Another day, another ~trace of rain since midnight. Only ~0.30” of rain here in 3.5 weeks! I kid you not. This area and nearby has been about the driest in the entire SE over that period (since May 3rd). Even KSAV has had only 0.25” May 3rd-26th! That’s the driest there for that period since 2011. But alas, I’m still looking forward to a much wetter pattern locally. In addition to chances Wed/Thu, Fri-Tue is looking to be quite wet. So, I remain optimistic. Edit: Downtown CHS has also been very dry for the same period with a mere 0.17”!

Fargo finished Feb 2024 with a +17.5° departure, just a legendary torch month. Wonder if we see anything like that next winter.

Was going through this thread earlier and happened to stumble upon this, which of course aged like milk. April 2026 was the 7th warmest April on record for Detroit and a torch for many. Wouldn’t even be surprised to see a warmer April next year following what may end up being a non-winter.

Another win by the Nats…I don’t really follow the MLB too closely, it seems they’re over performing expectations so far. Go Nats!

Persistent 80s/90s will not be hard to come by with this look. I can agree with the pattern not being accommodating to severe weather though.

It was an extremely impressive March-April period in terms of warmth for a huge chunk of the Midwest (rivaling 2012), yet people refuse to acknowledge it and instead hype up cool periods that eventually get outweighed by the inevitable warm periods that follow. Almost like there’s some kind of mass hysteria going on as a result of the climate changes in some of these folks. They simply can’t cope with what’s happening.

Looks meh.. good luck though

Well I look at the bigger picture and I can clearly see it’s been a very warm spring for most of the Midwest, and that for most cities (including mine) cool shots this month have been transient and not severe. Couldn’t care less about extremely localized areas which happened to see more severe cold this month (mainly due to the daily minimums). I’m running about one degree below normal and should finish the month right around average, and it would appear the vast majority of cities will finish the month within a degree of normal. I care because these heat pulses we’ve been seeing are insane and growing, it’s not normal at all. As for the “cold” period this May, there have been far more impressive cold early-mid May periods, even in recent years like 2020 which I mentioned earlier.

We have the talent, but can we do this for a long period? I still have my doubts, but you never know. We can only hope!

This is how the first half of the month shaped up for your area. Just three days in the 50s with the vast majority of days in the mid 60s to low 80s. The low of 29 on the 7th is the only standout here in terms of cold (some good radiative cooling), but as a whole, wouldn’t call this first half of May sucking ass by any means.

The way the Os played tonight is how they could turn the season around- if they can find the consistency. Great pitching and defense, and timely hitting- including hitting for power. Basallo!

There were large sub-severe squall lines and a few supercells in Texas today. One supercell crossed the Rio Grande and produced a brief tornado at US-277 about 1 mile from the border

Another day, another glancing blow. Cell ran out of steam just as it reached me. 0.04" today. 0.98" for the wet(ish) period.

Who cares about Philadelphia or what happened in Chicago in March and April? You said the cool early this month was transient and here it is May 26 and I’m running about 4 degrees below normal on the month. That isn’t exactly transient cool.

Well this is going to suck. We are moving out of our house here Thursday. Talked to google fiber and they have to set up the new house since its not set with G fiber yet. Earliest they will be there will be next Tuesday. My poor phone is going to be overused the next 6 days.

Im surprised with the way the radar looked like around 1130am today we got nothing here today at RDU. Yesterday was good though here. 5/22: .54" 5/23: .07" 5/25: .48 Better than the goose egg.

Another day of drizzle that couldn't even wet the ground under the bushes.

Aren’t you the one who cries like a petulant child any time Dayton fails to reach 90° during the summer? Quite ironic coming from a fool such as yourself.

66 here. You like Florida there.

Philadelphia just had three straight days of 95°+ from May 18-20 (peaking at 98° on the 19th). That alone outweighs any of the cool shots we’ve seen this month. Even where you’re located, your spring has been quite mild. Some cool days here and there in early May don’t negate that fact. Chicago recorded its most 70°+ days this March-April, and Indianapolis had its warmest April on record. Tons of cities in the region are running one of their warmest springs on record, even in spite of the early-mid May cool shots which were underwhelming for the most part (2020 was far more impressive in that regard). And with the ongoing stretch of mild weather continuing through the end of the month, there will be hardly any negative anomalies in the region to speak of once May comes to a close. Going to end up being a very average month overall, albeit on the dry side. Some of y’all have your heads so buried in the sand that you’re cherry-picking brief cool shots and ignoring the broader pattern.

Still 72F at 9:30pm.

Next 10 days Stein Stein Stein .. f’n up the scenery breaking my mind

This is why we change the clocks. Like the masses are morons that cant understand this They are mad are DST and ST…no what they are mad at is shorter days. They are yelling at the freaking tilt of the earth to the sun. Dumbest thing I have ever heard of
