lol...the euro has 2m 90s in the torch spots of the Merrimack valley at d10. EC ens are hot until the following Tuesday. The hottest temps still stay a bit west of us with the ridge axis over the Great Lakes, but we get more of a piece of it this run.

I think Steve's graphic was soil moisture content...probably a different metric than whatever the US drought monitor does.

No I used the Palmer index which most Hydrologists use, the Palmer blend is by far the preferred drought indicator tool used to assess soil/hydrologic conditions. Tips drought monitor site uses media reports and Ag reports which they gather. Here is the latests CPC Palmer index and blend which IMHO accurately depict the hydro conditions existing today. Main stem rivers are normal, groundwater is normal, reservoirs are normal, soil conditions are moist.

The 0z ECM and 0z GFS were a textbook Sonoran heat release with 30C 850s advected NE by a developing -PNA. Looks brutally hot in the long range.

34/34, some patchy frost noted.

I also noted a little frost on the front lawn of Hampshire Country School at about 1100' in the Monadnocks. Went for a run at 6:45am and it looked a touch white, but quickly extinguished by the sun.

I''m just not seeing the all day or multi day windswept, washout you and Ginx are . I see a day or 2 like we just had this week. Temps in the low 70's..dews around 60 ..with times of showers and storms, and one day in the warm sector ahead of the cold front

Who said multi day event with 3-4" of rain? Chalk it up to a lousy Monday aftn to Tuesday aftn. It will be damp and cool with some rain. Who cares, it's the middle of the week. Why are you so afraid of it?

SUMMARY OF IMPACTS...

MANY GROUND WATER WELLS MONITORED BY THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL

SURVEY HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE SHORT TERM DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND

INDICATE BELOW NORMAL LEVELS...BUT OTHERS WERE WITHIN THE NORMAL

RANGE AS OF MAY. OTHERWISE...IMPACTS RELATED TO THE DRY CONDITIONS

HAVE BEEN REDUCED. RECENT RAINS DURING LATE APRIL THROUGH MID MAY

BOOSTED RIVER LEVELS INTO THE NORMAL RANGE. AS OF MAY 17...THE 14

DAY AVERAGE STREAMFLOW WAS WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGE ALONG THE

MAJORITY OF GAGED RIVERS IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. RECENT PRECIPITATION

HAD ALSO IMPROVED SOIL MOISTURE TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS.

AS OF EARLY MAY...THE MAJORITY OF RESERVOIRS IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND

WERE AT NORMAL LEVELS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS WAS LARGELY DUE

TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL DURING LAST AUGUST THROUGH NOVEMBER...

WHICH SERVED TO FILL THE RESERVOIRS. THE RECENT RAINS HAVE ALSO

GIVEN SOME RESERVOIRS A BOOST.

So what would you forecast then highs in the 50;s with rain showers lol?

I could see cstl areas struggling for 60 Monday. If clouds come in quickly, then interior struggles for 70. Tuesday depends on how fast the low moves out but i would also say mostly 60s maybe 70 inland. You are lucky the timing of this is at night or else you would be in the 50s.

From a low with tropical origins with SE flow in late May?

There is no such thing as a low bringing 70 dews in late May. East winds, possibly even NE are not warm wind directions. It's so called tropical origins never really get to make it this far north and is mostly in the form of warmer air aloft. If this were to stay in tact and cut west, then I could see more humid air, but temps still would not be all the warm. Tuesday could be one of those more muggy days, but temps may be highly muted if there are clouds. However areas like western MA may have a nice Monday..maybe even CEF. It depends on how quick clouds come in. Still lots of time to figure out, I just wouldn't plan on the best weather Monday and Tuesday, that's all.

Morning low of 35° F here this morning after a nice, brisk day yesterday.

Anyone remember what today is? The anniversary of 5/18/02, the latest measurable snow event ever recorded for many in W NE and E NY. I think 2K here in the Berks had 5-6" in that event and there was 2-3" in the Pittsfield area. Even Albany got 2.2" out of it. 8" was recorded in legendary Woodford, VT at 2.4K. There are more totals at http://www.cbs6albany.com/weather/features/historical-data/notable-storms.shtml

Just scroll down to 2002 and click on May 18. Amazing event.
