Clouds came in too fast to keep the heat going. .

I drove through a pretty heavy downpour on the taconic yesterday. Unfortunately at home it didnt rain much and I had to water the grass seed I put down on sunday (in a vain attempt to making the front lawn look less than abominable). 93f in the bronx now.

Going to be interesting to see how much severe weather actually develops here this afternoon as the front is already moving east fast and runs from Milford PA southwest down to around Harrisburg with no mesoscale discussions or any severe watches/warnings anywhere RWR from KCTP SPC Products Page

A few cumulus starting to appear in Fairfax City.

Got snowed on yesterday up here outside Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.

It will never be the same.

Me too but I was pretty surprised to see that MDT topped out at only 93 yesterday. If you would have asked me at the beginning of the day I would have put good odds on hitting at least 95. Weather always has a way of teasing us, guess that's why we love/hate it haha.

CPC also making comparisons to 1997 now:

88/67. Love it

HRRR's still a bit out of range. 3K NAM is wild

HRRR continues to be pretty wimpy most runs, the RRFS has consistently shown a stronger signal and the FV3 GFS and NAM do too

Lol I just looked at the GFS. Ok, maybe the STJ has opened for business. Literally the entire SE area that is currently classified under drought is covered with red heavy precip amounts the next 10days. Crazy how basically it's just an inversion of the US drought monitor map.

Finished up some yard work from last night and it is miserable outside....

I hear you brother. I think many of us still have flashbacks. I was down by the lake last night and couldn’t help but think how ironic it was to see it at record low levels. It immediately reminded me of that day and what I saw on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Come on guys. Where have you all been for the last two years? I wouldn't write this whole upcoming weekend off as a washout. Maybe this time they won't be wrong and the forecast will verify...but I wouldn't bet on it.

i would think there’s a svr watch later today

We did get a 2inch precip storm in January. Just nothing before or after. Which seems to be our pattern now

two winters from now…

Lows ranging from the mid 20's to mid 30's this morning. Cool day in the 50's here in town. Basically 50's & 60's until Memorial day when a strong warm front starts to affect the W sub. Then summer wx arrives

Also where was all of this in January.
