Absolutely!  Sudden non thunderstorm winds are definitely a threat to small craft.

DT was aleeting about the first legit heat wave for the MA this week yesterday. Widespread 85-90 deg temps!

What? Where? mid 70s to low 80s for 3 days is all I see.

             NAM is showing mid to upper 80s for a lot of folks in the MD/VA area on Thursday (although it's quite cool for northern areas on Wednesday).

Only 52 days until the days start getting shorter. After that unprecedented cold and snow for the I-95 corridor is a lock!

The models are already trending.

After the solstice, with the days getting shorter, we will have 52+ days of heat and humidity to endure.

I am so happy not to have to read about the Euro weeklies being epic. LOL.   Just have to worry about all the bugs around. Seems like last week  we were discusiing the winter outlook, and now we are less than a month to the start of summer. 

The guy who did great with the winter forecast for Feb, went  warm with less snow ) has our areas in the + 2 degrees above normal contour for the period June through August, it seems reasonable these days.  Have to check the precip outlook.

Model battle for tomorrow, NAM vs the world.  The 3km keeps us in the easterly murk all day, while the other models break us out of it.

GFS says rain around all day tomorrow while almost all other guidance has nothing.
