Spring 2018 Is The Worst

What a fail TWC's May outlook ended up being. Called for below average temperatures for all of the Midwest... ends up being one of the warmest Mays on record. TWC is such garbage, I'm seriously starting to think they are worse than accuweather.

Living near a big lake during Spring is literally the worst.

NAM/GFS 12z runs look nice along the warm front on Saturday, but the position and to a degree, the orientation of this boundary is still up in the air.

each new model run keeps shoving the boundary farther south thanks to relentless blocking to the north.

Amazing how it went from miserable crappy weather from March and April to currently indys warmest may on record. First 2 weeks all above normal highs and lows

Again, climate change. The extremes are only going to get more extreme.

Just once I'd like a year where seasons act like seasons and bring the potpourri of weather we normally associate with them. Instead when we finally get into an active snow pattern in BLOODY APRIL, events' ceilings are being tempered by climo rather than enhanced.* Same goes for wasting May with the jet stream way the hell up in Canada.

*Out-of-climo events are cool and all, but only if they are extreme enough that they would be considered unusual/impactful even during peak climo for that type of weather. Big Midwest tornado outbreak in November, for example (remember 2013?).

You can thank climate change for that. It’s starting to have serious impacts on our weather now, potentially irreversible impacts later in the future. Pretty scary stuff tbh.

Can’t wait for this awesome weekend... 

From a meteorological standpoint it doesn't make sense that the cold gets pushed so far south. Why is this happening? Why does the warm front just hit a brick wall like that? It has nothing to do with the lakes, something else is at play here.

I'm really thinking we're gonna have the coldest summer on record too by a long shot. Might be hard-pressed to even hit 80 in July.
