49.7° Still too cold

This is why I have been quietly cheer it on.....nothing we can do about the dews, but the smoke may cap the heat a bit.

Just over an inch of much-appreciated rain here. Locations less than ten miles south picked up nearly 1.8” from a SW to NE oriented line, so location mattered. Nevertheless, grass and garden will proper.

I think last winter was a sign of change, but its probably going to be an incremental, two steps forward, one step backwards kind of deal. ...

56 when I left the house and 52 through the rurals. I’ll scope out the MDT weather station as we go by on the train.

Agree. I think we are stuck in a -PDO decadal state for at least another year

The decade of smoke rolls on. Can’t buy a snow storm but get blanketed in smoke every week.

Looks like it could be a decent Saturday in SNE.

Friday may have a few bangers around especially western ma. Wonder if the smoke keeps temps down a couple of tics.

Smokey

ha yea, next severe will be 12/24 with a big ol' cutter fine-line

Wagons North

Yeah I noticed a few mosquitoes earlier myself before heading back inside. Def caught me off guard. Wonder if the incoming smoke has anything to do with their sudden appearance?

Without having any idea that this would occur, I got a heavy shower suddenly at ~1:45AM (6/4) but it ended after no more than 5 minutes. I looked on radar and saw that it came from a rather unusual direction, from offshore moving WNW.

Sahara sand.

I swatted a fly so hard he got stuck in the wires, also zapped him.

As a near coast resident, I do fear the tendency of storms developing further W and not having as much chance to recurve E of the US though it is still plenty warm in the MDR. The projected RONI based weak La Niña like last year is not comforting as far as favored tracks and suggests another significantly impactful season on the US is quite possible. Of course, with last season being so horribly bad for the SE US, the odds are that this one won’t be nearly as bad there. Fingers crossed, especially for FL, which can’t take another horrendous year. Even my area had BOTH the worst flooding from a storm (Debby) in at least 8 years as well as widespread multi day outages (Helene) (worst since 1979/David). I’d love nothing more than another 2013, 2010, 2001, or 2000. Most of those years would also make you happy and without all of the destruction.

79.7 here as well.

We have forgotten to mention horseflies trying to attack you at the lake. And yes, we have water running down our hill in the ditches, a swamp on on side at the bottom and a lake on the other side. Plus plenty of trees for those bugs that like that. We have them all!

Lets hope this stays in Canada:

We will have to keep a close eye on this. The Canadian smoke model seems to want to create a smokepocalypse at the end of its run with dense surface smoke spanning pretty much all of southern Canada and northern Michigan by Friday morning.

Black flies are the worst although we don't have a ton around here. I seem to be particularly allergic to their bite...it will itch for days. Scratching doesn't help since they leave that little hole in your skin as extra punishment. Actually looking forward to a little HHH...been a struggle to get the house warmed up with nights in the 40s lately. Made a nice recovery today...46-76.
