Nifty little downpour here. Lots of thunder. A little more is coming soon.

JFK dropped from 92 to 83 in minutes with a slight shift in wind direction. I have experienced this hundreds of times on the beach as the seabreeze fights an offshore flow. Sometime it can be as drastic as 20 degrees in seconds .

I hadn’t had a chance to put together our site’s seasonal snowfall progress update for April, but I’ve finally had some time to sum it up. The updated seasonal snowfall progression plot is below, and this season (shown in the red line) doesn’t look like it’s going to finish in there among the upper echelon of top 5 seasons. It’s certainly been a solid snowfall season though, and as you can see from the plot, it’s sitting in that zone between 2008-2009 (orange line) and that grouping of snowier seasons. The month of April itself was fairly average from a snow perspective, delivering 6 days with snowfall, 4 accumulating storms, 6.6 inches of snow, and 12 days with snow on the ground. Even though it doesn’t look like the winter of 2025-2026 is going to be a record snowfall season, I can already see that it’s going to have a number of records associated with it like the highest number of December snowstorms, highest number of March snowstorms, etc. And on that note, it has now set the record for the greatest number of accumulating storms at 66. This beats out the previous record of 64 storms held by the 2018-2019 season, and this season’s detailed winter storm list to date is provided below: We’ve only had a trace of snow at most this May, so there’s nothing new to add to the season total, but I’ll do a full season report when we get to June. The data from my last report indicated that the season was looking to end up in the range of 180-190” of snowfall, and indeed that’s right where things stand. The odds of ending up in that range are now near 100% I checked where the Vermont ski areas stand for season snowfall, and the north to south listing of totals is below. The resorts along the spine of the Northern Greens all surpassed the 300” mark, and Jay Peak exceeded 400”. That’s certainly decent, but fairly typical and nothing near record breaking. Being around 300” is average for those resorts, aside from Jay Peak where the average is ~350”, so they were definitely a bit ahead of the game since they surpassed 400”. Most of the rest of the resorts saw <200” of snowfall, which is not uncommon for the southern resorts, but is below average for some of the central resorts. Jay Peak: 410” Burke: 173” Smuggler’s Notch: 312” Stowe: 310” Bolton Valley: 307” Mad River Glen: 192” Sugarbush: 234” Pico: 195” Killington: 195” Okemo: 129” Bromley: 178” Magic Mountain: 112” Stratton: 153” Mount Snow: 130”

Boomer developing NW and western nj. While out on a training day for work. Gorgeous weather from bay head to belmar nj. Beautiful ocean breeze kept temps diwn a bit but once further inland it was brutal. Got up to 97 in red bank, nj.

Yup. My 5pm Gaithersburg to Reisterstown drive should be long.

Did somebody say cold front? All I feel is a gentle breeze with a few clouds passing by on another fine mid 80s afternoon! We take and bake, no questions asked!

I didnt hear no bell

Commute home looks entertaining

Several LSRs out of Frederick County, MD. Looks like they were the "winners" today.

Random TW from RLX near Charleston, WV

I need that cell out near the plains to hold together and not drift north. Still hasn't shown a microburst signature of collapse yet, but the gust front is far out ahead of it so I doubt it can keep going forever.

There were a few of us who mentioned we would see a flip to significantly warmer weather (even some heat and humidity) moving into the second half of May

Wind signature near The Plains.

Gust front blowing through here right now. Windy.

At end of April, folks were calling for May 2005. nor'easter after nor'easter and wheel o rhea.

Got some rain here in Hazleton, but it looks like the show (if there is one) is staying south of Tamaqua as of right now.

Need to build that line south to get some breathing room.

WB 18Z RRFS thru early am Friday.

Southern severe cell is aimed directly at my backyard. Time to see if it falls apart or microbursts overhead.

Sunny and 59 feels pretty nice tbh

HRRR is well underdone..... lots of rain in Frederick area. I did not post earlier but the WB RRFS from 12Z did very well for this afternoon. Will start using it.

And the wedge stays longer than depicted...

Patiently waiting here in Alexandria

Once again, Central Park is running several degrees lower then the rest of the area. Even JFK is running higher this afternoon! This gets worst every year and is an embarrassment at this point! The NWS should take away their classification as the official NYC weather site if the parks conservation isn't willing to either trim vegetation surrounding the sensor or move the sensor back to the pre 1996 site!

Wrong tense.
