Seems to be even more difficult today, despite all the technology.

Looks that way

I stand corrected, already...

Upton went 90% pops this afternoon. We'll see. Added a slight chance of a shower tomorrow as well

Interesting, but I wonder for where.  Looks like NYC and points south may miss most of the shower activity?

Speaking of flamingos, one has reached Cape Cod.

I guess it won't be pink for very long?  I think their color is based on their diet?

Wouldn't take much to get 95+

If the pattern flips in late June we'll see 100s. 

I don't necessarily disagree, but that would assume the entire nothern hemisphere is boiling?  Right now, it appears some unusually warm air is trapped in the northwest atlantic, keeping us from being below normal in the present pattern?  In winter, I can see how the southern Pacific jet iinjects warmer air into the continent, but I wouldn't think it would as pronounced in the summer months?

I don't quite get it.  Where is the warmth coming from in eastern Canada?

can we get some of the fun parts of climate change? look at what just happened in texas. instead we just get 50s all winter

Coastal flooding will be our "treat", but I'll be long gone beneath the ground by then...

I doubt the 2nd rd is stronger than the first batch. We didn’t have much sun today 

 

Flash flooding will be the bigger risk 

Looks like you are correct...

Wow the waters are sizzling 

Does this mean that the Labrador current is actually still intact?

get your blood sugar and blood pressure checked

It's not that hot yet.  Heat really wipes me out, but okay so far.  It's been a dry heat, so far, so not so bad.  Old people are supposed to like the heat, but not me.  I melt.

A town in NJ has just gotten USDA permission to mass gas Canada geese during molting season when they can't fly   what a travesty.... good thing is that the mayor has responded to mass criticism of this plan and said he will pursue nonlethal methods first.  Including oral contraceptives which is what's been used on pigeons here.

Pity the moron midget mayor billionaire Bloomberg didn't try other methods before he mass gassed the geese in our parks years ago.

 

I am NOT putting condoms on Geese.  

0.01" of rain in Linden NJ for May 16th.  Somehow I think the forecast was a tad off?  Then again, the NWS has been changing their forecasts so often lately, that they might have had it right on one of the revisions...

Putting together a story for tonight on if we get rain this weekend it will be the 12th consecutive one - going back to March 2nd. Absolutely miserable out there. 

Whoever enjoys this, I have to agree with Liberty Bell on this topic, is not normal. 

I would prefer this over being too warm, or unseasonably hot.

It's funny to see people complain about a lack of heat in May when we're basically guaranteed 10 weeks of disgusting tropical weather every summer. Meanwhile those of us who enjoy the cold have to pray for a 3-day arctic blast or two to break up the 4 months of eternal November every winter.

Considering the temperature has been almost average...

One of the 10 BEST days.  I didn't waste my time trying to see the aurora last night.  Between possible cloud cover and living in what used to be suburban NJ, there wasn't much of a chance...

I guess the exact severity is impossible to forecast?   I saw a media hyped headline, predicting (potential) internet blackouts.

I guess a lot of it was drying up before it hit the ground.

It was between TWC and AM Weather on PBS/Ch21 here.  Before I had cable, I used to watch AM Weather during the 90s.

Am Weather sounds familiar, but can't remember a thing about it?  Comcast in Union County NJ removed the full time weather/radar about 10 years ago.  Maybe with everyone owning a smart phone, it was no longer really necessary?

Plus it's really hard to do anything with so much sogginess everywhere.  It also promotes dangerous bugs who spread disease (like mosquitoes and ticks.)

I'm guessing you don't like to garden?

I would think fear of flooding basements is a higher priority to planting vegetables for some?

Frosty here 32-no frost warning though

Not sure, maybe becasue the growing season has not officially started?

where did this storm sneak in from? earlier forecasts had today as sunny

 

I suppose the official forecast was based solely on the models?

as long as it's sunny it won't really matter if it's cold for a few hours during the early morning hours... I am SO happy it's going to be sunny next week either way.

Low 60s is mighty nice...

My guess is that the backdoor prevented us from reaching 90° this week. The long range models had mid 80s for Wednesday into Friday  before the backdoor appeared in more recent forecasts. So they probably would have been at least 5°+ too cool like we have seen on the original long range forecast for yesterday. 

Of course the long range models also predicted feet of snow for NYC several times this past winter?
