Nova Scotia has been taking the brunt of every nor-Easter since February it seems.
Eastern sections of the subforum missed a BIG second half of winter by ~150 miles.
That’s a good one.
Light Rain in the morning at the coast, storm grazes us. Strong surface cold front through in the afternoon. Temp peaks in low 40’s at PSM. Completely different than today with HP overhead. But anyway yea taking what I said verbatim above—you’re right. Touché.
To put it differently: shift this coastal low headed for NS 200 miles west and May 8 2021 would be putting May 9th 2020 firmly into the past.
About as cool as you can get May 7 with full sun. Thermo read 60 but persistent light wind and very low dews made it feel like mid 50’s at best, even in the sun.
We locked into the best winter storm pattern of our cold season starting in mid April. Again.
Tough for snow lovers and warm weather lovers. Mother Nature around here figured out how to disappoint the vast majority.
May? We’re stuck in early April.
May 1st comes in like April 1st.
At least the sun will let us put March behind us now...
That said, I’ll happily take dewless 60’s most days of the year...Great day for a hike, outside of the far interior.
Same here obviously.
And this is why day time temps alone don’t tell the tale. Many cold nights, low dews. CP air masses ruled the month—no subtropical air in our region. The entire month has had climo more like April 1–and the vegetation is saying the same.
Nice warm sector.
Tanning in overcast with dew in the 40’s.
Weenie rage.
How is my weather ? Very similar to what’s in your back yard as it should be. 60’s and mostly cloudy—the sensible weather is quite similar for the two of us, being we’re both outside of the warm sector.
Kevin in Troll-land:
Sunday: “Days and days of high dews and heat incoming folks.”
Monday: “85F on Wednesday”
Tuesday: “80F on Wednesday”
Wednesday: “Warm sector today”
Getting there buddy...
...And the rest of the week Kevin?
Tomorrow looks like a classic case—Danbury CT down to NYC tickle 80. New Haven sniffs the warm front for a few hrs maybe before the backdoor slams through again. And the rest of CT is on the wrong side of the door all day. It’s near 80 or near 60. Either way, Kevin will be yelling “dews” and stein” while he and Hartford are stuck on the wrong side all day.
Sure. But don’t get it twisted. Population distribution matters more than geographical area. That’s here; that’s everywhere. Many more people live in the region getting rain today. Boston is getting a good drink too.
It is mid spring. The jet is over our head just about every day through 384 hrs on the GFS. MJO phase 1. -NAO with an active pacific means most disturbances will traverse our region.
It’s going to rain. A lot.
The pacific is killing the remaining few opportunities at record cold/snowfall. But it looks more like we’re trading New England in March for Ireland in May. It’s progress. But far from the pattern we hope for this time of year...Great for growing though...
Depends on where you are, specifically.
ASH, MHT did hit 60 yesterday. Even DAW managed 58. Not a bad day at all. Today and tomorrow look great actually...
So far, my neck of the woods is likely running slightly AN for the month of April.
