Cfa Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I see the smoke to my east, looks like a blindingly bright white sheet underneath the sun. Temp 59, low was 46. Loving this weeks-long stretch of SoCal weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reached 77 here yesterday at 5pm. Today: 68-72, wind e. to se., p. sunny 56 tomorrow AM. 57*(68%RH) here at 7am{was 55 overnight}. 59* at 8am. First GFS run with an unfulfilled 100 or+? Every year this happens maybe on 100 runs during the summer. Wouldnt surprise me if it's off by more than 20 degrees and Saturday is stuck in the 60s, perhaps midnight / wee morning highs but Sat and potentially Sunday look cool and mistu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I just noticed that, and was going to share it. That is a significant amount of near-surface smoke, so expect a rapid degradation in air quality later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Quite possibly the dullest May I can remember in the last 10+ years. Haven't even had a lightning strike since April over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Maybe I’m trying too hard, but I actually think you can smell a hint of smoke right now when you initially step outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not gonna complain about the lack of heat/humidity but it would have been nice to sneak an event in somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I am not gonna complain. Would love to see some severe wx (which we only seem to get during the winter months now anyway), but I am loving the lack of humidity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City on east is tough for severe in April/May-we are the graveyard of severe storms here until later in June...marine layer kills most storms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Still a remarkable lack of rainfall over the next 7 to 10 days on most of the latest guidance. Lawns in partial to full sun in my area that are not being watered are browning QUICKLY. Planted flowers and vegetables being watered every second to third day. Potted plants needing water daily or they wilt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I am in a high rise in CI and can smell this smoke continuously. Visibility is about 6 miles and the Verrazano Bridge is about to white out from my vantage point high up. Almost smells like something in the smoke can make you high after a while---no it is not Mar...........! In the bark of the burning trees perhaps. Ha! Ha! The EURO still can not make it to 80............and it has some rain Saturday. GFS at 95. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard some mets say it's possible, since this time it can mix down to the surface and affect air quality. I noticed the haze in the sky around 1pm. Sitting in a Manhattan high rise I can make out it lowering now to near ground level and in between buildings like fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkviking Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The look in Port Jefferson over the harbor looks like a classic heat wave end of July into August. Slight smoky smell but my nose ain’t the greatest, so probably worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dWave Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I go uptown to the Bx and the sky is blue and no perseivable smoke..but how if it's coming from the NE, or is it sweeping around from the south? Or is it because it more breezy here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 This is the thickest smoke we've ever had here that I can remember. My memory of stale, hot, humid summer days before catalytic converters is similar. Yuck... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Temperatures will begin to rebound tomorrow. June will start with above normal temperatures, but a trough will likely develop leading to a return of cooler conditions shortly afterward. The latest ECMWF weeklies suggest that sustained warmer than normal conditions could develop during or after the second week of June. Typically, a very warm April is followed by a somewhat cooler than normal May in the Middle Atlantic region. The latest data suggests that May 2023 is now extremely likely to wind up somewhat cooler than normal. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.4°C for the week centered around May 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.28°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.42°C. El Niño conditions will very likely develop during the summer. The SOI was -15.45 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.057 today. On May 28 the MJO was not available. The May 27-adjusted amplitude was 1.796 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied nera 100% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 62.8° (0.4° below normal). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
