Yep, we can’t get a weekend with both days having nice weather of late.  Have to enjoy Saturday before it goes to hell again.

It's not the wet, it's the temps too.

Last 12 month precip here was 33.03". That's a good 15" below normal.

The last two years have been very dry across much of the CONUS. It will be interesting to see how things go with the developing super El Niño.

The current pattern has been alternating between surges of Niña-like warmth and cooler El Niño-like intervals from the spring into early summer so far.  But we have still been averaging out warmer than is typical this time of year for such a strong developing El Niño.

So not sure if the precipitation will fully shift into a more Nino-like wet pattern or we still hold onto some reflection this Niña-like drought pattern. Ridges have been significantly stronger than usual across much of North America in recent years. So the more expansive high pressure has tended to really dry things out.

only thing growing on my lawn that is exposed to the sunlight is weeds - ground is dry as a bone here in central NJ and after the hot sunny temps this week the weeds will stop growing too....

Dries out fast this time of year with peak sun angle.

I just figured Isaias was retired

Surprised it wasn't.  Granted it was only a CAT 1 but it caused 5 billion in damage in a heavily populated area.

Yeah we really need the rain. I hope Sunday works out, even though it would be bad timing with the rain being on a weekend day. Before then a lot of watering will be needed this week.

I think the difference between this rain threat coming up for Sunday and the Memorial Day weekend event is that the Memorial Day weekend event brought meaningful rain.  The potential rainfall this coming Sunday will be more meaningless but just enough to F up a weekend day.  Looks like 1/2" or less for most spots based on the more reliable model guidance.  We'll see how it plays out but it does not look overly wet IMO.

Yeah we'll see as we get closer but a total washout seems unlikely

Idalia (in 2023) should have been retired as well. I guess there must be a shortage of I names that they need to keep them in there unless there is a truly historic storm.

This Spring is nuts. Looking at the GOES NE satellite it seems the Jetstream is going backwards for days on end.

Stupid clouds *shakes fist at sky*.

A warming trend will commence tomorrow with highs in the upper 70s to perhaps lower 80s. Thursday should see temperatures top out in lower 80s. Friday and Saturday will be very warm days with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Saturday will remain warm before somewhat cooler air arrives to conclude the weekend.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.0°C for the week centered around May 27. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.90°C. The ongoing El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -16.87 yesterday. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.714 today.

Can we please keep this weather for the rest of the..... century? Highs in the low to mid 70s. Lows in the low to mid 50s. It's just perfect.

Rare 30° June daily temperature range on Long Island with how dry it has been. It  was the 4 largest on record for Long Island during June. Big afternoon temperature jump following some spots with shorter periods of record recording a record low.

Pretty calm weather next few days; however, this is one of the worst tick years in a while. Our lab is routinely seeing near record/record numbers during our routine sampling. Take precautions out there and learn all the moles on your skin! If it has legs it isn’t a mole!

When is this nonsense going to end ? Near record highs in some locations to near record lows in a short period of time  has happened a few times since April - one constant however - the drought will continue until further notice.

70 / 46  - most to 80 after a few got there Tuesday.  Warmup some heat and potential heatwace (2nd for some) Thu - Sat.  Front  upper low influence on Sunday.  Onshore barrage next week but more So cal with it remaining dry.  Once flow comes around it moderates / warms up quickly and comes with a window 2-3 days of brief but strong heat as overall ridge north and weakness below will continue through mid month.  Overall near to above normal by way of short but strong warm-heat.

And then, we go right back to potential near record heat by the 12th-13th according to some of models.
