I hate this weather this early. 84 today and probably everyday until Sunday. I absolutely hate freaking summer. Sorry but eff summer.

We always look ahead. Onward.

Why bring up next week other than to bring misery? It like getting a foot of snow knowing 3 days later a screamer is coming and people dwelling on that

It’s coming. It’s just a question of how much fescue you’ll lose between now and then.

WB 18Z GFS. May want hold off planting annuals in the NW burbs; flirting with freezing Tuesday am after a strong cold front rolls through this weekend with decent rain forecasted....

Is rain a reliable bet here tonight? Want to throw down some fert real quick, but not if it’s going to be dry

Second marriage and I’m 32. So just a bit off

I’m here for work and it’s great to be back… but I’m pretty sure my coworker and I just had a literal run in with a murder hornet

Prepare for an attack

I hit 73F today. It was nice. But what does that have to do with next week?

Mesonet topped me out at 88.6 IMBY I like warm weather, but I'd prefer acclimating to it first...

It’s amazing how some folks like to try and kill people enjoying weather they love. It sucks to be on the wrong side of the front . I get that. But you and Scoots just trying to shit on folks that got lucky https://imgur.com/a/WH4har0#bKvnrZu

I can't find climate-specific data regarding the accuracy of modeled -NAO(+NAO) index values, at different time ranges... Then considering seasons? no chance. Good luck trying to find what no one has apparently ever sicced a red-eyed grad student on because it doesn't apparently exist. That said, I'm personally certain that -NAOs modeled beyond D7 have a deplorably bad verification score, where as ...those scheduled to manifest between D3 and 6 ( mid range) are the ones that most often materialize. This -NAO in the guidance since last week is a nice candidate to test Charlie Browning with that particular index, because it's been out there in the extended index prog a lot longer than 7 days. Thing is... I wouldn't be shocked if there is at least some sort of -NAO observed down wind and time of this warm anomaly over the eastern mid latitude continent. That's a correlation actually that I have personally seen. It doesn't say anything to magnitude or west or eastern limb. But warms up --> cools down/-NAO is progression. The 12z Euro is attempting to abandon the -NAO by D8/9 now ...and it reminds of the fragility in modeling that index is all. It could go either way.

Yep, smh Monday seemed like they were turning a corner...but obviously still a lot of work to do.

@Eskimo Joethis is the best place for us Southern MD and Eastern Shore peeps for future Mesonet site adds

Why would look forward to a few days nest 60 ?

Sun contaminated thermometers at 990’ will struggle next week.

WPC md out for our leftovers tonight edit: maybe more than leftovers for the lucky. With adequate destabilization taking place, ongoing storms over northeast IA will likely continue eastward. These storms have shown some organization into linear segments and at least weak storm scale rotation already. Additional storm development (possibly more discrete) is likely ongoing across northern IL. With storm coverage expected to increase with time, a severe risk appears plausible. A WW may be needed.

CC exerting itself in insidious ways. Like, April 15, backdoor front comes through ... and it cools us back down to above average instead of insanely above average.

O’s S the bed twice in 24 hours.

Friday could be a very volatile severe weather event up north in IA/WI/N IL/E MN based on what I'm seeing come off the latest guidance. Going to almost certainly need a thread for it.

i actually had to wear a t-shirt today..

Yep after this week, it’s all a dream for another month
