Yup. Snedeker on WNEP showed a coastal low riding up on Saturday that would wash out most of the weekend. The NWS on the other hand shows some showers on Saturday and a decent Sunday.

I need 80 minimum air temp to get in the water.

If I had a pool and wanted to go swimming, I'd want it warmer, but for regular picnic purposes, this IS perfection. And what a chamber of commerce sky it is today with the puffy, fair weather clouds.

Second coldest Memorial Day morning I can remember. 40.3 degrees.

Make sure you "try them out" in the store before you buy one.

Absolutely! It's WAY overdue.

46 now, but sometime after midnight I dipped down to 41.

Just cracked the ten inch mark for the month of May. 10.03" to be exact as of 1:10pm on 5/22.

Yes, I saw that. I believe even Allentown has quite a bit less than I do. Personally, I consider anything east of the Susquehanna to be Eastern PA, but officially (and per my NWS region) I'm actually in Central PA, and by default, NEPA.

Huh??? I've had 9.74" this month so far.

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... Memorial Day A chance of showers after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 67. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Monday Night A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 50. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Tuesday A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 64. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Tuesday Night A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 51. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Wednesday A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 65. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

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.

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 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.

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

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...

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. 8.89"

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.

If it's not one it's the other...

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...
