I just did a 2 mile walk with the dog and it is chilly. 48° with a light breeze.
 

[dryslot]

OVC and 47/40°F what a spring so far.

52/37 up here right now.

However, if it's this light at 8:30pm even with clouds, and we have another month of gaining daylight... need to get out and try to enjoy it.

Hope we get some nice warm evenings over the next two months to enjoy the late daylight.

I was noticing the light tonight too. It's wonderful.

Messenger shuffle east tonight. Ray to Kevin on NW would be having domestics with their spouses if this were winter.

It looks like some white rain mixes in at times over the highest inhabited elevations.  It’s wet, not white.

if we can shift the NAM a bit east and get some heavier precip in here we mix

Meanwhile in Floridah,
100-105F Heat Index for the past several days. Don't mind the heat it's always been the humidity, 70-75Dews. 
Rain season delayed but should start a in week which is later than climo. Last CF of the season "washing-out" leaving behind just enough instability, to generate sea-breeze convergence. U can set your watch by them 4-6pm, everyday.       

God I wish I was there..soon though, it’s coming. As Paula dean once said, help is on the way!

Nothing like chilly, chunky rain heading into MDW.  Warmth is hopefully coming soon.  

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Yet we can’t buy these early deformation bands along RT 2 in winter.

GFS!!!!! 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Nice trends towards a bit less precip here.  Tomorrow will be as bad as it can gets, with regard to late May raw in SNE.

I mean, I hope that somebody that wants to see snow, legit sees snow in the next two days.

I am a diehard winter lover, but I am ready for warmer  weather and a healthy garden..   I want low 80s and dew points in the 30s.

As CoastalWx has already lamented I bet, "why couldn't we get this 3 months ago!!!"

Set up synoptically is ideal for a big snowstorm, but can't fight that it is late May.  Still, I bet there will be some S+ surprises in ME/NH/VT.  Excellent comma head and low track w/ max dynamical cooling aloft as 500 low passes right over the region.  S/w swings around the base of the mean trough and does 90 deg negative tilt w/ a W-E elliptical, oval-sharped, closed 500 low -- about as classic as it can get for "backlash."
