Starting to feel like the mid-Atlantic again with a nice little return of humidity. Clouds have been under forecast, but that’s par for the course. Hopefully the sun can break thru this afternoon.

One blob of clouds over the eastern US and it's literally shaped like Maryland and on top of us.

Any thoughts about June turning the corner with more rainfall via the WAR.

23-24 was "la nino" which I'm afraid we are on pace to repeat. Dec-Mar was very wet though, so line up a -NAO and it could be good just like other Strong Nino's. DJF NAO 23-24 was +1.08/month that Winter.. since March is not recently much of a Winter month

Hope its COC too. The over dramatic posts about 6 hrs of 90s is pretty funny. Just like those 20 degree days in Nov get people pumped , but it's faux winter, still a month away from deep deep summer but this preview is sweet

Just saying what my wunderground forecast shows. I’m sorry it’s not showing blazing heat and humidity. Don’t take offense to it

Bombed ?

not to bad outside a little warm but their was nice breeze blowing.

And it’s gone. Realistic hope is to get some action as the boundary reignites just to my west in the early afternoon.

Cold morning inland with temps running in the 30's with some 20's. Ash Lake (SE of I-Falls) had a 24 reading.

We will see a brief stretch of above normal temperature days through mid-week before we turn back to below normal temperatures by Thursday and through the Memorial Day Weekend. Many lower valley locations should reach 90 degrees both tomorrow and Tuesday. Higher spots across Chester County will always struggle to touch 90. Rain chances increase by Wednesday PM with the cold front, and it does look a bit unsettled as we move into the holiday weekend.

A lot of it will come down to timing. Latest runs are playing nice, but a little change here and there could muck up a day or two.

DJFM averaged out positive, +0.05/month. December had -0.97 but +EPO overwhelmed it. the negative H5 in the pacific extended north to +EPO that Winter, which dominated. It had short periods of blocking.

Lots of 60s and 70s on the gfs and euro. 70s on both models for Memorial Day.

Summer

The 97-98 winter actually had -NAO/-AO blocking

Nice little shower event!!!!

Yeah, a pure 82-83 or 97-98 type Nino wouldn't be bad if it happened like 6 times out of 10. you might still get above average temps, but line up a -NAO with the STJ... I contend that +NAO isn't a constant with east-based Nino's like history suggests, It's more random than it appears in limited analogs.

Absolutely. This is what I have been getting at with the RONI focus.

These next 3-4 days will be nice but forecast for the holiday weekend is low 60’s/50’s with clouds and rain Fri straight through Monday. That’ll def spoil a lot of plans if it plays out like that

30% containment on the fire. Winds are switching to the NE off the Lake. Any flare ups could send sparks over the fire lines. But looks like plenty of rain tonight thru Tues a.m., so that should squash this thing.

lol… gonna be a real nice day here in S Town! Thanks for the shout Brian W.
