They tend to be note overly reactionary. Updated outlook:

WB latest EPS weeklies for mid June to mid July: near normal temps and precipitation.

Late May is the equivalent of late November on the other end…so this isn’t even that. If this were June 8-10 and this happened maybe. What folks fail to realize…just as they do in late November(which is still very much autumn), is that Late May is very much still spring in New England, and this crap happens here. Everybody is always in a rush to bring in the next season…it don’t work that way on either end.

Gold tournament in Foster RI Sat afternoon should be fun; glad it’s not an AM start?

WB 0Z EPS. Spectacular Spring like week ahead.

https://phys.org/news/2026-05-hot-years.html It addresses the 'surge' nature in which the ongoing GW recency has been observed. It doesn't specifically attempt to nail down why-for that behavior; altho, it does attempt to implicate a contributing faster warming Arctic, citing less ice and snow and pan-dimensional Albedo as causal ... but that's not in depth enough. The global surging phenomenon is (or should be) of particular import. Namely, the uncertainty. There are no predictive tools, man or machine, anticipating when and to what magnitude. This may seem almost Onion obvious, but ... not knowing an entire planetary system is about to move the equivalent energy of every atomic weapon, is bad. And is strangely poetic, wouldn't you agree? Such was the mysterious lurch of late February thru early May, 2023. Yes ... prior to either the onset of +ENSO, but even so... vastly too soon to be sufficiently lag correlated in the first place. I'm still not fully convinced that the switch from negative to positive mode of the ENSO that spring, was causal in the global temperature surge, because of those incongruencies in specific timing - yet I continue to encounter narratives that the El Nino was instrumental. Wrong. Be that whatever it may be ... we are in the similar window now. With the expected onset of +ENSO, "super" this and that, notwithstanding, so it is a testable moment in history. .

I work weekends that's why

Unless I’m getting pasted, I’ll pass on mangled crap. Why can’t this be on a weekday.

Okay, I stand corrected. Colder than I recalled.

I’d honestly be cheering it on if it was June. But I’ve seen plenty of mid to late May flakes the past couple of decades…granted this would be the latest.

You aren't married are you. Wives tend not to be so fond of this idea.

Have not seen a PNA spike like this in quite awhile! (WB)

Pretty sure this is the first time in 7 or 8 days that any ray of sunshine has hit my house. (We haven't had as much rain as many, but more overcast)

2.46" for the 'event' and sitting at 3.90" for the month here. Partly cloudy skies with some sun this morning! AC just kicked on at 8:15 am, but I'll attribute that to the warm kitchen as wife and sister are making biscuits and gravy for breakfast for the 8 folks here visiting.

Nearly 5” the last 8 days. Next 10 days look dry so hopefully after that the pattern provides regular rain.

ymmv but i'd tear that shit up and plant native prairie plants

If we can manage heavier rates.. might be a few cat paws mixed in.. would be cool to see anyways

I think the cooler February reference was in regard to long ranger seasonal models like the CanSIPS and EPS monthly which had the cooler stock February El Niño composite for the Mid-Atlantic.

Sprinkle fest from central PG over to the coast. You can hardly tell it rained here. Dry lakes, and creeks are almost dry again. 30 miles nw got over 4". Here only like 1.60".

WTF wind chill 29⁰ jeez Ginxweather.com

A top 10 warmest spring for many and some areas also top 10 driest.

Low of 60 with .13" of rain, marking nine straight days I've recorded measurable precip, totaling 2.46". That streak ends today as an unimpeachably beautiful stretch of weather settles upon us. Onward.

The way the low sort of pinwheels back south adds a bit of momentum. What a Saturday lol.

Event totals. I didn't extend over to DE, but they really got screwed with less than an inch in the southern part of the state. DCA ended up with less than 2" and will end up with a negative departure on the month.

Beautiful morning
