Hit 90 before the first round of storms came. Received 1.11" of rain so far today. May very well break the daily maximum rainfall record of 1.62" set in 1942.

Hit 90 for the first time this year.

If the Euro holds, we'll be writing off this Month and even July.

Topped out at 88, highest it'll get for this month.

Even TWC is hinting almost no dry days the rest of the month heading into June. This was the 11th day with measurable precipitation for Cincinnati, the 12th day with measurable precipitation for Dayton, and the 13th day with measurable precipitation for Columbus. Cincinnati's record for the most number of days with measurable precipitation in May is 22 days in May 1892. Dayton's record for the most number of days with measurable precipitation in May is 21 days in May 2003. Columbus' record for the most number of days with measurable precipitation in May is 22 days in May 2004, which is also the all-time record for the most number of days with measurable precipitation in a calendar month. The all-time record for the most number of days with measurable precipitation in a calendar month for both Cincinnati and Dayton is 23 days in July 1992.

Tweet from yesterday:

Even in the long range, looks like the second half of this May is going to be a washout.

If not July. Just one of those years.

GFS, as well. Both 00z runs linger it through near the end of next week.

The warmup that is supposed to start tomorrow looks to be short-lived. Get ready to write off next week. Right after the weekend is over, models are hinting an Omega Block setting up with a cutoff low over the region lingering through near the end of next week. The latest GFS run is showing highs in the lower 60s for Monday through Tuesday followed by highs in the 50s Wednesday, and back to the 60s on Thursday through Friday of next week. For example, next Wednesday on the latest 00z GFS: Meanwhile, the latest Euro run shows highs in the lower 60s Monday, 50s on Tuesday through Wednesday, and back to the 60s on Thursday through Friday of next week before warming back up next Saturday. For example, next Wednesday on the latest 00z Euro

FMA came in with 0.5C. JFM is now 0.6C. 2019-2020 is officially another El Nino season.

First 80-degree day of the year today as temps overperformed to reach 83. Likely the warmest we'll get for this month unless things approve during the second half of this month as what Crankyweatherguy has been suggesting.
