Funny excerpt from NWS Houston: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=HGX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0 Beyond 240 hours? Why are you asking beyond 240 hours? If beyond 240 hours you go, only pain will you find. Yes, I see what the GFS is doing way out there, and I bring it up for the SOLE. PURPOSE. of being a buzzkill. We are now approaching the time of year when the GFS loves to generate tropical cyclones in the western Gulf out of the Central American Gyre in its extended range. The GFS does this...a lot. Every once in a great while, it happens in real life, too! So, if someone starts buzzing about the hurricane in the Gulf in two weeks, let us all take a deep breath and remember that far more likely than not, this is just the GFS reminding us that it is almost June, and nothing more. Regardless of what one model says about a couple weeks out, it is almost hurricane season, and we should be working on being prepared for anything that may come in the next several months as a matter of course. 25

Cranky says this is a random low.

Memorial day today was absolutely awesome. Had a small BBQ (it's ok, police, it was like 6 people)

Man these no-see-ums are going crazy in my backyard.

Fire up dem bug zappers! Do you have one of these bug zapper light bulb things that you suspend from the porch roof and bugs get attracted to them and get zapped?

Tomorrow's high is in the low 80s. We summer. Also a chance for some boomers tonight with bursts of heavy rain.

Pfft. Everybody knows that getting a -NAO during winter is absolutely futile these days. I'm consulting with the reaper @WxWatcher007 for an early booking in the panic room for next winter. Fire up that thread!

It's gotta be an 11 year cycle right? 2009-10 was the last minimum, and 2020-21 is just coming out of the minimum so perfect time to get a february 2010 repeat. Maybe a bootleg 2010 tho as ENSO is gonna be in the la nina phases instead of the el nino during fall-winter of 2009-10.

it's almost horse flies and no-see-ums season. I can ride my bike on a sweaty summer evening down the road these no-see-ums form clouds of hundreds in a concentrated spot and whack you in the face. disgusting feeling.

This may actually verify. Forgive me if these are my famous last words

Right on cue, the last week of may looks like mid 80s starting Wed-Sat then cooling slightly into the upper 70s. Humidity very high too with the chance of scattered showers. What would be May without a direct transition into early summer conditions, after being in early spring for the past 5 months

Does look like easterly flow for the next week. However, as the ULL departs the winds become weak and the strong diurnal heating of late May finally overcomes the bleh airmass and we warm into the 70s and some 80s here and there

Ya never know.. out of all years since the last actual cool summer we've had, this year seems like one of those years where the warm ups keep getting delayed in the LR and we're ending up with a sunny version of easterly flow diarrhea for the next 10 days

I am starting to doubt we're going to get a hot summer. No sign of any prolonged heat, just tons and tons of easterly flow 60s/70s as far as I can see. Memorial day weekend has trended colder and the winds are from the east-northeast till probably next wednesday

Lol, the time we finally do get a ridge in the east, it's all the way up in canada and we have easterly flow until the 27th. Memorial day looks to be in the low 70s here. I need it to actually be warm like its supposed to be for late May.

I don't know all the details but what I do know is that it suddenly teleported to the Chesapeake bay as a category five storm while we were all asleep. Also, here's leaked satellite footage of multiple cat 5s in quick succession heading towards the mouth of the bay:

Decided to draw myself a hurricane in the GoM because I was bored:

Looks like upper 70s to low 80s return starting Friday and thru Memorial Day here. Looks like isolated showers friday and saturday.

Ryan Maue getting thrashed on twitter.

Larry Cosgrove calling for a loooong hot summer for much of the U.S with cooler anomalies in the Midwest. Through November lol.

Poof!
