That tight little vortex spinning southward in SD is interesting

Well, Happy Birthday to those having one yesterday or today! lol

Only 0.13 fell here from several different showers, some quite gusty in late afternoon. So, I will fall short of the monthly record of 8.03" with 7.99" it appears. I have twigs, limbs and leaves everywhere this am, it will be a clean-up day.

Just scrapped to the north about 45 minutes ago with that bow running from Staunton to Morgantown right now, although little in precip, did get a nice 41 mph gust and a couple more in mid 30's.

Expanded south and west, now the western 2/3's of the forum in a tornado watch.

First round of showers just pushed through, about 1/2 way there....

Sun finally broke thru the fog here! It feels soupy/humid as all get out, blah. Supposed to storm later. I am 0.17" from setting a new monthly rainfall record.

Currently 57.6/56.0 here. The sun poked thru around 5 pm and we rose above 60 around 6 pm for the first time in 70 hours. Crazy for late May. Sitting at 7.60" thru this morning, looks like a tenth or so fell so far today (I say that as I'm watching the radar off to the SW heading this way, maybe some more later) and closing in on the record of 8.03 for the month back in 2009.

Not to be.

Still foggy with a heavy drizzle falling. 1.11 in gauge at 7 am reading, the 52.3 degree high held and set a record as I posted earlier. Currently 50.4/49.6. The 1.11 no where near a daily rainfall, that goes to the 2.27 that fell back in 1981.

Almost an inch here since 7 am. Temp still dropping slowly, currently 49.6/48.3 at 8:30 pm. Looks like we will shatter another 'cool max', high so far 52.3 degrees, record is 64 degrees from 1992.

Honest Abe here!! I'm in shorts and a T-shirt now.

LOL, wife couldn't take it anymore, the furnace was turned on. 65 in the house, she put thermostat on 69. Still a light rain and fog with ENE wind at 6 and 50.2/48.9 outside. About .50 in the gauge eyeballing from the window.

LOL, going the wrong way here, currently down to 50.3/49.5 with rain and fog at 11 am. Almost 2/10's in gauge since 7 am.

Was just coming to comment my yard looks the best it has in years with the cool temps and rain, lol. I reseeded back in early April. Then I read all the comments about going native and letting the yards go. I am almost there myself, have to replant 60-70% of the 'yard' (I live in the woods, only real opening is what I took down to build the house plus about 50 foot all around) about every other year, mostly on the edges and what I have going slightly into the woods. Agree 100% on the moss, N and NE shaded spots that get little sun it grows well!

Well, Carolina finally figured out how to score against Florida and didn't get swept, lol. Like the series to at least go 6, the more games played the better in my book.

Shattered the old 'cool max' for the date by almost double digits with a 54.0 degree high, old mark was 63 degrees from 1992. A cloudy, foggy, dreary day with drizzle and light rain and temps stuck in low 50's on light E to N breezes. High was around 6 pm when fog lifted and drizzle stopped. All those things returned late overnight and continues currently. Temp 51.0/DP 50.1.

Well, at noon we have 'warmed' to a blistering 51.7/50.8 with drizzle and fog with an ENE wind at 5 mph, lol. Almost another tenth in the gauge eyeballing it from the window since the 7 am CoCoRaHS reading. Radar has shown little if any 'rain' over us, but it definitely is falling. Edit-looked and the record 'cool max' for the day is 63 in 1992, pretty sure I'll set a new one at this rate.

A cloudy, foggy and wet morning here. Currently 51.1/50.3 at 7:55 am. Rain started shortly after midnight, about 0.12 in gauge.

Canaan Valley NWR down to 25 this morning.

Low was 41.0 degrees, not near a record (34.6 from 2013), but cool. MAYBE today will be the day winds finally decide not to blow into the 20's to near 30 mph from the W/NW lol.

43.0 low here after a 59.8 high. Sun came out and warmed us to 68 earlier, but the clouds and wind have returned in last 2 hours. Currently 65.5/37.6 with a NNW wind at 11 gusting to 19 mph. The 59.8 set a new record 'cool max' for the date breaking 2017's 60.2 degree reading.

Didn't hit 60 today, but close. 59.7 high, with a good bit of wind and clouds flying overhead. As someone said, feels November or Marchish. Currently 56.6/35.7 with a 'cool' NNW breeze at 13 gusting to 22 mph. Highest wind was 30 mph just after noon.

Have turned partly cloudy here in last 20-30 minutes, still a bit breezy but temps finally going up (53.8/40.6 currently) after a 45.7 low.

My latest freeze is May 31st (1984), so there is always a chance......
