Why can't we keep this pattern through August then have a cold and snowy winter

Gonna be nice today except for the 50mph winds lol. Finally feels close to summer.

SW wind events tend to do a lot of damage.. especially with leaves on trees

Sub 70 temps through June 1 on SSW/SW winds low level WAD would piss me off to no end in these pahts. 
 

Couldnt live here. Portland is often in that zone, as much as I love that city.

70-75 Mothers Day

[dendrite]

56° already

Meanwhile a low of 31° at BML

[jbenedet]

Another factor to your local forecast. UHI + DCHI

I do believe this already impacts locations downwind…à la imby

[SouthCoastMA]

Um yea SW/SSW arent the best here early in the season, especially. But 60's is doable in May. 

As long as we flush the 40-50° crap out of here I'm good.

Not sure it matters as an augment or not but it may be worse than usual.  It seems we've been through an unusually proficient upwelling circumstance along the interface water where the Labradorian flow abuts the warmer Atlantic.  Those 'tuck' waters running parallel to the coast out there are impressively colder than normal according to this source:  https://climatereanalyzer.org/wx/todays-weather/?var_id=sstanom&ortho=1&wt=1

so yeah...intuitively any S or even SSW flow is unusual doctored.

I wonder if this also the case NW Pacific.  Because rom the vantage provided above, ...we are uniquely cold abused.   F'n weird...   air and sea since last October is like a cold targeting attack right here

Still 47F in Boston Harbor. Waters actually really cooled off this winter.

Everything points to Big pattern flip post mid month. Energy Mets also all over it . These silly tweets 

Not sure about "big" per se... but I agree.  

I explained this yesterday/why...   at the time, the signal is/was mostly numeric, with some hint in the actual spatial synoptics of the general ensemble means.  The operational models were, and in some cases still are, lagging a bit on that. 

The 00z operational Euro's extended is now just detecting the change. First to do so.  It's got some spuriously oddly wrapped cyclones in the interim running up where it shouldn't but removing those and normalizing out those daily aspects that look engineered by the run .. the height changes paint an 80/60 day-night regime from IND-BOS, in real seasonal move.  We'll see if the others begin to do so.

Nice morning, 61/53 here already, but showers heading this way, where did those come from ?
