Actually looks fairly dry too with BN precip

Been unbelievably dry in Georgia. We got 0.15" on Easter and that's been it since that cold front in mid-March. I coach baseball and softball and the kids are all complaining that the clay's dried up so much it feels like they're sliding on concrete. On the bright side, we haven't had a single rainout yet (knocking on wood). FFC says this is our greatest drought (D2-D4) coverage since 2007. 2/3 of the state in at least extreme drought.

Normal temps and sunny days in late April are now punishing? Lol

Euro vs EL nino climo. I think slightly below normal starting in May is a good bet. Which honestly isn't the worst outcome to keep the drought from accelerating.

Not sure what you’re seeing but it looks like normal temp pattern with many sunny dry days of 60’s. Sure a day like Monday will happen but will be the exception . Looks like anything but ass

76/62 Beautiful out

Oh look. Another mid summer day. This july hasn't been horrible but it hasn't been great. I can't wait for just slightly above average to return lol

That is one funky looking standout of blue. Jokes aside, I know you know it, but remember its all relative. The coldest winter ever recorded in Anniston, AL is warmer than the warmest winter ever recorded here. I feel like when we are so far out from the next winter, its easy to focus too much on temps.

We aren't going to stay dry forever. This notion that we are the desert SW all of a sudden is hilarious.

Nice day with cumulus

Maybe I'm squinting at it too hard but it looks like the passage of the evening QLCS is bumping earlier instead of later, which I'd love to see it with even half a lux of sunlight left. Also: .UPDATE... Issued at 1015 AM CDT Fri Apr 17 2026 There is a trailing boundary extending south from ongoing convection across the Minneapolis area. This boundary may be an initial source for forcing as it spreads towards northern Illinois in the mid afternoon time frame. The airmass is still stable per the extensive area of billow clouds across Iowa, however we have noted a significant uptick in the dewpoints out ahead of this feature. Instability progs would suggest by the time this boundary arrives northern Illinois should destabilize, and thus there at least some concerns for a leading round of convection, which could be in the form of supercells with an all hazard threat. Some questions still exists as to whether this will just graze the local area or continue to push closer to the Chicago metro area. There is a shortwave across Missouri that also slide through the area ahead of the cold front which could be a mechanism to keep convection farther east, so this will be a mesoanalysis focus in the coming hours. Limiting factors for this first round convection having a larger footprint would be that the forcing is a bit more subtle, and we still have a fairly deep dry layer ahead of this boundary. Regardless of this, low level flow will reintensify ahead of the cold front which should help to keep instability up into the evening hours, where a damaging wind threat would be the highest concern, along with a QLCS tornado threat. Thoughts from the morning AFD still tell the story quite well. KMD

I stand by it that low 60s dews in April is humid. Imperial (Metric) Date Time (edt) Wind (mph) Vis. (mi.) Weather Sky Cond.

It's humid, just go with it.

the pollen ratios are 100:1

yes, as of 12. the 11 am reading was 61

frg dewpoint is 57 according to nws.

I'll believe that when I see it. Fingers crossed though

Yea we had windows open so I was monitoring so wind-driven rain wouldn’t come in. Wasn’t an issue lol

I'd also say it depends on the time of year. Low 60 DPs in April is pretty muggy. Mid-summer, it's refreshing.

Yea i mean FRG is 61, the closest airport. Wind just shifted north about 15 min ago. Also, Gemini doesn't lie A dew point of 60°F–65°F (16°C–18°C) is typically when air begins to feel "sticky" or humid. When dew points reach 65°F–70°F ( – ), it becomes noticeably muggy and oppressive, while values above 70°F ( ) feel uncomfortable and very humid to most people. National Weather Service (.gov) +2

Just took the pup out for a walk and I wouldn't say it's terrible out. I'll take today over the 49* and sheet drizzle you can get this time of the year.

65+ is humid IMO. My DP is 53 in Muttontown/62 in Syosset (always high DP) and winds are Northerly component all over the place.

Td of 62 here and 61 at FRG. That's humid...

End of April and early May looks like ass

Yeah it'll be very warm actually
