yeah this week's a lost cause through Saturday.   might see some improvement on that day but the more appreciable change comes in Sunday like others have noted.  

we've actually fared pretty well so far this spring at not getting into a cold-stalled scenario in the larger synoptic behaviors.   most of the schlitz we've encountered has been progressive and carried on out of here in a day or maybe two.  but this is more of a blocking scenario across mid and eastern Canada. I guess we're kinda "due" considering our climate in the spring. 

the NAO is trying to rise moving forward this week ... but there's some sort of vestigial non-linear aspect lingering, where the circulation in general still "behaves" like a train wreck- either way, we've lost the progression so things are slowed down.

Here we go again ...

this has been going on for 20 years where eastern, mid -latitude North America, yeah ...we're warming ( mainly in the low temperatures ) in this region like everywhere else, but we are routinely the coldest (also)  relative to everywhere else.    Australia also had a summer that apparently 'could not end' according to press down there.   Haven't heard from Europe - but the various climate monitoring sources are still pimping the global aspect. April was #2 - I think...

Play with the settings to get it how you like it.

sorry to hear. You’re way up. I’d consider living in coastal Maine—even out to Eastport—- but never as far into the interior as you are. Too much winter.

Add 10-15 degrees to your temps and that’s my location.

That could work for clear calm nights - our site radiates well.  Daytime temps, sans a front between us or clouds vs. sun, should have us more like 5-8° difference.  High here yesterday was 51 with essentially no brightening.

Thru April 30, maxima here has been 0.8° below my average, minima 1.5° above.  May 1-19 maxima 0.2 AN, minima 6.4 AN.  And the beat goes on.
Some of the milder minima is due to near-incessant wind, especially in January.

We've had worse.

Big coc out there. Enjoy before it slips away for a while…

Hilarious that the weather service there suggests "adding layers" to prevent catching a cold.  I will boldly state that a temperature drop from 41c to 26c has no impact on the transmissibility of a cold virus.

I think it has to do more with the fact that a temperature swing like that is like a shock to the body which can impact the immune system negatively.

I guess comparatively, Monday will be "decent" but that's not really saying much. I would think we still have a quite a bit of clouds around. There will be a bit of a breeze too, especially eastern areas and it will be a chilly breeze too. Not sure anyone really gets close to 70...probably 65-68 for warmest readings. At least it will be dry I guess

I’m going to have to turn the pellet stove on.

JUNEAU, Wis. (WMTV/Gray News) – A dairy farmer in Wisconsin said his property was destroyed by a tornado Thursday night, leaving one of his cows impaled by a 2x4 board.

The cow somehow survived, but a photo of her injury shows just how strong the power of mother nature can be.

Bob Schwandt, the owner of the 300-acre farm in Juneau, said the storm left a path of destruction. He’s lucky to be alive.

Saturday doesn't look like complete azz... dreary for sure

 

Edit: 12z EC stil rolling, so that might change my views

West is best for Saturday.

Kevin's over top warm blast is showing up on some of these recent GFS runs around June 1.    This 12z version has a continental warm front demarcating a torpedo heat tube coming from the WNW ... probably 90 considering the sun up thickness is 567, and 572 by late afternoon behind this boundary... transporting 850s to 16+C in an easily tall mixing layer

[Torch Tiger]

Yeah EOM into June still looks warm/hot. Steined though

Would love some warm and dry... alas... I fear humidity will be in play

Doesn't look humid through D10 really. dewey may have some at-bats beyond that

I've been thinking the first week or so of June for installs.. probably go from cool to boiling for two months.. 

[SouthCoastMA]

This is the latest I've made it without installing in long time. Might make it close to June at this point

Yup only one night I could of really used it. But it wasn't worth it with the cool air were having now.. it will change soon though

[ineedsnow]

The way I look at it though there's 31 days until the longest day of the year then we start losing daylight again.. and only 73 days until August 1st and the crappiest month of the year is behind us

also less than 10 months away from the end of next winter, though.  Creeping up
