Mr. Windcredible! Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Chilly rainy (off and on) morning here. 49 degrees.... June is definitely starting off on a different note. Hopefully this is the last of this kind of dreary miserable weather we see until October. I get no enjoyment out of this kind of weather regardless of time of year...but when we're talking more than 1-2 days of it anytime between May and September I find it just unbearable. Thankfully there was some sun around yesterday which was nice. We also a nice little thunderstorm last night right around 8pm...absolutely poured for 20 minutes or so...had some good rumbles of thunder and gusty winds that came with it.

Logan11 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Ahh ..doesn't bother me so much. I love European type summers ...nice temperate wx with lower humidity interspersed with real wx systems embedded in the westerlies. Not on a daily basis, but I'm fine with a rainy day or two per week. I feel like I'm in a sub tropical desert when the jet retreats north and we gets weeks of HHH wx with just occasional thunderstorms.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I will admit, seeing snow in June is a unique experience. A few years back, right around this date, I traveled out west for a bit of field work for my old company. Landed in Amarillo one afternoon...temperature was close to 110. A couple days later I was in SE Wyoming...and saw some snow/sleet driving over the pass on I-80 between Cheyenne and Laramie. Later that day met a friend for a quick stop in Rocky Mountain National Park. Roads were closed 1000ft above Estes Park due to the 6-12" of snow that had just ended earlier that morning. At the highest point before the closure, there was maybe 2-3" of fresh snow on the ground and of course I got quite a few pictures. I enjoyed the trip of extremes, and while it was fun seeing fresh snow on the ground in June...I don't think I could live in a place where it was more frequent than a 1 in 200+ year freak occurrence. Let it be summer in summer...and winter in winter. That's my opinion anyway. I'd take this wx any month of the year. view Yesterday's Weather Mount Washington Lat: 44.28 Lon: -71.3 Elev: 6266 Last Update on Jun 4, 7:55 am EDT Light Snow Low Drifting Snow Freezing Fog and Windy 28 °F (-2 °C) Humidity: 100 % Wind Speed: E 45 MPH Barometer: NA Dewpoint: 28 °F (-2 °C) Wind Chill: 9 °F (-13 °C) Visibility: 0.00 mi.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 BTW...record low max for this date in Albany is 58. High so far is 56. Light rain for the next few hours. We should give that record a run for its money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 This weather is disgusting. Luckily we will be heating up once again and hopefully for the rest of the summer/fall period! =) http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610temp.new.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814temp.new.gif Those are some strong percentages!

I'm not much of a long-term outlook guru...but persistence would seem to suggest the biggest anomalies end up being a bit further west. So maybe from you guys in Buffalo west through the Great Lakes would take the brunt of the heat this summer...while out here to the east and on into SNE we see above normal but lower positive departures that you guys out west. Like I said, that's just my thought based on persistence...maybe the pattern will shift a bit further east than has been the trend during the spring to focus the torch more on SNE. Either way, as long as we rid ourselves of this cloud/drizzle/cool misery, I'll be happy. Albany ended up hitting 59 yesterday afternoon, missing the record low max by one degree. I actually saw a couple patches of blue in the sky and about a 30 second glimpse of the sun around 4:30...that's probably what bumped us up that extra degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying MXZ Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Showers off and on yesterday afternoon ruined my lawn mowing. Got it half done though. Looks great. Cleared out sometime overnight and dropped to 38.3°, always a nice to see the 30's in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Something to keep an eye on for S. Ontario/C &WNY for Friday night....potential for nocturnal MCS.....we'll see how it unfolds. Always difficult to forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 My wife's aunt posted a picture to Facebook last night of some pea sized hail covering the ground in Staten Island yesterday evening. Was hoping for a better chance of some hailers today...but looks like the cold pool is displaced a bit too far south for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always difficult to forecast. GFS has caught on....NAM did for awhile, then backed off (seemed to delay until Sat. aftnoon.). Will be interesting to see if the bubble of heat behind such a feature overperforms for late Saturday afternoon into Sunday as seems to be the case, often times in these setups.

LakeEffectKing Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 From BUF: LATE TONIGHT ANOTHER SHORTWAVE APPROACHES WITH INDICATION OF AN MCS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE UPPER LAKES MOVING SOUTHEAST ALONG A WARM FRONT ACROSS PARTS OF THE REGION ON LATER TONIGHT/SATURDAY. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EXACT PLACEMENT SO HAVE TENDED TOWARD MORE OF A BROADBRUSH ON POPS WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBERS GENERALLY ACROSS THE FINGER LAKES WITH LIKELY POPS THERE. NO MENTION OF SEVERE POTENTIAL AT THIS TIME IN THE ZONES HOWEVER WILL REISSUE THE HWO WITH THE MENTION OF AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM POSSIBLE. Current radar shows a fairly weak complex over the UP of MI, with some isolated cells popping out ahead, I think someone will get "rocked" a bit late tonight into tomorrow morning.....nocturnal complexes along WF's are always "fun"!

manhattanandcatskills Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It has not hit 60 today in Andes...remarkable considering S NJ and SE PA are almost 90. It is cool and damp; the rain ended about 2.5 hours ago. Sitting at 59 and loving it, though a few sunny days in the upper 70s are always nice.

BuffaloWeather Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 But the lake is our best friend in the fall and winter I enjoy Thunderstorms/Tornadoes just as much as the snow. Id sacrifice some snow for 50% more Thunderstorms! I need to chase pretty far to even get a glimpse or a Tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstorms are exciting but id rather have no storms all summer and get nailed with 50% more than normal of snow (which would be about 165" here because average is 110") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wx4cast Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Just saying but the end of next week and much of the following week will probably feature some pretty good convective threats 23-25th and around 29th and 1 July. Later two events could be BIG! We'll see. I hope to fine tune my outlook more by this Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pay so much to go chasing with Reed! Be a day to remember forever driving in one of the Dominators. I have only seen one Tornado live in my life, was a beautiful thing. I hope to go chasing again this year if they hit within a few hour drive from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
