All Activity

My area did not quite get the 3+" of rain shown on the ensembles earlier in the week, but I'm happy with 2.30". Now we get to deal with four days of cold before the warmth and action returns.

BOS down 10F in the past hour with 35mph east winds. Love to see it.

strong sun and low level moisture making 66/55 pretty warm and muggy

Beautiful day. Low 60s.

Mostly sunny here after 3 cloudy days (that totaled <0.40" precip). Morning low was 35, first >32 morning since Dec 6. Maybe we can get more than 1/4" tomorrow, though the timing probably moves the sunrise service indoors - 30s with showers looks to be when the sun comes up.

Good rain falling this morning.

Beautiful sunny morning here and 64. Even GON throwing up a 65

56/39 partly cloudy

Decent call but slow in the timing. System will be through leaving Easter Sunday pretty decent for the sub.

The 12z NBM is a little cooler (32°).

The “triplet” TC’s on both sides of the hemisphere is happening. They are starting to form. This is going to spark off yet another massive WWB and DWKW. The models are also doubling down on westerlies taking over in the ENSO regions later on this month. This is already starting to look like it’s going to be a record-breaking tropical storm/typhoon season in the PAC….

Another snowy a.m. with some sleet mixing in. Will measure later.

Yeah we are probably in the 3-4" of rain range as well over the last few days up here. A lot of the usual spots are starting to get into action or minor flood stage, except Ontario on the Kickapoo which is somehow in major stage. Next week's system is going to be something to watch for flooding, as it's going to take a few days for everything to dry out. And just like that we go from worrying about drought to flooding. Again.

1.17” with this low. 3.5” so far this month

Yeah it’s a nice morning for sure…mostly sunny and 40s is a win in early April. It looks like the initial BD push will be south of here too.

Another 0.75" overnight brings the total since Monday night to 3.25" of much needed rains.

About 22", way way below normal for my back yard.

Based on current guidance looks like 33/34 for Central Park for Wednesday morning low only.

69 / 59 winds coming back NNE and temps will frop toward 2 - 5 pm into the 50s. Ahead of that quick surge to the 70s in this back and forth overall warm pattern. Chill down Tue-Wed then warm up with 70s in the warm spots perhaps more, the end of the week and into next weekend, we'll see if we can remain relatively dry with <.50 the next week / 7 days.

Yup, was 65 last Saturday, and my wife was complaining how chilly it was. I told her the normal high is 67.

Well, GA has set a record for least amount of rainfall from Sept to April. We are in trouble. Add the legal burning they do down here, is a recipe for disaster.

So, Wednesday might be the latest in the season that Central Park has dropped into the 20s in nearly three decades! What wild temperature swings, so far, this spring!

my high for yesterday was at midnight. of course that will probably be the high for today as well.
