Today's theme seems to be to initially keeping alot of the rain to the N and W

Part of the problem with these forecasts is it will say 70% chance of showers Saturday and Sunday but end up raining for a total of 4 or 6 hours. I see lots of cancellations of weekend events already
yeah-most models don't have much at all for Saturday now....

Working at the 5 boro bike tour I hope that's true for Sunday. Or at least limited to an occasional light shower.
Ugh-that's miserable in the rain-we did it a few years back a few times-one year had off and on shower and cold.

Weekend looks fine for most of SNE
yeah it seems like Mon-Wed is the real wet period but who knows with a cutoff low where it actually ends up.

The GFS has joined the wet models for next week

April precipitation here was 4.76". While a nice total most of that fell in the first 12 days. Only an additional .74" fell from the 13th. through the 30th. April also delivered 1.5" snow for a 2024-25 total of 30.9".
Rainfall amounts over the next week will depend greatly on final track / placement of upper low. Slight positioning and speed differences will have big impact on who gets what. Thinking a compromise of wet EURO / CMC vs. dry GFS is way to go at the moment as @bluewave said.
Pattern has potential to deliver or disappoint. With the wind, low humidity and lack or rainfall over the last 2 weeks or so we could use a 1"+ soaking.
I'd be happy with another inch or so

Euro/CMC wet early next week with 3-5 inches of rain-GFS meanwhile is nothing like that with a progressive pattern

dropped down to 70 here with the south winds off the water after a high of 74

Long range Euro but drought's over

The Euro updated seasonal forecast for the summer will be out on May 5th. It actually has been one of the better periods for seasonal forecast skill of summer temperatures and 500 mb patterns.
My guess is that this dry pattern will generally continue into the summer as it has been very persistent especially in Eastern PA into NJ. The last time we had a dry pattern heading into the summer was 2022. This is when NJ reached 100° over 5 times but the areas further east had more onshore flow and less 100° heat than NJ.
So our first hints on summer wind direction will probably come with the Euro update on May 5th.
2022 was bone dry especially in July/August. Got wet in September-kind of the opposite of last year where we dried out in the fall.

Only .12 here so far, and radar doesn't look promising. Slight chance we get hit by a downpour this afternoon. If not we're going to end up with less than a quarter inch, which would be pretty disappointing.
models keep most of it north of NYC rest of day/eve

yep and it can't really snow that time of year anyway
When I was a teenager and younger during the 80s I used to shiver in early October because my parents refused to turn on the heat before October 15th, I really hated that lol.
Before that when we lived in an apartment the landlord would not turn on the heat before November 1-- even worse lol.
I hate temperatures colder than the 70s without any heat.
Nov 1st is pushing it-usually you need heat in the AM to take the chill off the house

what did you think of October-first half of November
temps in the 70s and sunny are nice, save on heating lol
I'll take it-winter is still long enough even with the warming....

March was +4 and so far April is +1 so I'm not surprised things greened up in a hurry.
The sad thing is people I know were acting like it was so cold this spring and winter lol they have lost all sense of perspective. It's been above normal for so long that they've gotten used to North Carolina averages.
That's the thing-it was cold, cold in relation to how warm it's been for a decade. but yes it's a completely different climate than 25 yrs ago. Wetter/warmer overall

No idea but it's crazy how early everything is this year. My lawn last year was just barely out of dormancy. Im up to 3 mows already this year and i haven't even fertilized yet. All my perenial flower plants are exploding in growth. Roses are doubled in size since February. At my job in Mahwah, it's not as in bloom but it's close.
We are a good 7-10 days ahead here-saw a photo from 2015 on my facebook memory today-the trees were still bare

So, my wife has a booth at a craft fair in Parsippany tomorrow and I keep trying to tell her it's going to rain, maybe not an all out washout but it's not just a few passing showers that might miss. What say ye, waste of time wet or is her optimism justified?
the NAMS show it ending earlier than some models but I would say the period from 8am to 2pm is a washout
