Snow showers up here today

Oh, wow...I didn't think those went past early March, like the H5 stuff.....awesome. Issue is just H5 dailies, then

What about these? I’m going to delete them soon due to big size taking up too much of my attachments space: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/usclimdivs/

Officially a trace of snow at PIT today.

These are the best I have for monthly composites right now.. https://climatereanalyzer.org Alternatively, you can also still use PSL by drawing upon the ERA 5 dataset, since NCAR was discontinued in March....my problem is that you can't use ERA 5 to generate daily maps here: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/composites/day/ You also can't get degrees F and precipitation in inches using ERA 5. So I am seeking an alternative to generate those maps as to now be relegated to monthly data using degrees Kelvin and measuring precipitation in mm moving forward.

I understand,i'd like to see it also myself..lol

My numbers for April 2026 Averaged high was 73.2 degrees vs a normal of 66.2 degrees, a +7.0 degrees above average and ties for warmest averaged high for month with 1994. Warmest temp was 87.2 degrees on the 16th. Averaged low was 43.7 degrees vs a normal of 38.9 degrees, a +4.7 degrees above average and is 3rd warmest average recorded behind 1981 and 2006. Lowest temp recorded was 27.2 degrees on the 8th and 21st. Overall averaged temp was 58.4 degrees, a +5.9 degrees above average and slides into 2nd warmest April behind 1981's 58.6 degrees. Total precip for the month was 2.07 inches vs a normal of 3.64 inches, -1.57 inches below average. The wettest day was the last with 0.64" falling. There were only 8 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T' and 19 dry days. Zero snowfall for the month vs a normal of 0.3 inches, -0.3 inches below average. Highest wind for the month was 33 mph on the 2nd and 20th. There were 13 days with winds above 25 mph. One new record, a record high temp set on the 16th. Overall a dry and warm month, second April in a row.

.03" here this morning. Sun made an appearance at sunset. Felt great outside though with shorts on and felt like early spring. Ill take this over the 3 H's

Last of the cold season thread. May meets winter. That’s some marginal surface cold.

I ask questions like that in this thread because this is where most of the seasonal guys like to congregate, so there is a method to my madness haha...not going OT just to be obnoxious.

Let's get him banned so he can't win another month (I'm kidding!)

Thats kinda what i thought you was talking about,i dont know myself where to find that and even with the hype of a super NINA i would think the skill score of any model would be fairly low,if it even makes it to Super..JMO

No, sorry...I see why you thought that because this is the ENSO thread. I apologize for the OT inquiry...I am asking about temp and precipitation anomaly map generation. Looking for a site that allows for daily map generation for temps in degrees F and precipitation in inches.

I think this goes out the furthest dont it?I know JMA goes through Dec,but i'm not sure this is what you are looking for https://iri.columbia.edu/our-expertise/climate/forecasts/enso/current/?enso_tab=enso-nmme

Long season, but sure looks like more of the same old crap. I was done with Elias a year ago. He doesnt know how to build a winning ML team, which is the actual job of a GM lol.

We are still in the mode of always missing the bigtime rain.

12z Euro shows snow mixing in with the showers on Thursday over much of Iowa and surrounding areas. Just awful.

I know like 2 of us like basketball but how bout them Sixers, down goes Boston

Since the middle of last night, my area had ~18 hours of near continuous rain, which added to ~1.2” at my place. This was well predicted. It was a near perfect rain to help with drought since it was mainly light to moderate meaning little runoff. I’ll refine this final amount later, if needed. Yesterday’s showers added to only a few hundredths. This is the first event with 1”+ here since way back on Dec 4-5! Great start to May. That also means ~2.2” over the last 7 days in an area that had gone to extreme drought on the latest map due to extreme dryness back to Sept, near the worst drought condition in the US. This doesn’t end the drought but does put a nice dent in it even if only temporary. Hopefully others in a similar situation get similar relief soon if they haven’t already. This event should also have helped with the big fires to the SW. Due to the rain and N winds north of the front, it was quite cool for May with low 60s all day.

.20" for the day and a high of 57 at 4:14pm. Thinking about running the fireplace one more time, I can tell from the air others have been running theirs.

Seems the Orioles are headed for another mediocre season. I think this is it for Elias--and when he's fired we're really gonna find out what was going on (other than roster failure particularly on the pitching side) that made these players constantly underachieve their talent. I mean how does a GM mess THAT up? Has it really been the league's worst usage of analytics...so bad that it messed up all the talent? A soft philosophy that took the fight out of players? I feel like it's something beyond just the roster that has happened. And then the injuries...half of these are just bad luck. But others I'm starting to wonder. I mean you would think new ownership...followed by a new manager and increased spending...would improve things. But somehow we're still here, smh The Monday morning QB on what happened is gonna be interesting.

Froze to death this morning/early afternoon as a wonderful feature of being here in the higher lands is the sun was out at this morning at 9:15 and 38°F felt nice. By game time at 11:30 (after pictures and a parade) the clouds and wind arrived and 44°F was unbearable. I fucking hate May.

No sunburn for us but we were doing the same things. Spring at it's finest.

Spent hours outside walking and gardening today. An absolutely spectacular spring day!

48/31 today. Currently 36 with a bit of a breeze. Felt like a November day (except for the greenery). If we clear out and decouple tonight, temps will likely get well into the 20s.
