SACRUS

Up to 72 with in between sun

Euro still not updating but is the strongest with the ridge - closer to the Canadian as we move into a much warmer progression. Prior years had the ridge axis and center a bit more north to cause onshore, we'll see if that is mitigated with a further south location. 6/3 - 6/5 below - 6/5 and beyond could deliver the first 'heat' of the seaosn.

Much of this is focused on Wed and Fri evening, but suspect Saturday will be wetter and get the area closer to 1.5 - 2.00

Records: Highs: EWR: 97 (1965) NYC: 96 (1880) record early season heatwave continued on LGA: 92 (1965) JFK: 86 (1985) Lows: EWR: 43 (1967) NYC: 41 (1961) LGA: 41 (1961) JFK: 42 (1961) Historical: 1771: In Virginia, a wall of water came roaring down the James River Valley following ten to twelve days of intense rain. As water swept through Richmond, buildings, boats, animals, and vegetation were lost. About one hundred fifty people were killed as the River reached a flood stage of forty-five feet above normal. A monument to the flood was inscribed by Ryland Randolph, of Curles, in 1771-72: " ... all the great rivers of this country were swept by inundations never before experienced which changed the face of nature and left traces of violence that will remain for ages." 1826: A tremendous hail storm struck the eastern shore of Maryland during the evening damaging wheat and vegetable crops from Hillsborough in Caroline County to Easton in Talbot County. One person was killed. Between the Severn and Patapsco Rivers, hail the size of eggs fell. Across the bay in Calvert County, a man was killed by hail. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1896 - A massive tornado struck Saint Louis, MO, killing 306 persons and causing thirteen million dollars damage. The tornado path was short, but cut across a densely populated area. It touched down six miles west of Eads Bridge in Saint Louis and widened to a mile as it crossed into East Saint Louis. The tornado was the most destructive of record in the U.S. up until that time. It pierced a five-eighths inch thick iron sheet with a two by four inch pine plank. A brilliant display of lightning accompanied the storm. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1973: A large F4 tornado cut a 135-mile path across central Alabama. Hardest hit was the town of Brent where five people perished and 90% of the town was demolished. Seven people died along the path of the twister. Cancelled checks from Greensboro, AL were found at Gadsden, AL, over 100 miles away. Another killer tornado struck Centerpoint on the northeast side of Birmingham, killing one person. One person was killed and 35 people were injured when an F3 tornado stormed across Jones County, Mississippi. Another 3 people were injured when an F2 tornado swept across Clarke County. A second F2 tornado also moved across Scott County that evening. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1987 - Severe thunderstorms in West Texas produced baseball size hail at Crane, hail up to three and a half inches in diameter at Post, and grapefruit size hail south of Midland. Five days of flooding commenced in Oklahoma. Thunderstorms produced 7 to 9 inches of rain in central Oklahoma. Oklahoma City reported 4.33 inches of rain in six hours.

Although tornado warnings were issued 30 minutes in advance and local sirens were sounded, there were few places to go for safety. Most homes were on slabs, with no basements. Houses were swept clean off their foundations, with little debris left behind. Total damage was $20 million. The same thunderstorm complex produced a wind gust to 122 mph at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio. 2001: This day brought one of the most destructive and widespread windstorms to much of Oklahoma and north Texas in recent memory. These storms left one person dead, 4 injured, 160,000 people without power and over $350 million dollars in damage in Oklahoma alone. Several non-tornadic wind reports in excess of 100 mph were recorded, and it took nearly a week to restore power to all of the affected areas

Park was 2-4 cooler the prior 3 days and the coolest in the region 2 of those days. Another 1 -2 inches of rain should add to the overgrowth and mute any 90 degree readings there till mid June while some other site get there 6/5 - 6/15.

62 / 54, another hour or so before clouds return and for the most part dont depart till Sunday. Another 100 - 120 hours of mostly cloudy conditions. What would amount to 10 of 12 days mostly cloudy going back to 5/20 what a stretch for the fans of clouds . Light rain Wed / Thu 0.25 - 0.50 in southern sections. Perhaps a reprieve from the rain Friday but still looks mainly cloudy before trough movesinto the northeast with storms and some heavier rains Fri overnight into Saturday (1.00 - 2.00). Sunday dries out and trough slowly moves out by the 4th. 6/5 and beyond Much warmer as heights rise with first chance at heat in the warmer spots (Park may be a while to dry out).

We'll have a brief reprieve before the next system moves in later tomorrow with another 72 hours of clouds and showers later Tue - Thursday. Any breaks in the clouds tomorrow will push temps approaching 80 in the warm spots but unlikely as clouds may arrive by mid morning. 0.25 - 0.50 Tue - Thu with most falling Wednesday afternoon / night. Friday clear our and warm up upper 70s / low 80s. Trough send next front through this coming Saturday which could see light rain/showers perhaps a storm. Trough slowly fills out and a much warmer - hot look 6/5 - beyond. Euro the warmer but GFS also showing a much overall warmer (above normal) in the period and beyond). Time will tell. For here this memorial day weekend was one of the coolest cloudiest - saved by brief stretches of sun breaking out Sat and Sun today from a complete cloud out.

Would watch 6/5 period for first 90 - the park maybe delayed with the wetness there and growth.
