34.0° 

That was as low as it got. Saved by clouds and a breeze as the WAA started coming in aloft.

39° now

Yeah looks warmer after mid month

If I copied the forecast from 5 Saturday’s ago, it would still be applicable to this coming Saturday. WTF.

Even this week feels like a step up. Freeze threats and highs in the 40s are waning…although the 6z GFS tries to shit on Saturday again.

The operational models, all of them ... are lagging behind the mid month warm signal that both the numerical indices, and the extended range ensemble synoptics ( all three) suggest.   They are flipping the script after ~ 12th to 15th in there.

The operational versions are oblivious.  Reloading a winter mocking pattern foot. They're stuck.  It's gotta end at some point...

So I guess we'll see.
