Northern Pike

Since Summer 2002, just about every super dry period has been equaled out after by super wet. This year we have an El Nino seemingly kicking in.

WB latest EURO weeklies for June. No big heat....

Didn't this happen last week? 80 to 90, Mon-Wed, followed by a piece of shit weekend? huh

Today’s Euro rainfall for 5/25-31: still very impressive with even heavier for parts of AL/GA/SC (dark green area, which has ~3.5-4”+, is larger) although not quite as wet for E NC/Triangle/Triad as yesterday’s even though still quite wet. This would be what the drought doc ordered/dream come true. This is one of the most widespread very heavy Euro weekly rainfall maps outside of a tropical cyclone that I’ve ever seen! Many tropical cyclones don’t produce this much over such a large area! For this reason, although I’ve once again gotten nothing measurable and have had only 0.3” for the last 3+ weeks (its been like there’s a force-field here), I’m still excited about the prospects:

Alligator gar?

all the way to 78 here in Ayer. wow. That 77 next door in KFIT's a pretty big MOS bust

It’s gross. And feels very warm like many think Memorial Day should be. House AC is on now.

Is that you on the left in green jacket?

Warmer temperatures lie ahead. The temperature will rise to above normal levels for tomorrow through Thursday. Exceptional heat is unlikely. It will turn somewhat cooler to end the week. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.0°C for the week centered around May 20. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.72°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.83°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI was -25.41 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.581 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 70% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.8° (0.6° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 1.3° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

That was a crazy game. They were out of it so many times. Got saved by the overturned call at home.

Insanity

You may get it!

Cowser with back to back days with a walk off home run. I mean you can't make it up.

What a recovery…total 180 from the morning. Pretty awesome outside

The final numbers from today's historic heat in France:

LOL Orioles

Turned out way nicer and earlier than previously thought. I guess half a day out of 3 whole ones will have to do. The remaining 85% of the weekend blew chunks no matter what a certain red tagged from SNH says

Picked up 2 inches today, with more on the radar headed my way.

That looks awful.

Northern Pike?

Today is way more humid than I thought it'd be

I'll see your barred owl and raise you a tanager and waxwing. Big migration in the past week.

Obviously I certainly hope so. Ever since moving here, I've been surprised at the overall lack of precip but I also know we've been in a long term drought for ages. After this wet stretch, we go right back into the dust bowl unfortunately. In looking at the stats for winter 15-16 (you can't use the Oakland weather stats...the reporting site is right next to the hospital building and is wildly inaccurate, so I use Bayard as a proxy - whoever is their observer does a great job) you had the bomb in January and some other precip during the second half of winter but overall, it's what you would expect during a significant El Nino. @dailylurker and I communicate regularly and have been looking for a reasonably priced snow camp up on the Tug Hill east of Lake Ontario to get our fix...maybe we'll be lucky enough not to need it this upcoming winter!
