75 / 60 mostly sunny. Mid 80s to the seasons 1st,2nd or in some cases 3rd 90 today. Fall back a bit Monday but some push 90 inland. Peak heat Tue / Wed - wed need to watch timing with the front but mid to perhaps upper 90s in the hottest spots. GFS / Euro split with next weekend / memorial day with trough cutting off between Fri - Sun and onshore flow vs more tame normal- ish on the euro. Ridge pushing back east by the follwing week.

Follows the WPC from yesterday. Today's forecast from them is even less rainfall, things look rather bleak

Hard to believe 3 years ago tonight was the big freeze that wiped out most of the fruit crop at orchards up here…low 20s in the valleys around CON/Loudon.

Already 73 at 9 am in wolf territory.. @WinterWolf

Starting to feel the humidity. DP 61. Cloudy too, hope that doesn't last.

was just pokin' around at obs. Looks like seasonal evapotran might be kicking in. DPs in the decoupled layer surged from low 40s to mid to upper 50s by dawn at a lot of the NWS tweener sites on their W&H Viewer. Decouple/radiative nights are probably not going to be able to do the < 40 thing even if the pattern tries to butt bone summer again. lookin' like 80s today ... some of the DP mixing out

Field trip to a pool?

Made it to 53 this morning. Quick take off though. Not looking forward to my job Tuesday and Wednesday

Crazy how long ago that all happened around here vs there. Just such a difference

Fruit trees are lit up

TORCH!!

High 78.7, low 47.3. Only the 2nd + day of the month (other was 5/6) and currently a solid -6.2 degrees BN for the month. Let's see how much the next week erodes into those numbers.

Nice early Napril look there

67° and full sun at 8am. Everything feels alive.

Nah. I like to breathe it in like they did back in yore.

Wow. But... he's a climate scientist with over 55 peer-reviewed publications! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_McPherson Al Gore on steroids

The 00z Euro kept things south and the 06z GFS depends a lot on the Wed/Thus wave with light precip beyond that. It isn't what we want, but it also isn't set in stone.

Look at all those dandelions for the bees!

Summa?

LWX sounds optimistic saying rainfall from frequent showers should add up. I know a lot of people would be disappointed with a rainy Memorial Day Weekend, but I'm begging for it even though we have plans like everyone else.

You installed?
