65 when I left the house with .1” having fallen and steady rain still occurring.

This overcast and Brazilian humidity can't end soon enough.

One last day of sprinkles fest 2026 for us lowlanders then back to drought by next week. At least it looks beautiful.

June Monthly Temperature Anomaly Forecast: For anyone new wanting to enter, the forecast contest asks you to predict temperature anomalies at nine locations across the U.S., in F deg relative to 1991-2020 averages. The nine locations are DCA _ NYC _ BOS _ ORD _ ATL _ IAH _ DEN _ PHX _ SEA This month we will also add on Max temps in each of these locations listed above. Please have forecasts in by June 1st @ 6z

Whatever threat the DC-Baltimore area has today will be an early show.

Sorry been rather busy and the month snuck up on me. This is for May final tally.

I dealt with that living in AZ for a time, and it really isn't a big deal. Big positive. Not having to go around the house changing clocks.

WB 6Z NBM for today....

Lots of mid high-level clouds today. Might cap Temps a few degrees.

Some more beneficial rainfall overnight.

Village idiot? Village idiot?! I have a right to reply or post on this forum. If you don't like our posts, why are you here anyway? Commie!

postpone the dews, there’s still 3 months left to hit 105/80 again or whatever happened last year

Still been holding 70-72F during the 3am hour for a proper overnight torch, ha. Warmest in New England in the north central mountain valleys of the Greens.

Okay folks we got slammed by .9 inches this afternoon then another 1.4 inches tonight. This brings us to 21 inches for the year. We are still in contention for a while more yet. Binghamton is nearly 2 inches behind us but the East gets a lot of rain, it will not be long before one or more of the eastern terminals overtakes us.

They'll learn real fast once they get their way. Personally I wouldn't mind permanent DST with my job. I'll get rid of all the packages before sunrise in December and then have plenty of time to deliver the mail before it gets dark.

What’s driving the persistent high-latitude ridging in North America, and why hasn’t that pattern translated into stronger or more sustained ridging in the mid-latitudes (especially out east)? I know the CONUS has been warm for a while now too (with Feb-Apr in particular being VERY warm) and has seen its share of anomalous ridging (like what we saw out west in March this year). In general, however, the mid-latitude ridging has been weaker and less persistent than what we’ve seen farther north in Canada for the past decade plus. This seems especially true in New England, which has recently stood out as a relative cool spot to other regions. I have some ideas in relation to the general sense of the cause, but it’s a bit frustrating, and I don’t even live in New England lol. Feels like the Great Lakes region is kinda getting screwed out of the warmth too lately, particularly the northern GLs. For example, South Bend, IN was +7.4° in March, while Marquette was only +1.5°, though that was probably in part due to the -WPO which allowed for cold shots to sneak into the northern tier of the CONUS.

Cool and Dry First few days of June

It’s not easy to wet the bushes where you live.

Mainly dry days to start June

Mainly Dry Days to start June

I've seen more hype for a super Nino this coming winter than I ever remember before.

If I recall correctly, something similar happened in Feb 2024 when models were predicting a snowy and cold outcome most of the Midwest/East, but instead ended up being a legendary torch month with Fargo putting up an insane +17.5° departure. Though I can’t remember why exactly the cold/snowy forecasts busted so bad. Not sure if it was MJO related, but it was the warmest Feb on record for numerous cities, including my own. I do know the pac jet extension at the time was ridiculous, so that played a role surely.

Why do I get the feeling that this was yet another one off that tricked us into thinking it’s the start of a sustained wet pattern… Then again those dry maps stop mid next week and it’s just a relax before a reload.

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”! Like for here, the sea breeze has been keeping most of the shower activity inland for this week so far.
