Gorgeous day from freehold to little ferry, nj today. 83 degrees with a slight breeze. Perfect!

Whats you're system size (AC and DC)? Curious about specific yield

Brings back another memory. Don't remember the year, but we had an April storm with strong NE winds that blew the last remaining ice that was nearer Duluth into the Duluth canal, and along Park Point. It was so thick from piling on itself, that the next day, an ore boat was leaving, and tried to make it through the ice at the end of the piers. It couldn't push through, so it had to back up, and redock. The CG cutter Sundew, which was a cutter stationed at the CG station there in the Duluth Harbor (retired in 2004) had to go and make a path through that ice. Took a good day or more to loosen the ice. It was a good 10-15' or more thick. Slabs of ice piled on top of each other. Just a note, but the CG cutter Makinaw was retired in 2006. It was 240 ft long. The Sundew was 180 ft long. Mackinaw was a brute, and could handle much more ice than the Sundew. Hence, during the 1996 shipping opener, she was the work horse leading the boats for a few weeks that season. The ice during that year was running 1-2' thick across the Lake, and as melting was on going, winds would pile the ice to some degree, making it hard for ore boats to navigate, and the threat of open lanes quickly closing, and crushing the boats was the reason for the Mackinaw's extra duty that year.

Another good soak here

79 for the high in Rou today.

Nice near 80 day here today (and yesterday and probably tomorrow). Heading to my grandson’s graduation midweek-should be 100+ 50 miles east of SFO. Quick trip to be able to get back in time to teach my class Friday afternoon.

37.8 this morning and topped out at 76.8 this afternoon. Days like this: wall to wall sunshine, no bugs, no humidity, slight pleasant breeze is like chicken soup for the soul. Rolled down the windows, cranked up the sound and drove to Davis for an early dinner. Just perfect outside.

82 at my stations. Was toasty at the baseball field in C Islip until seabreeze kicked in this afternoon.

Yeah outside the last one, most Ninas at least have one good wintry couple week period.

A lot of high temperature records from the late 1800s/early 1900s still stand.. I'm surprised reading the transcripts from settlers in the 1700s, about Winter weather that is not much different from today. It's obviously trended warmer, but they really had some warm Winters back then too. I think the threat is always there for some extreme flux, given the two polar blocking regions are land, Greenland and Alaska. remember that KC Chiefs playoff game this year when the windchill was -35F south in latitude of here?

Moss Glen Falls on the Stowe/Morrisville line. Largest in Vermont at 130 feet. Scale doesn’t show up well in the photo. Nice day to be outside.

Here we go with highs suppose to get into the 120s in Death Valley 7-Day Forecast 35.99N 116.75W (weather.gov) Hadley Cell expansion, which has given us a ridge in the Winter lately is partially connected to what happens in the SW, US, and the drought they have seen there since 1995. For colder periods this Winter, I don't want to see a hot/dry Summer there..

Hi Roger! Hope you’re doing well. 25/12/6 https://x.com/tbrite89/status/1797020748181086679

GFS drunk again

85 here today. Felt comfortable and nice breeze.

0.69”. Another overperformer. Parking lots and streets flood now with even some light to moderate rain

Tomorrow will be partly to mostly sunny with temperatures topping out in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Warm spots could again reach the middle 80s. Rain could arrive late Wednesday or Thursday. The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.2°C for the week centered around May 22. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.40°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.45°C. Neutral conditions are imminent. The SOI was +4.23 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.635 today.

Yeah another top 10 day. currently 78/45 and there hasn’t been a single cloud. my apologies the the humidity humpers

I didn't mean that the data in the chart is not meaningful. However, there are better ways to judge overall temperatures for subseasonal and seasonal periods. For example, using only metrics such as used by Heller, there could be a July where the temperature spikes to let's say 100° in Philadelphia, but the month overall could wind up cooler than normal. Heller's type of analysis would flag it as "hot" if he is scoring things based on 100° days. Meanwhile, there could be another July where the monthly anomaly is +2.5°, but the highest maximum temperature is 97°. If Heller is using 100° days, his analysis would flag the month as "cool." Period average highs, lows, and means do a better job in assessing the outcome for the period in question.

More than likely, the ongoing marine heatwaves in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean are contributing to the excessive warmth seen in Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, etc. The dry conditions are likely amplifying the heat in northeast Mexico and southwest Texas. It is plausible that a global threshold has been passed. I suspect the outcomes during and after the developing La Niña will provide greater insight.

Warm, desert dry and bugs at a minimum. Sign me up for this weather subscription.

12z GFS for next Saturday:

Agreed. Ninas have been better here overall since 2016, save for the third in the trifecta the winter before last, which was historically bad for all the major cities/burbs from Richmond to NYC.

84 /42 and nothin but blue skies. So Cal kind of day. Stunning

I don't know what to root for in the winter anymore.
