SACRUS

Sunny for most in the next 90 minutes

Euro still not updating on EWALL but all 3 are in fairly good alignment with trough stingy into the or off the NE through Memorial Day weekend but we could salvage part of Saturday - Sun - Monday with dry weather but near or below normal.

Next week the rain between wed evening and Friday evening

Only if any, light showers as the front passes through as the DElMARVA gets the heaviest and strongest storms.. Should clear out by noon -1:00PM.

69 / 64 Partly cloudy - going cloudy then should clear later. Front/clouds too soon to push any shot at 90 in the warmer spots - cloud in the way. Still the warmest day of the next 14. Dry and near normal - nice stretch 5/18 - Tue 5/20. By Wed 5/21 clouds and trough cutting off. Raw cool / wet Thu 5/22 - Fri 5/23 1.25 - 2.00 inches of rain. Perhaps we can salvage part of Sat 5/24 and then Sun 5/25 - Mon Memorial Day 5/26. Beyond there the month closes out with trough stingy into the east overall near normal. Still - the building heat into the rockies expands east and will see next month open much warmer and the first chance at some heat evolve.

Made it to 78 after the storms now cloudy again.

Looks mostly cloudy today and we'll see the timing of the front tomrorow and any lingering clouds. Sun should return Sunday - Tuesday

Clouds look to come back as soon as Wed next week with a raw Thu/Fri

65 / 64 low level clouds and fog. Some pokes of sun and low 70s could trigger some storms this pm and evening. Saturday the warmest of the next 10, and with enough sun and break between the front 90 degree could be approached in the warmer spots otherwise low - mid 80sn stoems by the late afternoon/evening - pending timing of the front. Sunday - Tuesday nicest - dry stretch with near normal. By Wed clouds and showers are back in the picture and with a stiff E/ENE flow Thursday looks quite ugly and cool. Brunt of the rain between Wed - Fri then could be right on Memorial Day. Trough stingy in the east right through the end of the month. Heat building in the rockies looks to start eastward push early next month.

Up to 71 with the breaks of sun and just north of the storms that blew up in OCean contty

Too bad we couldnt get 6-12 more hours of dry ahead of the front Saturday as some of the warmer spots could have approached 90, still it could be mid/upper 80s ahead of the front pending on clearing.

Heaviest rainfall shifts to the center of the nation the next 7 days The majority of the forecasted rain for us is with the lingering showers Thu/FRi and Saturdays storms potential

62 / 61 cloudy some scattered light showers. Mainly light rain the next 36 hours and staying mostly cloudy, areas of fog, could be some breaks later or Friday afternoon. Saturday, pending on sun could push mid 80s or better in the warm spots ahead of the front which will bring the next round of showers/storms layer saturday, otherwise saturday looks to be the warmest day of the remainder of the month. Dry out Sunday - Wed with a nice stretch. heavy rains next week into the nations center as trough cuts off - GFS has ULL moving through Fri-Sat and clearing Sun/Mon(Memorial day), while the Euro has a linger cut off and trough through Mon and into the week of the 26th. Overall near normal close of the second half and outside of Saturday the 17th mainly below any heat / 80s criteria. Timing of the Upper level next week into the Memorial Day holiday weekend to be worked out. Beyond there building heat into the Rockies and west ejecting east to open next month - see if we can time a quick arrival here between the next trough - way out there.

1.51 in th bucket now slowing down

Up to 0.90 here and counting.

more scattered rain towards early afternoon

The period May 23 - 28 should shave those positive departures a bit.

Euro still not updating in the PSU Ewall site It is more similar to the Canadian in the Day 7-10 (May 21 - May 24)
