The North Pacific right now is totally El Nino. You dont see this in La Nina really ever (Ive been watching since 2001). Nice to have these waves while still in longer wavelength season of a new event
A few analogs to wet May..

A lot of hurricanes off the SE coast a few months later.
Clouds were cool. It was a heavy energy day, similar to before 2016. But it was just a peak (look).. something is trying hard to make a point. That means it's something else
When will this even out? Do we continue on a trend or stabilize somewhere soon? (I think it stabilizes but there is still room to move, we are maybe 60% of the way there since 2013)
Not really a good pattern for severe weather general. The Atlantic tropical ridge is too strong. We need a Lower Midwest heat ridge, Southwest cutoff Low, or something like the late '90s where it gets really warm like upper 90s to 100 in July, coming from the dusty Upper Midwest. This pattern is tropical.
