That was a decent storm here in Piscataway. We got .60 of rain in a very short period of time. Some thunder and 30 to 35mph wind gusts.

New run of the NAM isn't even a half inch of rain for friday night into saturday for the NYC area. Yeah the big rain threat is really falling apart.

Just had a brief light shower here yesterday. The ground is super dry, so I hope saturday delivers. We really need a good soaking.

As Bluewave mentioned, the signals are indicating that it will get hot again in mid May. I'll be surprised if we don't see more 90s during the week of May 14th. We need to enjoy the perfect low 70s weather next week, before it gets hot again.

Yeah today looks like the last cool day until the Fall. After the heat this week, the cooldown will only take us down to near 70 for highs which is beautiful Spring weather. Very glad that today is the end of the chilly weather.

Hard to believe May is going to be below normal, considering the way it's going to start out. Tomorrow and Monday looks like our last chilly weather of the season. Then 70s on tuesday and three days in a row with temps in the 80s. The cooldown next weekend into early the following week isn't looking impressive at all. It looks like highs in the upper 60s to low 70s which is close to normal. The first third of May is going to be an above normal period for sure.

Only .35" here. Not the big rainstorm that was advertised, but at least it was enough to give everything a decent watering.

GFS also showing a warmer pattern starting around May 1st or 2nd. Not a blowtorch, but we should finally see some high temps in the 70s in early May.

Temps really overperforming today. Touched 87 briefly. Now down to 85.

86 degrees here right now, and it's gonna be close to 40 at this time tomorrow. Amazing.

No baseball for you? This great start by the Mets doesn't excite you? Why would you want to go right back to winter if you're a Mets fan? I don't get it. I love winter too, but it would be terrible to have it all year. There would be no growing season if it was winter all year long. There are great things about every season. Variety is important.

Maybe I didn't go too far afterall when I suggested 80 degrees back on thursday. I should have stayed with that idea, because now it's looking possible again.

Nice? Do you actually root for chilly raw weather for baseball? Anyway the pattern does not look very good after the late week warmup. Need to enjoy the few warm days.

Looks as if GFS is going to score a victory here? It has been consistently showing a major late week warmup. The last few days forecasts have been getting cooler for late week, showing highs only in the upper 50s as the Euro and other models went cooler. If the 70s are suddenly looking likely again, then perhaps GFS was right all along. I remember a few days ago the GFS was showing 70s for next saturday while the GGEM was showing snow, lol.

So it's really starting to look as if GFS has been wrong about the major warmth next weekend. Maybe temps 60 to 65 for friday and saturday? Some decent warmer weather but nothing unusual, and then probably back to 50s after that.
