    70 / 55, sunny. Upper 70s / low 80s before clouds/storms (currently in WV/WPA) arrive later this afternoon and into the evening. Clear out and cools off Thu and part of Fri before warming back to the 80s by this weekend. Period Jun 4 - 8/9th continues to look warmer and offers next / first shot at 90s for many spots. Beyond there GFS/Euro differ with Euro trough into the East and GFS warmer look.

    77 / 57 sunny. Partly cloudy (clouds moving se) and near / low 80s for some the 8th straight 80 degree day. NOverall great stretch of weather near normal with a day or two below Thu (5/30) and Fri (5/31) and while no sustained heat is in sight, the period 6/2 - 6/6 looks warmer on recent guidance. Outside of Memorial Day itself, the extended Fri - Sun was one of the nicer ones in a while.

As water swept through Richmond, buildings, boats, animals, and vegetation were lost. About one hundred fifty people were killed as the River reached a flood stage of forty-five feet above normal. A monument to the flood was inscribed by Ryland Randolph, of Curles, in 1771-72: " ... all the great rivers of this country were swept by inundations never before experienced which changed the face of nature and left traces of violence that will remain for ages." 1896 - A massive tornado struck Saint Louis, MO, killing 306 persons and causing thirteen million dollars damage. The tornado path was short, but cut across a densely populated area. It touched down six miles west of Eads Bridge in Saint Louis and widened to a mile as it crossed into East Saint Louis. The tornado was the most destructive of record in the U.S. up until that time. It pierced a five-eighths inch thick iron sheet with a two by four inch pine plank. A brilliant display of lightning accompanied the storm.

Although tornado warnings were issued 30 minutes in advance and local sirens were sounded, there were few places to go for safety. Most homes were on slabs, with no basements. Houses were swept clean off their foundations, with little debris left behind. Total damage was $20 million. The same thunderstorm complex produced a wind gust to 122 mph at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio.

    71/ 69 mainly cloudy 0.16 in between 5-7AM. Shower storms later / evening. Trough into the NE this week, overall near to slightly below normal through the 31st. Flow flattens by this coming weekend, so perhaps a dry weekend. No 90 heat in sight through the 8th. Could see evolution of Plains/GL ridge by the 8th,perhaps ridging pushes east beyond there.

    68 - humidity up with a DT of 67. Cloudy with some showers into SNJ. Overnight storms narrow strip for some, looks like EWR/NYC didnt record any rain. Should get to partly cloudy and warm to the low / mid 80s. Clouds back later this evening and a warm and wet Memorial Day tomorrow. Beyond that as we close May, trough into the east, perhaps some storms Wed evening / THu, but overall near normal to below - coolest Thu (5/30) - Fri (5/31). Overall trough east / ridge west pattern through the 8th - signal for cut offs still persists ECM keeps it offshore. We'll see if the similar progression has a back and forth (1-2) warm up between troughs. Heat is evasive next 2 weeks. Perhaps a window for a day or 2 between troughs.
