I remember Memorial Day weekend in 2020 it was another rainy and cold weekend…temps in the mid 40’s with that one here.  This one was mid 50’s…but small consolation.

I don’t even know when the last time I had over .25”

in an event. He’s here. Creeping, peeping, and trying to take my grass and plants. 

I see .70 Taunton

I see .60-.67 S Wey

With another hour of rains to go 

[Torch Tiger]

light showers quickly escaping east, nice morning underway

[jbenedet]

Lost 1 day to the rain considering the late start yesterday. 
 

looking forward to 70 and sun. With 8pm sunset can maximize the opportunity.

I love that when that happens.   

We're suddenly alleviated here in the last hour.  Steady morning rains bangin' away at the awnings had become sort of hypnotic.  Somewhere between that state and a sun burst just splashed through the windows me must of finally escaped - or begun the break out process.

Looking good for at least a little bit of clearing later this afternoon even in SE areas. Back in the warmth tomorrow.

[jbenedet]

Already feeling like shorts.

Some of the 12z models are interesting for Northern New England.. let's trend that west and bit colder..

What a nice afternoon.  Shut the pellet stove off last night and now its 75.  This is whats going on around my house.  Merlin app is fantastic.

The clearing line is like watching paint dry.

Definitely something passing through Saturday. Now can it get out of here by aftn or does it pivot and linger into Sunday.

Dew point is at 60.  Holding at 75.  Hard not to smile at this point. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Wait for sun to come out will soon be over.

[dendrite]

Self destructed a bit with the high moisture and sun, but made it to 70° anyway.

Guarantee those of us on the immediate coast will see a full solar breakout within the last hour or so of the day, while folks west of Springfield will have already caught up on any missed napage. Sometimes I feel like we’re following some kind of poor, but totally predictable (and tragic) script on Memorial Day.

That’s awesome. I use this app too and the number of titmice, warblers and chipping sparrows has been insane this year. Have also seen quite a few red bellied woodies making their presence known this year.
