I think this goes out the furthest dont it?I know JMA goes through Dec,but i'm not sure this is what you are looking for https://iri.columbia.edu/our-expertise/climate/forecasts/enso/current/?enso_tab=enso-nmme

Long season, but sure looks like more of the same old crap. I was done with Elias a year ago. He doesnt know how to build a winning ML team, which is the actual job of a GM lol.

We are still in the mode of always missing the bigtime rain.

12z Euro shows snow mixing in with the showers on Thursday over much of Iowa and surrounding areas. Just awful.

I know like 2 of us like basketball but how bout them Sixers, down goes Boston

Since the middle of last night, my area had ~18 hours of near continuous rain, which added to ~1.2” at my place. This was well predicted. It was a near perfect rain to help with drought since it was mainly light to moderate meaning little runoff. I’ll refine this final amount later, if needed. Yesterday’s showers added to only a few hundredths. This is the first event with 1”+ here since way back on Dec 4-5! Great start to May. That also means ~2.2” over the last 7 days in an area that had gone to extreme drought on the latest map due to extreme dryness back to Sept, near the worst drought condition in the US. This doesn’t end the drought but does put a nice dent in it even if only temporary. Hopefully others in a similar situation get similar relief soon if they haven’t already. This event should also have helped with the big fires to the SW.

.20" for the day and a high of 57 at 4:14pm. Thinking about running the fireplace one more time, I can tell from the air others have been running theirs.

A whopping .03" today.

Seems the Orioles are headed for another mediocre season. I think this is it for Elias--and when he's fired we're really gonna find out what was going on (other than roster failure particularly on the pitching side) that made these players constantly underachieve their talent. I mean how does a GM mess THAT up? Has it really been the league's worst usage of analytics...so bad that it messed up all the talent? A soft philosophy that took the fight out of players? I feel like it's something beyond just the roster that has happened. And then the injuries...half of these are just bad luck. But others I'm starting to wonder. I mean you would think new ownership...followed by a new manager and increased spending...would improve things. But somehow we're still here, smh The Monday morning QB on what happened is gonna be interesting.

Froze to death this morning/early afternoon as a wonderful feature of being here in the higher lands is the sun was out at this morning at 9:15 and 38°F felt nice. By game time at 11:30 (after pictures and a parade) the clouds and wind arrived and 44°F was unbearable. I fucking hate May.

No sunburn for us but we were doing the same things. Spring at it's finest.

Spent hours outside walking and gardening today. An absolutely spectacular spring day!

48/31 today. Currently 36 with a bit of a breeze. Felt like a November day (except for the greenery). If we clear out and decouple tonight, temps will likely get well into the 20s.

0.43" for the day. 1.32" for the week. 1.53" since last Saturday. Together with reduced evaporation from cool temps, the bleeding is stopped...for now.

Does anyone have a site where I can generate 12/1 through 3/31 temp/precip anomaly maps? All of the sites I have checked do NOV-APR, DJF, JFM, etc....it's so annoying. I can't find a site that will allow me to manually enter an arbitrary daily period like PSU had....they all bin them into predetermined periods. I can use the ERA 5 dataset on PSU: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/atmoswrit/map/index.html But it plots temps using degrees kelvin and precipitation in MM. Does anyone have a site that can generate DJFM temps maps using degrees F and precipitation using inches?

A cold front moved across the region this morning bringing some scattered showers. Tomorrow will be especially cool with morning lows in the middle 40s in New York City and 30s in many suburban areas. The coldest spots could experience a freeze. Highs will reach the upper 50s to lower 60s despite partly sunny skies. It will then turn springlike early next week with readings reaching the 70s on Monday through Wednesday. Parts of the region, especially interior sections of New Jersey, could reach 80° or above on Tuesday. However the first 10 days of May will likely see temperatures average somewhat below normal overall. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.7°C for the week centered around April 22. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.47°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.27°C. El Niño conditions will likely develop during late spring or early summer. The SOI was -0.29 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.418 today.

Spent 5 hours cleaning the gardens. Got sunburnt. 4 yards of mulch put out and a pickup full of dead stuff/weeds/pruned bushes and plants//winter debris.

Can't say I mind it still being Twilight.

Yeah it’s still mostly sticks here. The aspen and willow are the only things that have started leafing out. The forsythia is fully flowered now. Hopefully this week we wake more up.

Was supposed to rain and not much.

57 for the high today. This cool, mostly overcast weather sucks. And tonight another frost is likely.

Snow fell for several hours overnight. So both May 1 & 2 had a T of snow.

Nice camera shot. Your landscape is a solid 3-4 weeks behind here.

WB 18Z EURO Wed./Th. As duly noted in NWS discussion, big shift south with low pressure compared to yesterday.

Down to 46 degrees already.
