65 / 48 off a low of 57. Partly cloudy - could be period of mostly cloudy but otherwise a nice dry - breezy low - mid 70s. Much of the same Mon and Tue dry / partly cloudy near normal. Wed - Fri - cloudy, cool , wet - ugly 72 hour stretch by mid/late may standards, Highs not budging from the 50s - E/ENE/NE flow. The weekend looks to be somewhat salvage - Saturday lingering clouds and drying out but cool, with a pleasant Sunday / Monday near normal / slightly below. Trough stingy into the NE through the close of the month. Building heat into the wets builds east and north of us, as the next month with gowing opportunities for warmth to move in. 5/18 - 5/20 : Dry. Near normal 5/21 - 5/23 - 24 AM : Miserable stretch - rain , cool, windy -10 to -12 below normal 1.00 - 1.75 inches of rain 5/24 PM - 5/28 : Drying out near normal / slightly below

Sunny for most in the next 90 minutes

Euro still not updating on EWALL but all 3 are in fairly good alignment with trough stingy into the or off the NE through Memorial Day weekend but we could salvage part of Saturday - Sun - Monday with dry weather but near or below normal.

Next week the rain between wed evening and Friday evening

Only if any, light showers as the front passes through as the DElMARVA gets the heaviest and strongest storms.. Should clear out by noon -1:00PM.

69 / 64 Partly cloudy - going cloudy then should clear later. Front/clouds too soon to push any shot at 90 in the warmer spots - cloud in the way. Still the warmest day of the next 14. Dry and near normal - nice stretch 5/18 - Tue 5/20. By Wed 5/21 clouds and trough cutting off. Raw cool / wet Thu 5/22 - Fri 5/23 1.25 - 2.00 inches of rain. Perhaps we can salvage part of Sat 5/24 and then Sun 5/25 - Mon Memorial Day 5/26. Beyond there the month closes out with trough stingy into the east overall near normal. Still - the building heat into the rockies expands east and will see next month open much warmer and the first chance at some heat evolve.

Made it to 78 after the storms now cloudy again.

Looks mostly cloudy today and we'll see the timing of the front tomrorow and any lingering clouds. Sun should return Sunday - Tuesday

Clouds look to come back as soon as Wed next week with a raw Thu/Fri

Storms moving through C/N PA

65 / 64 low level clouds and fog. Some pokes of sun and low 70s could trigger some storms this pm and evening. Saturday the warmest of the next 10, and with enough sun and break between the front 90 degree could be approached in the warmer spots otherwise low - mid 80sn stoems by the late afternoon/evening - pending timing of the front. Sunday - Tuesday nicest - dry stretch with near normal. By Wed clouds and showers are back in the picture and with a stiff E/ENE flow Thursday looks quite ugly and cool. Brunt of the rain between Wed - Fri then could be right on Memorial Day. Trough stingy in the east right through the end of the month. Heat building in the rockies looks to start eastward push early next month.

Up to 71 with the breaks of sun and just north of the storms that blew up in OCean contty

Too bad we couldnt get 6-12 more hours of dry ahead of the front Saturday as some of the warmer spots could have approached 90, still it could be mid/upper 80s ahead of the front pending on clearing.
