I can’t wait to see the next drought monitor map…

It has to have changed. I'm sitting at 9.69" for the month so far. Next weeks forecast that I showed above is just depressing. I just watched WNEP's Joe Snedeker, as the wife has it on in the morning when she's getting ready for work, and he showed the map with the trough and ULL feature....again. 

When will it end? Will it EVER end?????

Seriously???

Next week... 

Picked up 0.04" so far on my way to another, perhaps, two inch event which would easily take me over 10 inches of rain for the month.

Not sure this is the place to go to complain about eventful weather.

Yeah it is when it's excessive and out of season. This is the time of year for afternoon thunderstorms, not cold, raw, upper level lows and nor'easters.

There is nothing nice about a soaking two day rain after 6-9" has already fallen through mid month

There is nothing nice about any of this anymore. I deal with depression and anxiety, and all the gloomy weather we've been having doesn't help at all. Even on nice days I sometimes struggle, so you can imagine what a cold, dark, and wet day does to me.

JB thinks around June 10th or so the rubberband could possibly snap. Then the heat will come along with those nighttime thunderstorms coming over the top of the ring of fire. So I guess we'll see what happens. Forecasts always change. Also JB is thinking early Tropical development in the Gulf in early June and possibly coming north along the east coast. I hope not.

After all this excess rain, the last thing we need is a tropical system riding the coast.

Seen some places could get close to 2-3in. of rain and those cool temps to boot. I guess you'll have to go into hibernation like a bear until this pattern breaks.

I saw an article about the polar vortex being "dislodged" and that it doesn't look to retreat back anytime soon. I know the talk was about Phoenix and the west having a hot and dry summer, so that correlates to us being cool and wet. Heard that the pattern might linger well into June.

Rain not withstanding, I just perused the models, and surface temps on Wednesday, per the Euro and the GFS, keep me in the upper 40's for a high temperature. Absurd...

Just about every summer forecast I have seen has the eastern US cold. 

 

Edit: Maybe it changed? Last I saw AccuWeather had Northeast cooler than average and better than average but I just pulled TWC, AccuWeather, and NOAA and all appear above-average (1-2 degrees) temp wise with above average precip.

I really hope my theory is wrong, and those cold outlooks are as well. I don't need 40+ 90 degree days, but I'd like it to predominantly be in the low to mid 80's.

Somehow I hit the jackpot this month.

It looks like a good bit of rain headed our way... again.

Crazy. We went from too little to too much. 

I know most of you will enjoy it, but I wonder if what we're seeing will be the general theme of the entire summer. 

In my highly uneducated theory, the pattern that developes in May seems to carry through most of the summer season.

Just as you guys like your winters to be winters, with cold and snow, I like my summers to be actual summers, with generally warm to hot days, broken up by occasional late day thunderstorms.

Hopefully we get an answer. That is a pretty cool graphic.

My Wednesday to Friday forecast doesn't get me above 60 for any of the three days along with the rain...

.30 fron the thunderstorm in about 15 min.

Got 0.61" out of it.

The line collapsed "a bit" before it got here, but we still got a good hit. Half inch in 15 minutes with some lightning/thunder and bit of a breeze. 

Points south and east likely got it better.

That line looks quite healthy, but it appears, per future radar, that it stays primarily north of I-80.

I stand corrected. Everything exploded, and unless something changes drastically, I'm going to get slammed in about 15 minutes.

62 degrees and the radar is not looking great this morning. 
More rain incoming it appears.

Couple deer this morning but they seemed to be passing thru.

Here comes the polar vortex for Memorial Day weekend you couldn't make this up

I hope not. I didn't look at the models, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Two nice days next week and then right back in it again...
