There were a few of us who mentioned we would see a flip to significantly warmer weather (even some heat and humidity) moving into the second half of May

Did somebody say cold front? All I feel is a gentle breeze with a few clouds passing by on another fine mid 80s afternoon! We take and bake, no questions asked!

Disappointed.

Dew down to 43F.

Going to be quite the reversal of the past couple days when it’s mid-50s for highs tomorrow in sunshine.

Tonight

Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 30s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. 

Thursday

Partly sunny in the morning, then clearing. Highs in the mid 50s. Northwest winds around 10 mph. 

Thursday Night

Mostly clear. Areas of frost after midnight. Lows in the lower 30s. Light and variable winds.

I just did the Ditty porch dance. Big strike close by. And that was it.

Pretty wild. Exactly what happened to me. I was watching the same radar . I even thought about the lightning travels far from a storm wisdom.

Didn’t reach 90 here today…today imo wasn’t all that impressive. Yesterday was the real deal.

Boundary is through here. Skies are mostly clear, wind has picked up, and dews are dropping.

it took a while longer, but the front finally rolled through here, dews dropping nicely, although not as quick as DIT's jorts

[powderfreak]

So dry all the sudden.

72/37 for 29% RH.

[CoastalWx]

90 here today 

[dendrite]

Sad

Heavy torrential rain here. Temp all way down to 69.

Big tree just fell across the street from me. Its insane outside.
