length of different patterns will really dictate what kind of winter it is, and especially how the general public perceives it, moreso than what that final number is following the last snowfall, likely in April 2026.

Well lookie what we have here…

That doesn't seem likely since the fires haven't been burning that long and I would think any smoke thick enough to slow daytime heating would also reduce radiational cooling. I think it's just been a long time since we've seen a pattern that can deliver this cold and dry of an airmass in June. We've grown accustomed to what seems like consistent warmth and high dewpoints during the three summer months in recent years or even decades. However, history says this chilly type of airmass does happen sometimes in early June.

Euro soaks SNE now. Fook.

One thing to note as well for the Thursday - Saturday period is this is going to be much more convective so that opens up the door for some significant rainfall totals (at least locally)...models could certainly end up underdoing the extent of totals. Also, some areas will get significantly rainfall than forecast. Where the front becomes held up could be critical because there could be some major flood concerns up north.

Huh. Unless I was reading it wrong all the social media hype seemed to be for Sunday night.
