A gorgeous cool evening for the Newtown Heritage Festival. Lots of festival-goers in fleece and blankets for the fireworks last night. Incredible for this time of year. Easily, the best prolonged stretch of weather i have ever seen this time of year. Yesterday afternoon when I was grilling I went and sat down in the sun and the warmth in the cool breeze was just so relaxing. This must be what summer feels like in central Canada. Delightful.

Weren't those 15-20 minutes magnificent though? Cloudy, breezy, and 56 here currently.

68 here yesterday was pretty good when the sun was out, today might be close to normal here around 70.

I think we could hit 70 today

How long is this flower show running Don? I want to see it today, it's completely sunny and really nice today (aside from the winds).

These late season upper cold pools are great if you like higher elevation snows.

Were you by any chance walking around in Hawaiian shirts? We were in the ‘port for part of the day

It’s already 60 and the neighborhood all talkin’ about how nice it is out. Jump on Amwx and you’d never know. Buncha Debbie’s in GWDLT territory.

38 for the low, currently 55 under sunny skies.

Everything was primed for -AO/-NAO high latitude blocking that winter. Textbook. Solar minimum, -QBO, Modoki El Niño, Atlantic “tripole”…..

should have been more clear, it was for a buddy of mine. Ended up a mediocre day. Breaks of sun but also random 3 minute downpours. Cool breeze the whole time. Fun time obviously, but you expect better weather this time of year.

Put your man pants on. T shirt and jeans and you’re good.

BKN skies now. It’ll probably be a battle all day between destructive sunshine and slightly drying mid levels.

5/24 / Yesterdays highs - wet park remains the coolest ACY: 70 EWR: 69 PHL: 68 JFK: 68 BLM: 67 ISP: 67 New Brnwsck: 67 TTN: 66 TEB: 66 LGA: 65 NYC: 64

Had an outdoor wedding to go to yesterday near Manor Tsvern in Baltimore county - 3:00 start - the winds kinda sucked and it was pretty chilly.

This should clear right out.

Worst weather today looks west and south with a weak shortwave diving in that same direction. Downslope helps us maximize conditions again in the east while mid level confluence sends that weak disturbance south of us.

Feels downright cold out. Says it's 55 but with the breeze more like 51. This weekend blows.

Breeze is light to moderate, Sun is strong. It's gorgeous out.

Hit 64 yesterday; today should top that. 68ish in view. It’s been a stair step since Thurs (rock bottom). Definitely an okay weekend for hanging out at least and bbq’n

Low of 49 here in the lowlands. It's absolutely beautiful this morning. The temp is already up to 60 in my garden as the morning sun advances across it.
