Couple ongoing right now in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, this satellite pic was taken yesterday, fires circled in red, orange dots

Little bit of elevated smoke from Canadian wildfires this morning. Thankfully not more

Always interesting when a "cold" front comes through in the spring on LI, temps went from the upper 50's last night to near 70 in the early morning once the front passed. There's a bit of elevated smoke in the sky on the visible satellite, noticeable over PA. It is moving south with clearer air to our north

Down to 70 already after a high of 79. Sea breeze cooling off the south shore fast

AI can only be so good as the data and observations that go into it. Less input data, more inaccuracy. Clouds are holding back temps a bit here. Need them to thin out to get into the 70's here and 80's inland.

I'm not saying that asking for average temps is a stretch but everyday isn't average, especially with how springs (particularly April) are around here it's tough to expect sustained nice weather. I'm just saying if it was a week of 75+, not many would complain.

I hope so. If it's 65 and sunny I'll gladly take that, but there's always the possibility of backdoor fronts, clouds, and wind

Don't know how much stock to put into it, but the weeklies are below average for most of May, and they were below average for most of April too

It's a problem when a 75+ degree day in March is talked about like it's "just a nice spring day", but 40 and rain in April is "well below average". I think some have an unrealistic expectation that the weather should be 60+ daily in the spring and that just isn't the case in the northeast. People do want warmer weather which is part of the reason why many move south. I always look at the record lows and see how much colder it could be, that should be put into perspective when people want to talk about how cold it is. It's been said before, people are getting used to the warmer weather. The general public wouldn't bat an eye if April was +3, but they would if it was -3, that's for sure.

67 here, 53 two miles to my east, the real BDCF. First front that came through was more like a sea breeze, from the north shore...

30° difference between north and south shores

Up to 79 with west wind, front should be here very soon Absolutely wild how much warmer it is right now on the south shore than the north shore

The HRRR had this well modeled as well, only difference was the NAM never showed 80+ degrees, classic lol Interesting enough, the sea breeze actually got pushed back, my winds are now due west

77 50 in Kings Park, meanwhile it still in the 70's out to Shirley

77 with SW winds. The front is coming through faster over the water than it is on land, as modeled. Should have another hour or so of warmth
