Another three days of clouds and rain coming as soon as Tuesday Total rain this month 4.70"

Check Facebook marketplace. People who are moving or downsizing sometimes let really nice machines go for cheap

I don't have a gauge here, so all I can say it's really wet. Ratios sucked with this.

A couple days ago it looked like Tuesday would be a nice day, with showers coming in overnight. I planned to go hiking lol.

Finally starting to let up some here as the low is starting to move slowly off to the NE, Up to 2.15" for the event.

The coastal band had been perched over my noggin all day.

We felt it here on the lake in Cornelius. The whole condo shook for approximately 2-4 seconds. The birds went quiet too.

Too windy for a perfect 10 but it's really nice out.

10/10 today wow wow

There is actually a cool bias at times at Newark since the ASOS is right on the water and gets a sea breeze. You will notice several more inland NJ sites having a similar number or more 90° days than Newark does. This is the total 90° count for the 2020s in NJ so far with the Harrison and Hightstown beating Newark for 90° days. 90 day Data for January 1, 2020 through May 9, 2025 Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

How many 90 degree days did NYC and JFK have in 2022? That 49 number for Newark seems rather high and doesn't fit the profile of the other summers around it which were hotter. 1983, 1991, 1993, 2010 were all much hotter summers.

1983 was a genuinely hot summer, none of these post 2013 summers have been hot like that.

to be fair our last really hot summer was 2013, Newark is notorious for having a hot bias. Is this the same low coming back again and again? How long does it take for this thing to dissipate?

Yeah, we’ll see how it goes. But it does look like 90° potential will probably wait until after the Memorial Day weekend. While recent years had under 40 days at Newark with the first 90° holding off until after June 1st, the last time the first 90° getting delayed into June reached 40 days was 1983. But that was after a super El Niño winter and not a La Niña like this year. The real test will probably come during the last week of May which is beyond the 15 day model range. If a 90° day can’t sneak in that week, then the chances for Newark reaching 40 days this year could be diminished based on the past. All years at Newark with 40 days reaching 90° and the 1st 90° day 2010….54….4-7 2022….49….5-21 1993…..49….5-9 1988….43…..5-31 2021....41……5-19 1991….41……5-12 2016...40…..5-25 1983…40…..6-12 1959….40…..5-12

I just left up there, it was nasty driving, I was thinking the same of how nice a snowstorm it would be in winter.

This is what is known as a WET STEIN...

Notable speed-up in the overnight and morning guidance with the arrival of the rain: initial shower bands may arrive before the dinner hour on Monday.

What a drencher here at Pit2. Torrential rain all day so far. Blustery and 47*. What a May. Hopefuilly it'll be dry enough tonight for the first mowing tomorrow morning. The lawn is a jungle.

2.04"

Rain has finally almost stopped. Let's get these temperatures up!

You wonder in the 5/20 - 5/24 period of any of the building heat to the SW gets up this way ahead of any Memorial Day weekend trough - way out there.

Brutal. It would’ve been a region wide 6”-12” in Jan/Feb.

Relentless

Nope, so that was fun setting up in the sheet drizzle. I found some cool antiquities for cheap though. Rain is done here, hopefully we get some clearing.
