was just pokin' around at obs.   Looks like seasonal evapotran might be kicking in.   DPs in the decoupled layer surged from low 40s to mid to upper 50s by dawn at a lot of the NWS tweener sites on their W&H Viewer.    Decouple/radiative nights are probably not going to be able to do the < 40 thing even if the pattern tries to butt bone summer again.  

lookin' like 80s today ... some of the DP mixing out

Hard to believe 3 years ago tonight was the big freeze that wiped out most of the fruit crop at orchards up here…low 20s in the valleys around CON/Loudon.

Top 10er of a day today.   Warm. Low humidity. 
it looks like we picked up a stray shower overnight as well.  Won’t complain about that. 
over 3.5” for the month.

These next 3-4 days will be nice but forecast for the holiday weekend is low 60’s/50’s with clouds and rain Fri straight through Monday.  
 

That’ll def spoil a lot of plans if it plays out like that

Lots of 60s and 70s on the gfs and euro. 70s on both models for Memorial Day.

A lot of it will come down to timing. Latest runs are playing nice, but a little change here and there could muck up a day or two.

Just saying what my wunderground forecast shows. I’m sorry it’s not showing blazing heat and humidity. Don’t take offense to it

Hope its COC too. The over dramatic posts about 6 hrs of 90s is pretty funny. Just like those 20 degree days in Nov get people pumped , but it's faux winter, still a month away from deep deep summer but this preview is sweet 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Mid/upper 80s at noon. Torch
