CAT5ANDREW Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 This is the first true spring we have had in some time.While April was certainly rainy and had many cloudy days,it was still not unusual.Perfect May so far.I just hope we dont have an abrupt switch to high heat and dewpoints in the longer range.

Cfa Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 This weather is been great, it's been beautiful day after day. However the time is ripe for some signs of Summer, I can't wait. I hope we don't go through a period where we get rain everyday. Edit: Accuweather's 15 Day forecast sure looks interesting, not getting my hopes up though since 15 Day forecasts are almost expected to change.

Edit: Accuweather's 15 Day forecast sure looks interesting, not getting my hopes up though since 15 Day forecasts are almost expected to change. I love this weather and don't want it to end yet...I'd love a few more days of 70/45 for high/low, and I think we'll get them this week with Wednesday-Friday all forecast to be gorgeous, and Saturday looking better as the 12z/18z GFS really want to hold the frontal passage and rain showers for later in the weekend. Most local TV forecasts such as NY Metro Weather have clouds/showers for all day Saturday, but I could see it being pretty clear until later in the afternoon, with temperatures spiking into the mid-upper 70s given 850s near 10C. I also am not betting on any heat for a while since La Niña Mays tend to be cooler than average in the Northeast, and the 12z ECM/GFS really want to keep us in a rainier pattern through Day 10. I'm hoping we don't see extended periods of precipitation with a cut-off low, but rather that we just all pick up .25" in rain/thunderstorms when the FROPA comes through for the next Plains low/cutter.

pazzo83 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I meant that it wouldn't get ridiculously hot, and it didn't. 71F is only +3 for the high temperature, certainly not a torch. Manhattan is in the mid-upper 60s today, right around normal for mid-May. Northerly winds at all levels of the atmosphere are preventing warmer air from the ridge over the Southern Plains from being advected into NYC metro. Just gorgeous here in Tarrytown, where I'm substitute teaching today...went out for a coffee an hour ago, was a delight to be outside. Can't wait to get home and work in the garden this afternoon. Currently 66.2/42 and clear. The high was 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I've noticed the radiational cooling at night has resulted in a significant spread in temp departures b/t my location and NYC. Central Park's at +1.2 for May while I'm at -4.1 here in Monmouth. While my highs have been a bit above normal, my lows have averaged in the 40-44 degree range since May began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will pay for this nice weather down the road. best long duration spring weather in quite some time. I doubt the cut-off low ends up as bad as what the EC portrays but things will definitly be unsettled going into next week. I hope that we can salvage most of Sunday as I will be attending the Rutgers graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yea we haven't dropped below 50 in nearly a week. maybe not in mid-town, but its been cold out here in the western burbs. Go to sleep with the windows open and wake up freezing at 5am having to get up close the windows, and put a shirt on along with an extra blanket.

IsentropicLift Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Anybody else see what the 0z GFS shows in the 160-185hr time frame? Looks like the ultimate setup for a HECS if this was winter. Initial precip from a Ohio valley low transitioning to a slow moving coastal hugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normals tend to be very location specific due to the wonders of microclimates. Take ABE, which has had several lows in the 30s this month, but is running +1.0 http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/PHI/CF6ABE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
