Decent morning with filtered sun through thin cirrus. 63.3°

What is this? Day number 3 of steady rainfall?!

You must either have the shortest memory ever or you are purposely trying to manipulate things. I love how you just disappear during a heatwave, when the weather doesn't support your agenda. I didn't see you post in early March when it was in the 80s, or in mid-April when it was in the 90s either. Anyways, you only have to go back 5 years to find a colder Memorial Day weekend (I remember this because I got my first COVID shot that Saturday, and man that was a very miserable weekend): 2021-05-29 54 48 51.0 -17.1 14 0 0.66 0.0 0 2021-05-30 53 47 50.0 -18.4 15 0 0.29 0.0 0

I agree. This is a very challenging setup.

We are in a weird precip hole lately. I am only now at this moment hitting 1” for the month. Hopefully we see more action later today.

Raining here in WOR central CT.

2.28” total so far

Even worse up on the I-81 ridge top.

Nice dry day. sucks to be southwest

What an awful day. Currently 45 degrees on May 23rd. Colder than quite a few January rainstorms over years. Disgusting...

Lanternflies and Tree of Heaven come from the same Geography.

I find late clearing after days of crap more annoying than beneficial.

You saying that made me look at my temps. 50 outside holding at 70 inside, but I am in an interior TH. I did however change my system back over to min/max mode. So the heat will come on if it gets to 69 and put the air up to 76. Rain wise .83” for the day so far. Event total is now 3.03"

Last 3 24 hr periods of rain ending 7AM at Cocorahs reporting stations (Clayton Cty has no stations evidently): many ATL area spots already got a much needed 0.4-0.8” with more to come next few days 5/22-3: 5/21-2: 5/20-1:

LOL, yep. Wife was complaining that it was 67 in the house, on went the heat in May! smh. Currently light rain and 51.5/50.8. At 7 am CoCoRaHS report set a new 'cool max' for the date at 55.0 degrees, old mark was 57 degrees from 1990. Another 0.45" in gauge then, new 0.11 since. Close to 1.25" for event."

The pattern finally changed, drought will be in the rear view mirror by the end of Summer.

Rain on the doorstep here….maybe Monday late morning it clears out….and we salvage…hope so.

probably both get together to make a decision

Who determines if a game is postponed ? The home team or MLB ? Obviously a decision favoring the Yankees because Tampa Bay is in first and HOT and the Yanks are NOT !

Low of 34F. Already 61F and nice out.

The heaviest precipitation was always expected for later this afternoon and overnight…still looking on track for most areas to get .5-1.5” today and tonight with more coming tomorrow night and Monday.

Seems like a major forecast bust per my PWS, but too bad it’s not a little colder?
