We get 60 in January now. Time to warm it up.

Big boys out there yesterday.

JB thinks around June 10th or so the rubberband could possibly snap. Then the heat will come along with those nighttime thunderstorms coming over the top of the ring of fire. So I guess we'll see what happens. Forecasts always change. Also JB is thinking early Tropical development in the Gulf in early June and possibly coming north along the east coast. I hope not.

Pretty nice morning... unless you're a Toronto Maple Leafs fan

Sit inside with sports/Netflix and be comfortable.

I saw an article about the polar vortex being "dislodged" and that it doesn't look to retreat back anytime soon. I know the talk was about Phoenix and the west having a hot and dry summer, so that correlates to us being cool and wet. Heard that the pattern might linger well into June.

Gorgeous morning, 54 and clear skies.

It's my favorite time of year particularly post labor day when all the tourists are gone. Weather/water is nice and warm well into September

WOW! https://x.com/i/status/1924240496618037350

Seen some places could get close to 2-3in. of rain and those cool temps to boot. I guess you'll have to go into hibernation like a bear until this pattern breaks.

The average high temperatures have been impressively warm also. JFK is currently 2nd highest for spring high temperatures nearly tied with 2010. But the absolute max is way back in the pack at only 82° for spring. This was due to some many spring 70° days. It would be the equivalent to a high number of summer 85° days at JFK but a low number of 90° or 95° days. This is why JFK hasn’t seen a 100° day since 2013.

NE winds whistling through the units.

What a beautiful morning out

But what will become of those who foolishly installed?

If you don't have kids schedules to worry about- Late August/Sept is a great time for the beach-warm water, still warm weather and less crowds

Rain not withstanding, I just perused the models, and surface temps on Wednesday, per the Euro and the GFS, keep me in the upper 40's for a high temperature. Absurd...

I never fails how in recent years we reliably get these cool and wet cutoff lows this time of year. The upper bowling ball is really going to take its time clearing the area this week. Just look at how many top 3 low max readings a place like LGA has had since 2011 from late May into early June. I have bolded all the top 3 coldest years since 2011. This late May into early June cool down is almost as reliable as the warm up every December around the solstice.

February 2015 was impressively cold on a regional basis here in the Northeast ranking as our only top 10 coldest month in the Northeast since 2010. While there have been over 50 top 10 warmest months since then. February 2015 was the 2nd coldest on record in the Northeast. But nationally it was only the 52nd coldest since the geographic footprint of the cold was very small. Back in the old days these Arctic outbreaks covered much more real estate and weren’t limited to localized geographic regions. February 1979 was the 3rd coldest on record in the Northeast and was also the 7th coldest nationally.

When are you heading back to Garrett county for another Mesonet install

What a crap look for the next week. Only saving grace , Sunday and Monday look like the best of the bunch. Salvage some of the holiday weekend.

+1 Currently have a departure of +1.2 for this month so far, as of May 18th, but the upcoming cooler than normal stretch this week into next week would make May the coldest month of Spring 2025 by the time the month is over.

This is a historic tornado that just hit Plevna KS, already seeing homes leveled - not sure how much of Plevna was destroyed as reports are showing mainly the west part was hit. Apparently the gtg got to 250mph just before hitting. What is it with night time monsters this year? Every event.
