SACRUS

Curious if you run # 80 days M-A-M to compare with this.

64 / 61 here. Tue - Fri cloudy periods of showers and rain 1-2 inches of rain. Sat front brings next shot at storms/showers but not a washout. Sunday - Tuesday dry out and warm up could approach 80 in the warm spots. Longer range continues to have trough into the east with more unsettled weather. Outside chance to capture a 90 before the close of the month but chances were diminished with the latest forecasts output. Overall near normal / wetter 5/18 - 5/31

Id also look into TTN seeming to have a cooler bias of late (last 4-5 years or so)

Every 6 hour the updated intra hour between the hour maxes and minimums update. JFK missed yesterday afternoons It happened alot last year too. https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KJFK.html

Saturday may not be that bad or a washout, maybe some storms with the front at some point.

EWR most 90 degree days in May was 6 in 1991.

heaviest rains over the southeast next 5 days through Friday then front on Saturday could bring storms to the area.

Records: Highs: EWR: 92 (1959) NYC: 93 (1881) LGA: 88 (1991) JFK: 89 (1991) Lows: EWR: 40 (1938) NYC: 40 (1907) LGA: 43 (1940) JFK: 43 (2020) Historical: 1760: Ben Franklin was the first person to identify nor'easters. In a letter on this date, Franklin described an experience that happened to him in November 1743 when storm clouds in Philadelphia blocked his view of an eclipse. Franklin assumed that the storm had blown in from the northeast because the surface winds at his location were from that direction. He was puzzled to find out later that his brother had viewed the eclipse with no problems and that the storm had arrived in Boston four hours later. The information caused Franklin to correctly surmise that the storm had moved from southwest to northeast. 1834: Unusual snows occurred across the Northeast. 6 inches fell at Erie, PA and 12 inches at Rutland, VT from this date through the 15th. 1876: The first American newspaper weather map was published in the New York Herald.

66 / 37 clear / mostly sunny. Likely the nicest driest/sunniest of the next 6 days (thru Sat). Trough cuts off over the south east and slowly drifts north Tue - Fri with scattered showers, rain, clouds and cooler Tue - Wed, then warmer more humid Thu/Fri with rainfall 1 - 2 inches. Sat is iffy with front coming through and potential storms - not a washout. By Sunday back to 80. 5/19 - 5/25 looks near normal with trough into the east. Still think we may squeeze a brief hot day or two in the final 1/3 of the month but overall near normal close as is forecast now.

73 / 40 another beaut! today. Approaching or low 80s in the warm spots. Tomorrow a touch cooler with the clouds pushing in but still mid / upper 70s. Tue - Fri - cut off and unsettled with 1 - 2 inches in the forecast through May 16th. Beyond there timing looks to clear out by the weekend 17/18. Beyond mid month near normal - no sustained significant warmup or cool. Still think the progression get us much warmer to hot for a period in the final 10 days, other wise riding near normal overall.

See if the warm spots can get 80 tomorrow and Monday - otherwise looks gorgeous mid / upper 70s tomorrow - touch warmer than today.
