GFS is 50's

I hope so. Might not even hit 70F here Weds.

Kevin seems way too optimistic about everything.

Just an insane amount of pollen all over everything this week . Clouds of it blowing thru air . Any open windows are caked with it on the sills and floor below

Good call

CT starts Wednesday

Thursday it starts.

Pretty much as expected. NW areas out of severe drought, with no change in eastern/southeastern areas.

Right about 2" for the month, and the same for April. Ooof. Plenty of sprinkler action over the next week with nothing but dry in the forecast.

Wednesday onwards is straight 80’s thru day 10

Hard hard pass

can do these dumb warm vs cold wars in a banter thread? Seriously if you don’t like someone’s forecast or analysis you’re free to do your own and contribute to this thread.

This is NOT my idea of post Memorial Day weather...

Have to bag mine. It's very tall 6 inches. Might even have some dollar spot. Been so moist and cloudy. Will cut it tomorrow as the soil should be firmer and dew point even lower.

(Whoops, wrong thread - will leave it here unless someone wants to move it) I finished my ski season at Mammoth on 5/24. Still a decent variety of terrain open - all in the 9-11k elevation band (and crucially, all north facing). Mammoth had a below average season, but not epically bad like the rest of the west. They were helped by a few massive storm cycles in December and February, but more crucially, their elevation and exposure made the Western US March heat dome less of an extinction event. Then, they had an above average April with nearly 100" of snow. Projected closing date is 6/7. The first photo is looking down toward the base terminal of Chair 23 from the top of "Scotty's." The second photo is near the Western entrance of Yosemite at Tioga Pass.

Right over your head, not surprising. The people in here call for warmth and get boned up over it 24/7 and post from the upper mid-west and NE. That is what nearly every post is about and what people care to talk about. If you live in a desert, guess what, it is hot and sometimes breaks heat records. Why does that shock you? People there still live perfectly fine too, imagine that.

Nice, heading to Camden waterfront for a concert. Good night for it

A -2.6 F departure against our warmest 30 year average doesn’t even break top 50 coldest Januaries here LMAO. We’ve become so accustomed to the warmer climate we’re in now that what would’ve been considered a completely average, seasonably cold Jan just half a decade ago is now somehow standout cold to some. Also, as I mentioned in the Great Lakes sub forum, I rarely visit this board because it’s overrun with denialism, clueless takes, and the same braindead fools (many who happen to trolls as well) repeating themselves on loop, downplaying every warm up that’s headed their way. Pair that with people who are either unwilling or incapable of engaging with (because their heads are so far removed from reality) and there’s not much worth sticking around for. I’ve got better things to do than sit around and obsess over ho-hum 2-3 day cool shots that eventually get overshadowed by far more impressive heat pulses/ridges later on, or one slightly below average month followed by a several months of above to well above average temps. I’ve come to terms with this new climate, and I’m at peace (unlike many others on here). Winter never even arrived for the western half of the country, and the Desert Southwest experienced arguably the most extreme temperature event on record, but these people (if you can even call them people) choose to lose their minds over a largely average winter in the East, and an underwhelming first half of May in terms of cold.

The next 7 days look like ass. Which for work I approve but for summer fun and yard stuff…not so much.

They do provide weather reports for our local NPR radio station. I’m sure you are psyched about that.

The weathafella Father's day rule applies this year, it seems

Gonna be a perfect fishing/bonfire evening at the beach later.

well we actually got a passing shower in NW Philly (and a few serious wind gusts), which I believe technically brings us to 9 consecutive days with rain, although today's was not measurable

Yeah, it’s why I seldom frequent this board tbh. It’s a stagnant echo chamber propped up by denialism and people who are completely out of touch with reality (especially the older crowd/boomers). Add in the same recycled, low-effort trolling from the usual suspects as you mentioned, and it’s hard to take anything seriously here. That aside, it was a great spring overall, arguably close to how nice 2024 was.
