Very unpleasant holiday weekend at the coast. No rain but too cool & windy. 

[donsutherland1]

New York City has had five consecutive days with lows of 49° or below after May 20th for the first time since 1992. The last time New York City had five consecutive such days was May 24-28, 1992.

[WestBabylonWeather]

Pretty pleasant day outside so far here at the coast IMO

[TWCCraig]

NYC's average monthly low for May is 44 degrees (1991-2020). NYC had their coldest temperature of the month yesterday 3+ weeks in at 47 degrees. The average lowest temperature from 5/20-5/31 is 51.4 (1991-2020)

57 / 43 partly cloudy - mostly cloudy today mid 60s but looks dry.  Warming Sunday to the low 70s and mid 70s with sunny conditions on Monday - memorial day.   Warmer Tuesday ahead of next trough digging in could approach 80 in the warmer spots with enough sunshine.   Clouds lingering around Wed/Thu with next chance of rain - which looks mainly light and staying south.  brief warmup next weekend before trough returns 5/31 - 6/2.  Warmth and heat from the west moves north and east with heights rising by the 5h for a much warmer mirgation. 

5/24 - 5/26 :  Cooler to normal / mainly dry
5/27 :  Brief warm up to near / slighy above normal
5/28 - 5/29 :   Clouds some light rain <0.50

Historical:

 

1877: Heavy snows occurred over parts of the northeast and New England. 4 inches of snow fell in Berkshire County, Massachusetts.

1894 - Six inches of snow blanketed Kentucky. Just four days earlier as much as ten inches of snow had fallen across Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Six days earlier a violent storm had wrecked nine ships on Lake Michigan. (David Ludlum)

1930 - A tornado touched down near the town of Pratt, KS, and traveled at the incredibly slow speed of just 5 mph. (The Weather Channel)

1940 - Hail fell near Ada OK to a depth of six to eight inches, and rainfall runoff left drifts of hail up to five feet high. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Severe thunderstorms in southwest Texas spawned a couple of tornadoes near Silverton, and produced golf ball size hail east of the town of Happy. Thunderstorms also produced large hail and damaging winds in Louisiana and Texas. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the southeastern U.S. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 88 mph at Columbia, NC. Baseball size hail was reported near Tifton GA. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced severe weather across the Upper Midwest through the day and night. Thunderstorms spawned 30 tornadoes, and there were 158 reports of large hail and damaging winds. A strong (F-3) tornado caused five million dollars damage at Corning, IA, and a powerful (F-4) tornado caused five million dollars damage at Traer, IA. Thunderstorm winds gusting to 88 mph killed one person and injured five others at Stephensville, WI. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1990 - Severe thunderstorms spawned two dozen tornadoes from Montana to Oklahoma. Four tornadoes carved a 109-mile path across central Kansas. The third of the four tornadoes blew 88 cars of an 125-car train off the track, stacking them three to four cars high in some cases, and the fourth tornado caused 3.9 million dollars damage. The third tornado injured six persons who were trying to escape in vehicles. A woman was "sucked out" of a truck and said that at one time she was "airborne, trying to run but my feet wouldn't touch the ground". She also saw a live deer "flying through theair".

My Mom would tell me, “ remember you are judged by the friends you keep”.  Well done, forky, as always…..

3 day totals via CoCoRaHs reports which looks good including NYS Mesonet and my Wanted 1.25. Drought over for the time being, as per last Tuesday's report and this attached data that goes into the 5/27 report publicly available 5/29. EC suite was overdone for this period, no doubt...both wind and rain. 

 

Looks to me like milder this coming weeks 70s morphs into summer June 1, more or less on schedule with at least 80s almost daily the first week of June, excepting coastal sea breezes. 

 

CoCoRaHs 3 days attached-click for clarity.

Please stop with the weather mod bullshit. 

it's the best, humans modify everything, nothing is untouchable not even the weather.

There was a 30 minute shower yesterday right around sunset, pretty heavy rain, while it rained I had an allergic attack,  Before it rained and after it rained everything was fine.

This storm that moved through NYC produced a crazy vivid double rainbow

everywhere but here.... we had a big storm with dark clouds move in around 7:30 and it lasted until around 8.  At the same time, my allergies spiked (no allergies before or after the rain lol)

I was looking for rainbows but didn't see any, funny how localized they can be.
