Tiny sample size, but I wonder how the summers in those years turned out. I know '77 was the year with the brutal heatwave and legendary blackout.

could be a sneaky interesting day if we can get something to pop

Only 0.17" here from the broken line of storms last evening. My April total is 5.56".

ISP hit 81

It’s not just 2023 though. Didn’t Nino years like 1976(or was it 1977) and 2002 do the same? I know 2002 had April heat and a very cool May. Obviously those years didn’t end up being strong Nino. I think it’s more of just a “Nino thing” regardless of eventual strength.

Oh yeah all fruit and flowering trees are in bloom. All maples have tiny leaves and even some Oak species have popped . I’d suspect after the next 2 still warm ish days everything will have leafed

Barely managed to carry pack into April, only to 4/1. Average here is April 6 and it's ranged from March 13 (05-06, only 7.8" after Jan 1) to April 24 (00-01, 55.5" in March, 48" pack on 3/31). Average days with 1"+ is 123, and for consecutive, 116. Range is 81 days in 15-16 to 163 in 18-19, consecutive 73 (11-12) and 162 (also 18-19). Earliest start of consecutive pack was Nov 10, 2018 and latest Jan 4, 2000.

Trading today for a much better Friday. Possibly Saturday too as I’ll be in Portland

Gotta watch exactly where that boundary ends up because we may see some transient supercells along it

We talk about NC a lot in here but man the upstate and especially southern half of GA and Florida are in even worse shape with almost those entire areas in D3 or D4

Clearing is actively working N-E ...question for me is whether there's a temp burst as that CT runs over as the sun is shining thru. interesting

nice to see that...we'll see how it works out. There's quite a bit of clearing sweeping up across the area at mid and u/a levels according to high res vis loop this hour. As that expands over this sludge it will be interesting to see how the mid April sun goes to war over top. The day glow is also already elevating over the last 10 min here so my est for 11 am might not be so bad.

Eh....maybe more like replacement level...say Darren Bragg https://www.fangraphs.com/players/darren-bragg/83/stats/batting

The good news is that this is one week w/o that crap-sometimes the whole month is lost to BDCF/east flow

Not directly New England golf related but what do people make of the LIV Golf news? LIV Golf not shutting down? CEO says 2026 season will be completed amid speculation over Saudi Arabia funding I don't think I would have an issue with a competing tour if the product they provided was at all comparable to the PGA Tour. Right from the start though I was skeptical about 54 holes, limited fields and no cuts. The shotgun starts didn't work for me either and don't even get me started on the stupid loud music blaring on every hole. I don't have an issue with music or shotgun starts when I am playing but it just didn't work me watching a tournament. As for the players that left? I don't blame many of them for taking the money but I do think some of them have definitely tarnished their reputations. Greg Norman and Phil Mickelson in particular seem to have done lasting damage. On the other hand, LIV forced the PGA Tour to make some changes that resulted in a better product in some ways. If LIV dies though, I won't miss it.

Yup!

This time of year it’s only a matter of when and how much we’re paying for a summer like stretch like this.

I’m sure we’ll start getting occasional breaks around 4p and clear out by 6p.

Wow Brian….dam that sucks for you guys there. Pushing 80 already here.

CANSIPs shows lingering nina-like convection in the maritime continent, while the CFS shows a classic nino response that slowly propagates eastward into winter.

5 out of the last 10 have been mid-range here (between 18-30) just 30 miles SE of NYC. I'd say that is more Ted Williams.

Satellite isn't exactly arguing you're going to get a better day out of this shit roll

Caved and put the stove on. 51.9°

The nightly lows in the low 60s make the daytime 90s not feel so bad. If only July was the same.
