CAPE

It has been abnormally dry for much of the region, so this should help. Looks like a soaking rain Friday and Saturday. Latest trends on the models suggest Sunday might be salvaged as the low cuts off and sinks further south and drier air filters in on the NW side.

Wasn't expecting to see much if any rain here based on the depiction on the CAMs. Heard some thunder in the early AM, now just general rain with a temp of 51. 0.33" so far.

Not exactly. This sort of a pattern is most likely to occur in Fall or Spring, and while it is a 'blocking' pattern, it is an omega block with a cutoff low that meanders around under an anticyclonic wave break, and it is not the setup we would want to see(or is very likely to occur) during winter. If we did get a high amplitude poleward extending h5 ridge in that position(as is being advertised) during winter, it would be a generally mild pattern with maritime air mass.

Impressive Omega block. Oh look, it evolves into this, another omega block with a cutoff low along the Atlantic coast. This is probably not exactly how the pattern will transpire, but a strong signal for a generally blocky regime with a cutoff low remaining off the MA/SE coast across global guidance. Pretty wild.

Impressive wave break on the GFS would set up a blocked flow with a possible cutoff low. With a E to NE flow off the cold Atlantic, late next weekend into early the following week could potentially be a chilly/gloomy period. CMC with a similar idea.

Only 0.15" of rain here and most of that fell late afternoon. Plenty of that loud, elevated convection type thunder around overnight though.

Low of 39.

Looks like a pretty active period coming up mid week into next weekend. The cooler temps would be mostly related to that period featuring clouds and rain. Looks like 60-65 on the GEFS. Nothing unusual.

61 with RH of 22% approaching noon. What a day to be outside.

Another month or so and anything resembling a cool night will be hard to come by until maybe September.

low of 37 here. Beautiful day upcoming.

63 with a dp of 21. Glorious.

Mount Holly- On Saturday, further modification of the airmass is expected despite northwest winds 10-15 mph continuing. High temperatures are expected to be mostly in the mid 60s. With the weakening gradient, a sea breeze is likely to develop into the afternoon, so the coastal areas will likely experience their daily maximum temperature in the morning. The lessening winds and slightly warmer temperatures will make for a generally more pleasant day than the prior two or three, but high dewpoint depressions will once again result in low relative humidity values around 20%. So the dry air will be fairly unpleasant. Uh, not to me. I'll moisturize.

Low of 32 with some frost.

Low of 35

I have been a bit bored with the usual NE style IPAs, but have generally not been a fan of the 'milkshake' variety either. Enter Cloud Cake DIPA from Lone Pine. A very pretty looking hazy IPA, great smell of tropical fruit and hops on the nose, lovely lacing, and a superior creamy mouthfeel. Definitely get a bit of sweetness from the lactose on the finish, but not overdone at all. Enjoyable and fun beer. Lone pine is one of those breweries that seems to always get it.

I'm in.

I kinda like Ninas lately. <3

Interesting drive home from Easton, where it was mostly sunny all day with temps in the low 70s. Here at home it's cool and overcast, with a temp of 60.

Temp made it up to 72 in the early afternoon, then dropped into the low 60s with a nice breeze.

High of 65 here. Filtered sun with that NE High pressing and keeping the flow more off the ocean. Yet another great day for getting stuff done outside. Tomorrow should be quite a bit warmer here.

lol you can post whatever you want. What makes you think I 'don't like it', just because I disagree that April has been mostly cold and miserable, or should be in the 70s all the time. It is fine to want that if that's what floats your boat, but like I said, that is more typical of May and unrealistic to expect for much of April, which tends to be changeable. The month will probably end up above average, like just about all months do anymore.

Approaching peak lawn here. It will look great through May, but beyond that will start heading downhill with trees fully leafed out, increased transpiration, and increasing sun angle. Letting it grow and mowing to a height of 4" helped quite a bit last summer. Only had to reseed like half of it lol.

I have quite enjoyed it. Many days that feel like Fall, and since our Fall weather seemingly comes later each year and bleeds into winter, I love not having a longwave pattern that switches instantly to the usual persistent warm/humid. This is what April should be. I am hoping this continues well into May, where ofc temps would be warmer, but stave off the inevitable perpetual MA heat.

He gets it. He just doesn't get why you focus on those days. We get sucky days in every month to be fair, and what defines a 'not nice' day is subjective.
