The temp here just dropped another 1.5 degrees and I am now at my low for today at 46.9 degrees. It appears that all around me in all directions have had more rain than here. South, West, East, and North...haha. I recorded 0.69" yesterday with an additional 0.21" today for an event total thus far of 0.90". I'm back in my sweats and long shirt with the heat running at 73 degrees. Feels great! Meanwhile, it does not feel great outside with a wind chill of 44 degrees and light rain at the moment.

Yep. Just as I predicted 3 hours ago I thought there was a decent chance MDT would be down to 52 before the end of their observational day. Well, at 10:56pm their temp was 52 degrees. If it drops to 51 then the only question will be does it exceed 51 during the daytime tomorrow or not. I think the odds are 50/50 for a 51 degree max for tomorrow or at worst, 52 degrees. I'm now down to 50.2 degrees with an northeasterly wind of 5-10mph, occasional gusts to 15. Once my temp reaches 49.9 degrees my weather station will start displaying the wind chill temp...lol! With a low here of 47 and a sustained wind of 10mph the wind chill would be in the low 40's. With the rain falling those conditions are simply horrible for being outdoors. I expect to turn my heat on tomorrow morning as I expect my inside temp to drop to around 70. That's too cold for me. I like 72 or 73. Oh, and by the way, I have absolutely no problem with putting back on my sweats to wear tomorrow and again on Sunday. One other interesting note is I see Ambient's local forecast has me with a high of 53.0 tomorrow and then drops it further for Sunday down to 50.4. Hard to imagine Sunday being colder than Saturday. We'll see.

With this latest batch of heavier rain moving through, temps have dropped 5 degrees from the upper 50's to the low 50's (53.4). And with the 8 o'clock obs from MDT showing a temperature of 55 degrees I think it's now virtually a lock that they will break their record low maximum for tomorrow of 57 degrees. The airport isn't expecting anything above 53 for tomorrow max. Now we just have to wait until midnight/1:00am for the new day to begin and see what the temp is at that time. I'm thinking they have a shot at 53 or even 52 degrees for the record low max tomorrow. That really is amazing for May 29th. The normal high temp for tomorrow is 77 and the normal low is 57. We're looking at a 25-degree departure on the high temps for tomorrow. The date with the normal high temp being 52 degrees is around March 15th!!! So that really does mean that we are looking at late winter daytime temps throughout our area for the first part of Memorial Day weekend. Wow! >>Edit...I forgot to mention that I'm up to 0.65" of rain for the event so far.

Absolutely amazing what the GFS (6z) is showing for later next week into the weekend. Specifically, a cold front drops down from the north later Thursday sending temps from the 60's into the 50's and then into the 40's. Then MDT stays in the 40's from 9:00pm Thursday evening until about noon on Saturday. With it raining a fair amount throughout Friday it keeps temps in the 40's with New England in the 30's! If this happened the way it is depicted it would be totally unprecedented for late season cold. Stunning! Here's 2:00pm Friday afternoon...this is as warm as it gets all day Friday...

1.5 degrees away from 90 with 88.5 at the moment. Yesterday we almost had a 40-degree diurnal with a low of 49 and a high of 88. Low this morning was 56 so it keeps creeping up slowly. Current dew point is 53 which keeps it bearable (outdoors) with temps close to 90. I'd prefer about 10 degrees lower on both the dew point and the temp!

Just a trace of rain here today. It sprinkled for hours but it amounted to nothing. Today marks the end of my heating season...lol! Yes, I have had a few days where I had to turn the a/c on. However, the fairly significant below-normal temps the past 2 weeks have kept the need for a little heat after waking up in the morning to take away some of the chill. I don't think I've ever gone this deep into Spring while still running the heat. And, for those of you wondering what temp I set the heat to, it is mainly 72 degrees except for the first 3 hours of my day between 7:30 - 10:30am and between 10:30 and 11:30pm, I raise the temp to 73.

At the height of the torrent this morning it was raining here at a rate of 6 inches/hr! Picked up 0.5" in 30 minutes. It is finally letting up and the skies are brightening. It was really dark as the heavy rain came in. Since midnight I've recorded another 0.75" giving me a 3-day total of 1.69". Temp dropped from 66 to 60 currently.

It came down good back around 7:00. Recorded 0.91" for the event (so far). No lightning from this storm and also no wind. Had calm winds the entire time it was raining.

I'm at my high of the day and the highest temp so far this year at 86.5. Saving grace is low dew points near 50 degrees. Winds here are around 10mph gusting to 20.

I'll send you a pm. The short answer is not easily, but there is a way if you want to take the time involved.

I wonder if they might hit 70 before this is over?

You picked a fantastic station. I have the 2902 from Ambient which is the same boom assembly, but with a display not nearly as nice as the led version yours has. The unit is exceptionally reliable and accurate. A really great feature of both our units is the ability to calibrate nearly all the parameters if you discover that something seems off. As far as my temp/humidity those readings have been well within their tolerance of plus or minus 1 degree Celsius. You'll definitely want to connect the station to Weather Underground (if you aren't already on their network). Our Ambient units directly send their live data to WU using their rapid-fire data stream of updates every 2.5 seconds. So as it updates on your local display it simultaneously updates on the WU station map. Feel free to reach out to me with any other questions you might have. I know a lot about Ambient products as I think I own 6 different temperature/humidity units along with the full 8 remote sensors that they are all capable of displaying. I have a sensor in nearly every room in my home along with one outdoors that is not part of my 2902. I have that sensor in a separate Gill shield right beside the 2902. You can also calibrate all of those other displays that I have as well. Just remember, the barometric pressure that first comes up on your display will be your raw (absolute) station pressure. You definitely want to go into the unit settings and set your local sea-level (relative) pressue for your home. If you live at 500 feet above sea level then your absolute pressure will read approximately 0.50" lower than your sea-level pressure. The unit keeps track of both absolute and relative separately. Be careful not to adjust the absolute pressure...just the relative pressure. Hope this helps get you started.

Wow. Now I think I'm getting a wee-bit nervous over these winds. I have a bunch of 70-90 foot trees with relatively small trunks lining my back yard. With the most recent set of winds sustained at 35 and gusting to 45 twigs and some small branches have already come down as well as a fair number of leaves. If any one of those trees came down towards the back of my home it would be very damaging. Plus my wife works from home on the second floor right next to some rear windows and I sit in the family room directly underneath her, also right at the rear edge of the home. It's pretty scary just watching the huge sway with each gust. And to think it may get worse over the next few hours and become even more sustained. I've had a ton of 40mph gusts now. They were occurring almost every few minutes. Yup, there goes another gust to 45. Haven't hit 50 yet. I had a few in the low 50's with some events earlier this year but nothing that was sustained like this. One other thing...the temperature has been dropping from an hour ago. Now back down to 59 whereas it was 64 an hour ago.

We can hope.

FYI -- 12Z GFS peak of the winds is mainly in the LSV

They should have started the warning sooner. I began having gusts into the 40's back at 2:00am. So far peak gust has hit 48mph 3 different times. Had my highest 1-minute average back at 8:10am at 34.7mph! That's sadly impressive.

No soaking here. Just 0.12" for the event. Getting ready for the HWW. At least 50% of all foliage here is not fully out yet. Yesterday's 86 degrees did speed up the process some.

Thanks for sharing. We'll have plenty of time to observe the scenery because we are taking a train trip that lasts for 7 hours between Fairbanks and Anchorage. I love train rides and I love being able to sit while I'm enjoying the passing scenery...lol.

Ahhhh yes, the summer solstice. My favorite day of the year. While some of you were talking about your upcoming trips to Florida, I am looking forward to a vacation in Alaska at the end of June! My wife's nephew is an F-35 pilot/trainer and was deployed to Fairbanks last summer. We are going up to see he and his wife as well as visiting Denali National Forest and also going to Anchorage to take a whale-hunting boat trip among other fun activities. I really wanted to be able to go up to the arctic circle which is about 5 hours north of Fairbanks so I could witness perpetual daylight. But we couldn't swing that on this upcoming trip. I'll have to settle for 21 1/2 hours of daylight in Fairbanks instead. It will only be a week after the solstice so I'll get almost the closest experience of extended daylight. The sun sets at around 12:45am and then rises just 2 1/2 hours later at 3:15am. Maybe on my next trip up I'll go near the winter solstice to experience near-perpetual darkness along with a good chance of seeing the northern lights which are very prominent up there during the winter months.

haha...same here. Peak of 86.0 now down to 85.5. Only 1.5 degrees away from "upper" 80's. Edit>> NWS grid forecast high for me is 86. Glad to see the more pleasant 60's will be making a comeback by Friday and the weekend. Heating season in my house has not yet ended. I have no problem with running either AC or heat and switching between them. It seems like some of you talk like once the switch to A/C occurs, you cannot go back to heat or it would be blasphemy! Whatever it takes to keep me comfy in my home is what I like. It's the #1 thing for me where I'll spend any amount of money to keep myself feeling comfortable. At 67 I'd have the heat on for sure. I'm cold below 72. I guess I've been hanging out at my in-laws a little too much as I have actually gotten used to their heat setting of 78 !! My mother-in-law is 89. I guess this is what happens to you when you reach that age.

The winds have suddenly picked up considerably within the last 10 minutes with a stiff West wind at 10-15 with gusts to 20. First time this season that higher winds don't make it feel uncomfortable out.

At 2:40pm I'm at my high of the day at 86.0 degrees. It doesn't feel all that bad out with a nice breeze and dew points around 60. Sun keeps peeking out from the mostly cloudy skies. I could easily see 88 by later this afternoon with just partial sunshine.

It seems weird because I was thinking that you and @Cashtown_Coop and @Itstrainingtime were getting jackpots. Most likely all of us has been a bullseye for snow showers / squalls at some point. After nearly an hour of continuous snow falling...and almost 30 minutes of it falling heavily...it's winding down. I just have larger flakes but they're falling in slow motion. Mulch whiteness is rapidly disappearing. I took a bunch of pics. Maybe I'll try to put something up on here a little later. One great shot of my pink dogwood in full bloom with all the blossoms covered in snow. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Temp still holding, at 33.4 degrees, but I see patches of blue sky breaking through to my northwest.

Officially have now recorded 0.1" !! Lot of snow grains actually and not flakes. Looks like fertilizer. Temp now down to freezing... 32.2 degrees!! It was really heavy about 10 minutes ago.

Squall has definitely arrived. Almost heavy at the moment. Temp dropping down to 36 and falling.
