In the next 7-10 days we should see lots of pop up showers/storms with possibly a rainy Saturday or Monday as low pressure meanders about off the southern New England coast and then later over New England. For June, Omega block pattern of the last 6 weeks continues. Mostly near/below normal temps with 40% chance of an isolated warm/hot day here and there. No sustained heat before June 18th, maybe as late as June 23rd. The hazy hot and humid weather is over Europe and under the bottom (in the GOM and sw Atlantic). Showers/storms over the Gulf States and over the top into Canada. Rinse and repeat this a week from now.

My insensitivity analysis says that June will average below normal  temps and precip - I'll leave the more accurate sensitivity analysis outlook to Don.

Tomorrow will be briefly warmer with highs in the middle and upper 70s. Saturday will be unseasonably cool with highs only in the middle and upper 60s. Temperatures will return to the middle 70s on Sunday. The first week of June could also see temperatures average somewhat below normal to near noraml.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.0°C for the week centered around May 20. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.72°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.83°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -23.11 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.041 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 65% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.5° (0.3° above normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 1.1° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

off a low of 49 now to 64.  Clear and near to below normal todat mid - upper 70s maybe a stray 80.  Cut off low / ULL exits northeast of us but still suspect we see periods of clouds  / cool and some isolated showers on Saturday.  A touch warmer Sunday mid - upper 70s before the next ULL spins in /around the cut off trough undermeath the massive ridge on Monday with more of the same isolated showers, windy conditions other wise a dry 7 days <025 wide..  Flow flattens a bit by 6/4 and moderation to / above normal beyond.  Perhaps next shot at heat 6/6 beyond especially inland.

Looks like that deep low dropping SSE from Canada will produce some strong wind gusts here tomorrow especially eastern sections.
