    Not a popular move. I feel the same way...see above.

    I'd rather they all hung around. I personally don't think the RRFS is quite ready to solo in prime time. At least we knew the inherent short comings in the existing soon to leave us models and could use them as tools. NAM always seemed superior to other guidance (most of the time) in nailing CAD and speed of mid level warming in snow to mix/rain scenarios. Will miss that.

    Not looking forward to months of AC but that's the way it goes. Much rather have the windows open a bit at night and be under the blankets. That will be coming to an end soon enough.

    Sampling of the coldest NJ lows this morning. Likely not another morning with this kind of areawide chill until late September or October.

    .38" here last 24 hours. Some winners and losers across the area.

    Received .40" rainfall last 24 hours. Better than I was expecting. I'll take it. Click map to enlarge.

    Either way it will be nothing like it was modeled to be several days ago....as you said yesterday. Most of the area was modeled at .75 to 1.25" and now we will struggle to reach .25" in most places. Does not look overly wet over the coming 1-2 weeks. Dry periods outdoing the wet periods for better than 18 months now.

    Did pretty well here with .68" rainfall last evening into the overnight. Total for April: 3.68". Not bad but 60% of that total came this week. Month prior to this final week of the month was very dry.

    Chilly this morning. Overnight low of 36.

    1.52" here for the event. A nice slow and steady soaking for this sub forum. Click map to enlarge.

    Persistent light rain, some moderate at times since about 10 A.M. Temperature stuck at 38. Currently 36 up at High Point and 38 in Vernon per NJWXNET. When April opened based on late March and early April LR guidance I was expecting a +3 to +3.5 degree temperature departure for the month. Bust on my part. Cooler periods were very effective at beating back the warm periods. Unusual around here in recent years. Per @donsutherland1 April looks to average just about 1.5 above and that might slip a bit more before the end of the month.

    On the bright side...the grass seed I put down two weeks ago to fix parts of the lawn by the street that got really beaten up by the town mounding snow mixed with excess road salt has filled in great. I did have to keep it sprinkled daily but it was great weather for it to get a good start. Putting down some fertilizer later today to get soaked in by the rain. I would rather the rain and big chill didn't happen over the weekend but what can we do. A good weekend to all. Make the best of it.

    Overnight low of 25 here. Sampling of NJ overnight lows attached.

    I'm not no much worried about a frost or freeze once to like 5/10 up here but I have found if you wait a few more weeks beyond that the soils warm up and things just seem to do better. Of course that varies from year to year with the actual weather conditions as to how fast the soils warm. Have found with cool soils things just tend to "sit there" until it really warms up and with cool soils if we hit a wet stretch things have a higher chance of rotting out. The cooler weather crops are a different story but I don't plant much of those these days.
