What a perfect april day. Going to really enjoy this stretch if it pans out as forecasted.

I frankly would prefer that to being submerged in death by the N. Atlantic. Just by personal preference, but nothing is worse - to me - than Labrador stealing time from spring and/or summer. Either way, I'm willing to bet, the 95/72 circumstance is rarer than you having the back of your balls caressed by glacial remains

Yes come July when you are 95/72 and I am 82/65 sitting on the open ocean with a sea breeze I will absolutely think of your sweating day.

Cloudless stunner in Western Mass. Need to finish up and get out of the brewery early today.

My sympathies... yeah I'm sure as this sun continues to lase the environment we're eventually flipping the boundary layer and that'll transport momentum...ie, increase wind, and ruin it. SSE flow seems to be the layout ... rotating slowing into a SW and then WSW tomorrow. During this SSE earlier phases of that ... the cold slab of polar ocean air might meld in and force the vectors to temporarily turn back W.

Totally went over my head. But with that yup...imagine having that assistance then.

51.4/24 SKC A beaut

49.1° - always feels a lot better with minimal wind

He’s asking where were those phases when we were in December. Thankfully it doesn’t mean as much as we get deeper into April and May. Neutral-Apr-P7 is nice here

Gusting mid 20s here can feel the Ocean temperature.

Cold front comes through Fri PM, but it looks mostly dry for the majority…just some dying showers.

I might be off on the time period actually. I had thought there were some significant tropical waves in that region which led to multiple significant tropical systems (where parts of Australia was hit multiple times) but I think that was actually more late January or something.

yeah we just do stand-up and occasional sprint planning - I can't stand constant meetings. low of 36F here.

These projected zonal westerly wind anomalies are completely off the charts…..

I think there's an outside shot we hit 90 next week if things progress as progged

no idea. but what significance ?

Still light ... Now 53, with high sun. Affect achieved.

wasn't there a (or multiple) significant tropical systems in that part of the hemisphere around that time?

Honestly a lot of the Columbia association trails are nice and usually not too crowded. They are all over and in theory you can get anywhere in Columbia with a trail. Also check out Patuxent Branch Trail. I like centennial lake but it’s usually pretty packed with people.

Wtf was this on Dec 10

From Dr. Roy Spencer's blog. https://www.drroyspencer.com/ Record Warmth in the Contiguous U.S. (Lower 48) For the Lower 48, the March 2026 temperature anomaly was easily the record warmest of all months in the 47+ year satellite record: +3.7 deg. C above average for all Marches. Second place goes to March 2012, with +2.2 deg. C above the mean, while 3rd place goes to December 2025 at +2.1 deg. C. Interestingly, December through April are periods of large variability for the Lower 48. All 6 of the warmest months (in terms of departures from normal) since 1979 occurred in December through April. Furthermore, all 8 of the coldest months occurred in December through April.

Zero chance the wind remains light.

We need to keep the mosquitos happy this year.
