Have not seen a PNA spike like this in quite awhile! (WB)

Pretty sure this is the first time in 7 or 8 days that any ray of sunshine has hit my house. (We haven't had as much rain as many, but more overcast)

2.46" for the 'event' and sitting at 3.90" for the month here. Partly cloudy skies with some sun this morning! AC just kicked on at 8:15 am, but I'll attribute that to the warm kitchen as wife and sister are making biscuits and gravy for breakfast for the 8 folks here visiting.

Nearly 5” the last 8 days. Next 10 days look dry so hopefully after that the pattern provides regular rain.

ymmv but i'd tear that shit up and plant native prairie plants

If we can manage heavier rates.. might be a few cat paws mixed in.. would be cool to see anyways

I think the cooler February reference was in regard to long ranger seasonal models like the CanSIPS and EPS monthly which had the cooler stock February El Niño composite for the Mid-Atlantic.

Sprinkle fest from central PG over to the coast. You can hardly tell it rained here. Dry lakes, and creeks are almost dry again. 30 miles nw got over 4". Here only like 1.60".

WTF wind chill 29⁰ jeez Ginxweather.com

A top 10 warmest spring for many and some areas also top 10 driest.

Low of 60 with .13" of rain, marking nine straight days I've recorded measurable precip, totaling 2.46". That streak ends today as an unimpeachably beautiful stretch of weather settles upon us. Onward.

The way the low sort of pinwheels back south adds a bit of momentum. What a Saturday lol.

Event totals. I didn't extend over to DE, but they really got screwed with less than an inch in the southern part of the state. DCA ended up with less than 2" and will end up with a negative departure on the month.

Beautiful morning

Some exceptional temperatures are being reached in parts of France today. National highs of 38.0°C or above in May: Villefranche: 40.0°C (104.0°F), May 29, 1947 Fitou: 38.4°C (101.1°F), May 28, 2026 (through 1 pm) Argeliers: 38.1°C (100.6°F), May 28, 2026 (through 1 pm) Lacanau: 38.0°C (100.4°F), May 19, 1958 Pissos: 38.0°C (100.4°F), May 27, 2005 Salindres: 38.0°C (100.4°F), May 29, 1947

Yeah was thinking that as well. The GFS is close to 60 knots at the top of the mixed layer at the coast.

It wasn't supposed to be as warm as it was, which is the point. It was supposed to be mild, though. Yea, I def. fell into that trap to a degree.......it's tough to wipe the slate clean an not try to overcompensate for the previous effort's errors. Hey, least we know I don't have unilateral cold bias now. haha I def. thought the polar domain would prevent a 1972 redux that season, but it didn't work out. The other mistake I made was misinterpreting the competing cool ENSO influence as some sort of Modoki influence.

I've decided to give up on any gardening other than containers this year. This extreme drought is too much with almost a complete shutout for April and only 2.2 total for May. I expect Jun-Aug will be just as bad. Hopefully we get a wetter fall/winter and I will plan some garden beds for next spring. As for the lawn, I might try something in September if the super-drought is ending.

zzzzzz beautiful tho so hard to complain too much

Wax your skis.

I’ll tell you what though, there’s a three hour window where it could gust over 50 on the coast. Could be some minor wind damage with the leafed trees.

38 here, 32 at Baraga Plains, and the cool spot again Eagle Mine at 29. Should top out in the mid-upper 60's with wall to wall sun.

By the end of next week summer is here. Doesn’t look like big heat and dews, but more summer-like weather. We are almost to the promised land.

Yeah good luck
