While there was an obvious backdoor influence this May, Boston to DC still experienced top 10 warmth. We continue the pattern with the warm up today followed by the backdoor for tomorrow.

Boston....10th warmest so far

NYC........6th........................

DCA........3rd........................

Seem like backdoors were the only thing that held it back from being an all out torch of a month. DC at 3rd make sense being futherest removed from backdoor CF influences.

Yeah, it was an odd combination of influences for May. This was the first time DCA was this warm in May with it being so wet. Previous top 5 warmest Mays were dry there. The warm fronts/backdoor fronts were able to find a tropical moisture connection. 

Top 5 warmest Mays in DCA and rainfall:

#1...2015.....1.92

#2...1991.....1.57

#3...2018.....7.41

#4...2004.....2.98

#5...1994.....1.56

This was the warm season opposite of December 1976. That was probably the earliest NYC December minimum of 9 degrees on the 3rd.

1976 had the earliest highest annual temperature with 96 degrees on 4/19...January had a below zero day...February hit 70 degrees late in the month...May had the latest 38 degree temp on record...August tied the coldest Aug. min on record...October was one degree off the all time lowest minimum...not to mention Hurricane Belle in August...It was a very interesting weather year...

if the 92 in NYC ends up as the warmest temp of the year it would join 2000 and 2009 as the other years in the 2000's with the hottest temp coming in April or May...it's a slim chance that happens again but slim chances sometimes pan out...some of the winters that followed these years were very good...before the winter October had record or near record cold most of these years...some even had a little October snow...

years with the highest annual temp coming in April or May...

2009-10...very snowy 2009-10...three major storms...

2000-01...snowy with a major storm...

1996-97...mild with very little snow...

1992-93...Major storm in March...

1987-88...nothing major...

1976-77...very cold winter...

1969-70...very cold winter...

1962-63...very cold winter...

1939-40...very cold winter...

1914-15...major snowstorm in April...

1889-90...mild...March snowstorms...

1880-81...very cold winter...

You have to wonder if that will keep the potential heaviest rains to our south once again, these back door fronts are getting ridiculous.

It very well good although we'll probably catch some of the action. More flooding rains probable for parts of the Mid-Atlantic.
