Had a couple of good gusts as the warmer air suddenly flooded in a little while ago.

3 brutal days here…W Th F. Mostly 40s/low 50s and rain. I don’t think we’ll warm sector this evening.

[powderfreak]

43F and rain here in town… 40F at 1500ft.  32F at 3600ft.

Brutal.

GWDLT. 

Sun just popped out here. Should be a good afternoon before whatever rain we get arrives late this evening.  Up to 63 now.

We still need all of the rain we can get so no complaints…yet. It’s not like we’re missing out on 80° and sun…just have to keep the shades closed for 72hrs.

Warm sectoring here. Clouds breaking with a beautiful murky sky blue sky

Today won't be terrible here  once we get this warm front north. 65-70 most of CT. 

Not sure I can say the same about here.  Currently light rain and 42.8°

[Damage In Tolland]

63 with some sun this afternoon. Not terrible 

[ineedsnow]

some here will lose it if the 12z GFS and 12z Euro AI have a clue

[Torch Tiger]

12z euro ai has some heaters. Who losing it? 

[Typhoon Tip]

like.   some in here will lose it if any kind of weather happens ?   

not sure what was so distracting, warm or cold, about any model run for that matter this morning.

[weatherwiz]

back to clouded over and dark and having to put a light on. Need to get the clapper with how many times I have to turn on/off the light because of this crap

[CoastalWx]

We sun. We buns.

Looks more like temporary mild downs into the 60's/70s at times in the longer range - but it seems like the cold regime is pretty much wiped out after Friday

If we have to endure 3 awful May days, I wish it would RAIN - the 20 months 9/24 thru 4/26 have racked up a deficit of 21.2".  Not mid-1960s but troubling.  Last week's 3-day soaking rain dropped a modest 0.62"; 2" would be nice.

We're moving into a regime where average temperatures and at times quite above average will win out. Any periods of below average will be the product of fronts moving through...this could net 3-4 days of below average temps because it may take a bit to rebuild the greater warmth but the cycle we've been in is coming to an end.

[Damage In Tolland]

There is no cool. None 

[Torch Tiger]

Yeah beyond Friday, any substantial or sustained cool wx is long long gone
