All Activity

No choice once he realizes he installed it backwards.

Actually, just speaking from personal observation, it's the Sun. Does higher CO2 deplete the ozone to make the sun shine brighter to ground heat?

67/44. Beautiful night Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

What? I don’t know what TL or DR means, but those monthly anomalies would result in one of the hottest summers on record surely.

Killington was pretty fun this past Sunday. Walking required, but not bad. Chance of rain seemed to keep the crowds down. Skiing was fine with a few decent icy trough bump lines to be had. Met some pretty hardcore riders on the lift, one guy had skied 194 days this past season. Day 100 for me, I’m probably done. Good to end on a nice round number.

Watching evolution & southward progression of the new MCCs ongoing in the hill country (northwest of Austin), and in NM going into tonight, as of typing this. Looks to definitely effect San Antonio area this evening. - - - Got a strong outflow front from the MCS moving through Houston area and out over the Gulf earlier this morning with some 50 mph gusts and heard some nice CGs, along with some more modest rainfall. Things are probably too stable now over NTX - SETX for much of anything else through tonight from this morning’s sharply organized system. But would think it’ll pick up again in those regions by later tomorrow/night. Especially with some better ML shortwave energy projected to track through the state at times this weekend on both Euro & GFS.

With apologies to May 30th, Mike Vecchione is turning into Mr. June.

76 today. Beautiful

WGAL throws down the gauntlet and says you may need an umbrella for Sunday golf in Lanco.

Right now, SPC has a Marginal Risk for west/middle TN. As BB tweeted earlier, if we can get some instability tomorrow, the kinematics are there. One must wonder if this is a sleeper threat that should be upgraded to a Slight Risk sooner rather than later?

A Historically great end to May weather wise

May 2024 averaged 69.3 degrees at DCA, tied for 16th warmest in DC history (2015 is warmest at 73.2 and 1882 is coolest at 59.2). January-May 2024 at DCA averaged 53.2, 4th warmest in DC history, behind 2012 (54.4), 2023 (53.7), and 2017 (53.3).

This is how you draw up a Saturday to start June. BTV is certainly enthused. We can look forward to a warming trend as we begin meteorological summer. Saturday looks to be gorgeous days for outdoor activities, with highs 74-82, plentiful sunshine and comfortable humidity. Area waters are still on the cool side with water temperatures in the low to mid 60s. Given that it is the weekend and with sunny condition and temperatures reaching the low 80s, cold water safety should be exercised for those taking advantage of the gorgeous weather. While upper ridging builds in from the west, we do maintain a light northerly flow below 850mb level so the air mass will be continental polar in nature. Dew points will be in the 40s so the weather will be gorgeous to be outdoors.

Don't even look at it wrong.

Don't touch it, unless you hear the noise again.

78 / 42 out there just gorgeous.

It took eight lives including four tornado chasers.

Well this is odd. I’m about to take the AC out of the window so I can open the casing and see what’s going on. But my girlfriend says let’s turn it in and try again. With it light out we may be able to see inside a bit better. We turn it on…and it runs smoothly with no noise lol

23/13/6

Scattered showers most of the day here. Temps bouncing between 64-66 all day. Looks like more organized rain is moving in to cap off a very wet month.

May finished with a mean temperature of 65.1° (1.9° above normal) in New York City. A warm and generally dry weekend with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s lies ahead. Afterward, the first half of next week will be dry with temperatures topping out in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Warm spots could 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 +9.29 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.350 today. On May 28 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 1.457 (RMM). The May 27-adjusted amplitude was 1.609 (RMM).
