To this day, summer 1988 holds the record for the most 90F+ days on record at Detroit (39). With a widespread drought going on, I assume the humidity was unusually low. I was only 5 but Ill never forget seeing a grass fire ignite before my eyes. There was indeed a brief but potent (for the season) cold snap to start July. In fact, DTW had a record low of 48F on July 1st, sandwiched between a sea of record highs in June & July. That summer saw 5 days of 100F+, which is 2nd only to 1936 with 8. Nevertheless, its an absolute joke to take an alleged 32F reading at a random coop station with a very possibly faulty thermometer in an extremely rural area, in one of the last months that station kept records....and just say "hey it was 32 this day, youd never see that today". BTW the official low at Pittsburgh that day was 49F. Lmao do you know some of the insane readings that come from some of the cold spots in rural Michigan during the summer?

Thanks. Andy H said: “If this forecast is accurate, we could see the 3 big NH basins (West Pacific, East Pacific, Atlantic) all struggle to produce TCs this year.” You never know as he may be into something. But based on the Euro and other things and the fact that no El Niño is forecasted, this sounds quite a bit overdone for the Atlantic basin. The ATL could imho easily have a NN season as the Euro predicts. But having a quiet season there seems unlikely to me. And I’m saying this being someone near the coast who would love nothing better than the lowered stress of a quiet season with last year being particularly bad. The SE US is overdue for a low stress season. But I don’t forecast based on my desires/wishcast.

Top 5 warmth across the area for the 1st week of May. EWR…5th warmest LGA….5th HPN….5th JFK….5th ISP…..4th BDR….5th PHI…..5th

once again the euro is the furthest sw and the wettest

@WxWatcher007 would not be pleased https://x.com/AndyHazelton/status/1920133584146354231

Low of 52. Need to sneak a mow in somehow today.

Through the first week Temp Dep: NYC: +4.8 LGA: +5.4 JFK: +5.5 TTN: +6.9 EWR: +6.9

I remain skeptical of calls for a wetter pattern. While I agree that there are things that may point to it, often times we see much of the precipitation off to the north and west or hook around and out of the area entirely. This has been a trend for month after month now. The latest drought monitor is out, which shows modest improvements in the more severe drought areas for NJ, but much of the more pronounced improvements in the northeast are all over central PA as well as central and western NY State.

Nice ... 67 and the sky is allowing a flood of sun in. Nice little sneaky gem day in between the shits.

Unfortunately, the Pacific Jet has been too strong during the winter. So as the gradient weakens further into the spring, the weaker jet isn’t able to act as a kicker. So these closed lows get stuck in place when people are ready for sunny spring weather. But the good news is that the northern edge of the drought areas to the north of I-80 and into CT has improved with the soaking rains there in recent days.

For sure! If Walmart had stores that only sold used goods...

we really need to develop interstellar travel.... it's either that or extinction

ya I like going just to walk around and see what they got on Sundays.. plus you get to meet some interesting people

1784 - A deadly hailstorm in South Carolina hit the town of Winnsborough. The hailstones, measuring as much as nine inches in circumference, killed several persons, and a great number of sheep, lambs and birds. (David Ludlum) 9 inches? that's larger than the current record holder!

Crap! I didn't know retiree ranch was still going on! I haven't been there since like Y2K

1803 - A freak spring storm produced heavy snow from southern Indiana to New England. The storm made sleighing possible in Massachusetts, but also ruined shade trees in Philadelphia. (David Ludlum) wow this must have had some heavy totals in NYC. a few days ago there was another storm like this in 1812.

Going to be interesting to see if it actually clears out before the afternoon now looking at a couple things. Seems like snow always clears out earlier than forecast and rain later

this definitely belongs in the winter, not right now.

I went a couple years back and found pretty cool things.. good luck and hope you guys sell tons.. If not there's always Rietta Ranch in Hubbardston every Sunday but that might be kind of far but tons of people go.

Yep! I don’t mind being there at 6 AM with the scouts because I get first look at all of the vendors merchandise!

HRRR has storms firing around 1pm in western MA

Yea, need to weight the RONI heavily.

Franklin county tag sale?

And here I am trying to go fishing this afternoon
