Snow flurries here. Unreal.

Just give me temps in the 70's for now, we can turn on the oven Memorial Day weekend.

This cold weather is great and all but I am really looking forward to getting back to some warmer weather and thunderstorms. Save this for November. Knowing how the last few winters have gone we will probably be 60 degrees with rain on Christmas.

Current temp is 36 after an overnight low of 34 here. Crazy for early (almost mid) May.

Just when we think we have weather figured out it throws us a curve ball.

If we are getting snow in May we are definitely getting a hurricane or tropical storm this year.

On May 9th. Unreal.

Interesting snippet from Mt.Holly's AFD for today and tonight. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As a large mid level closed low slowly digs southeast out of Ontario, a surface low over our region this evening is expected to intensify and deepen. Unfortunately, there are still several question marks with this event even though we are now within 12 to 24 hours of some of the impacts. For one, it still isn`t clear where the center of the surface low will be by early this evening. Most high res models have trended further northwest with the center of the low. This will have impacts on temperatures, where exactly the frontogenesis forcing will set up, and what areas will have some (meager) instability. Another concern I have is that by late last evening a low level southwesterly jet developed that was not well sampled by the 00Z soundings (only evident from the VWPs of KDOX, KDIX, and KOKX). This has me concerned that there may be other significant mesoscale features that have not been sampled well and thus not accounted for in the models. As for the various aspects of the event today:
