I think the CO-op spot up in Covington may be having some issues. I'm only 4 miles away and it definitely hasn't gotten that chilly last two nights and I see no ash on the ground or in the sky.......

I have that every day! Well, mine has a smidgen of orange juice and a little carbonation and a few artificial sweeteners....but still water listed first.

After the beautiful and perfect past 3/4 days, only way to properly describe this morning is Y U C K. Already 68.3/62.8 at 7 am. BLAH, Roanoke was 77 at 7 am!!! NUTS. Supposed to be 88 here today. I want a rewind to Saturday please. But on a serious note, it was a wonderfully cool May, so one month of the HHH was tossed.

Not sure if we were to pick high temps now or later, I'll add mine and you can include if you wish. Thanks! DCA 100 NYC 99 BOS 99 ORD 98 ATL 100 IAH 105 DEN 103 PHX 117 SEA 96

OK, I got my numbers together, here we go, May 2020.... Averaged high for month was 67.7 degrees vs the 74.4 degree average, a -6.7 below normal AND a new record 'low max' for the month, breaking 2003's 69.5 degree reading by a good bit. The warmest temp recorded was 83.1 degrees on the 17th.The averaged low was 47.5 degrees vs the average of 48.0 degrees, a -0.5 below normal. The coldest temp recorded for the month was 29.4 degrees on the 10th. Overall averaged temp was 57.6 degrees vs the average of 61.2 degrees, a -3.6 below normal and slides into 3rd coolest May ever recorded here behind 1997's 55.8 degree and 2005's 57.1 degree readings. Total rainfall for the month was 6.32 inches vs a normal of 4.11 inches, a +2.21 above normal. The wettest day was on the 22nd with 1.31 inches falling. Although a big plus, not in top 5 largest years, with 2009's 8.03 inches leading the way. There were 17 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T' and 11 dry days. Highest wind recorded was 31 mph on the 15th and 10th. I recorded 13 days with winds above 25 mph. It was a record filled month, with 12 new ones! The above mentioned averaged high for the month, then 6 new record 'cool maxes' (to produce the monthly) on the 2nd, 7th, 10th, 12th, 19th and 21st. Three new record daily low temps on the 7th, 9th and 10th. Then two new daily rainfall records, 1.01 inches on the 21st and 1.22 inches on the 19th. Overall a cool and wet month. Records kept since October 1979.

Outstanding past 24 hours. For those screaming for 'normal', last two days and today is for you. A slightly chilly start here, 42.5 currently, low was 41.8. NO WHERE near record of 33 in 1984, AKA as the year of no or very later 'maters, as we had back to back very frosty 33 degree lows on 5/31 and 6/1 1984.

UGH! DCA: +1.3 NYC: +0.4 BOS: +0.1 ORD: +1.3 ATL: +1.8 IAH: +0.9 DEN: -0.3 PHX: +0.8 SEA: -0.6

Sitting at 6 1/3 inches for the month here, I'd share if I could....

every pound counts in that 1/4 and 1/8 mile!

Definitely can feel the air isn't as sticky this am, thankfully.......

Hope all is well!

With the 0.62 overnight I have crossed the 6 inch mark for the month. Amazing as we are maybe 60/70 miles or so apart as the crow flies. 6.28 currently.

Sadly they have/are happening down this way. Wet, wet, wet.

The SPHL runs a 56 game regular season, it is just about right. Usually starts last week of October and playoff champ is crowned in early May.

Great choice! What did you say you have? 4 acres? You've got PLENTY of time......

Well, he just texted this to me about 10 minutes ago, so that would be little before 6 pm their time...... so much for May sun angle......

Another 0.40 in 20 minutes from storm #2, 0.70 in 50 minutes, water running everywhere again.....

Yep, we were up there (Mt Evans) 2 years ago in mid August and it was snowing and 31 degrees lol! Crazy. We didn't stay long after it started, that is NOT a road you want to traverse with snow/ice on it, and it was accumulating.

LOL, just looked at son's forecast. I'm dreaming....of a white.....Memorial Day.....just like the one's I used to know.......

Had a storm roll thru less than an hour ago and drop .30 in about 10 minutes, another is on the door step and thundering loud currently.

WOW!!!

*divides 3.9 for the season by normal of 26.5* 14.7% hmmmmmm..........

Wait! Wait! Wait!!! WHAT IS THAT??? I see......this blue canopy overhead thru the fog/mist and some strange whiteish looking orb up there....lol!

Another 1.31 in the gauge at 7 am. That brings the last 4 days total to 4.01 inches, and now sitting at 4.93 inches for the month of May. Roanoke had 3 consecutive days with 2+ inches of rain. Never had happened before, their records go back to 1912. I'll have to look for their event total...... Well, here is the NWS tweet- 'For the first time ever since records began in 1912, Roanoke will have its third straight day of having at least 2 inches of rain. Here is the tally as of now: May 19: 2.84" May 20: 2.76" May 21: 2.31" and counting as of 8:45 PM EDT'
