Absolutely loving this weather. Looks like after a warmup early next week it turns cooler again thereafter. I'm sure the pattern will flip on a dime and we'll go from the 60s to 90s in 2 days. I didn't realize we hit 90 (officially at MU at least) while I was away a couple of weeks ago.

54.2” here in Nanuet, NY.

10th-14th is a transition period suggested by the numerical trajectories ...albeit recently emergent. However, it was at least vaguely hinted starting 5 or so days back. As of a last night's computation from all three major source, GEFs, EPS, GEPs, there's movement toward a neutral EPO, -PNA state. That's basically shutting down BN. Adding to that presumption, the AO and NAO are flat-lined, perhaps seasonally too. That tells me that the op. Euro's extended warm surge into the latitudes of the lower Lakes ( huge swarm outbreak in the Euro 300 hours btw -), with 80s to southern Ontario may not be dependable per se, but at least the principle of a bigger flip is well founded. We'll see where it goes. Personally lean to this having legs tho

At least by that time the Mets attempted replay of their 1962 inaugural season will be over. Stay hopeful, as always ……

Low of 34 this am. With another frost/freeze possible Saturday night up here. I had .60" of rain with the Wed rainfall. Looks like another .25 possible tonight. There is no drought conditions in my location, but just to my east is in moderate conditions. So we absolutely need more rain. Especially as we head into summer. I know a lot of folks are hating this pattern. I for one, am loving it! This time of year, these temps aren't brutal where you can't handle it. 5 to 15 degrees below average; is manageable when the average high is near 70 for most locations. Im all for holding off those extreme summer temps as long as possible. The inevitable death ridges will be upon us soon enough, for months on end. Then we will be begging for relief. :).

Dam…never realized that. Birds can be ferocious. Animal world is certainly no joke. Chicken be like, No offense…but I need to eat, so it’s game on. Great information.

I simply posed a question I did not say it was proof of anything...I unlike some understand when the n is way too short - LOL!!

Hmmm. What gives them confidence in high winds that far out? Seems odd. Doesn't seem to be a particularly strong storm signal or anything.

It’s interesting that the CFS is also showing a -WPO at least in December.

Beautiful morning. The grass really responded after the rain yesterday. 46° but full sun is always a win.

It takes a lot of prep to put this in your bookmarks for quick and easy access.

really getting tired of "trough east". Hoping for a good ole fashioned heat dome to set in.

. Agree. It caught my attention this am.

Ate it. They are voracious mini t-rexes if they get a chance. I’ve seen them eat frogs, salamanders, newborn chipmunks, and even a hummingbird…lol. The hummer hit the window and was either stunned or near death and the chicken found it. I chased after it, but it ran to the other side of the yard with it and after a certain point you just let them do what they want with it to take it out of its misery faster.

58.2” in Commack

Dont need that

Patchy frost to end the month. 3.25” of precipitation in April at MSP

37F for morning low in Lancaster. .

Had the same issue when I lived there with our new construction: the builder stole everyone's topsoil and sold it, leaving you with unusable subsoil and sand that they just threw sod over (which looked nice for the final walkthrough but quickly died). Wasted years trying to get anything to grow. If you have the time/money, I'd recommend getting the entire yard covered with several inches of topsoil and re-seed.

Yea, WPO was still + on the season technically per calculation, but no doubt there was more volatility this season. I think we are likely to see that continue.

This was one of our most -WPO winters in years. Maybe it’s related to the warm pool east of Japan extending all the way across to California. When the warm pool was there and we had a cold pool near California it lead to the 22-23 winter and the strong +WPO.

Yep… Triangle will be lucky to net 0.25”. Sorry for jinxing it… That being said I’ll take any measurable rainfall I can get and it will help with soil moisture at the surface as it will be an all day dreary scenario

Monthly stats- it was a wild month for swings temp wise. Lowest temp was 32.6 while we peaked at 93.7. Had 4 straight days over 90 and 6 total for the month. That was countered with 4 mornings in the 30’s. Lots of areas around here saw frosts and freezes that were past climo. The real story of the month will be the lack of rainfall. Just 0.83” total IMBY. I think RDU was a tick above that as they got a little more from the first rainfall in early April but I think they were likely below 1” as well. This was the 4th month of the last 8 I have recorded under 1” imby
