tamarack Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 71/28 yesterday, and back down around 30 this morning. That 71 was tops for April. The month averaged 39.7F, about 1F below my 15-yr avg. Finished with 1.65" precip, which is 40% of my avg, and 1.4" snow, 1/4 the avg but only 0.6" under the median. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 We'll have to wait for the 00z obs for the 6hr maxes, but many stations flirted with 80F today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 We'll have to wait for the 00z obs for the 6hr maxes, but many stations flirted with 80F today. Interesting how the heat came in over the top...only mid to upper 60s down here near NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Interesting how the heat came in over the top...only mid to upper 60s down here near NYC.And that should be the theme for thenext week or so too....Min so far is 41.5 here. Looks like another near 70 on tap today before we mild down into the 60s tomorrow with that BDF and associated retrograding ULL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It was definitely pipping right along out there yesterday--topped out at 73 here and yeah, probably pushing 80 down in Hanover. I don't think it quite made it but it was close. I know there's discussion in some other threads but I'm firmly in the "rain, please" camp. We really could use some soon and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 lots in Maine Highest for Maine towns listed by GYX/CAR was 79 at IZG. However, the BGR/MLT/Dover-Foxcroft area may have spots that topped that. Car thermo read 79 at 5 PM in Dexter. Had 75/29 IMBY, and BML made a 50F swing, 79/29. Very light frost this morning, frozen on the tan pickup but just dew on the dark blue Subaru next to it.

wxeyeNH Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 77F yesterday, green out in full swing. black flies started yesterday and it is sure dry hower what a great stretch of weather to make up for that miserable April! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 76F yesterday, but already 76F today. Amazing differences from a week ago in the green up! First 80 today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 76F yesterday, but already 76F today. Amazing differences from a week ago in the green up! First 80 today? I don't know if its my imagination but fall and spring are shorter up here than further south. Green up is faster and in the fall the colors turn faster and leaves fall off faster too. Probably the difference from E Mass is that we are further inland and the ocean effects so much of the climate in the Boston area. Anyway clouds coming in now and front to follow so my temp seems to be holding at 75-76F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I was surprised to see snow still covering the trails at Gunstock. It's only 2,267' but faces north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've been too busy to pay any attention to the weather, so this backdoor front was unexpected and upsetting. Wind just gusted out of the east and now the temp is rapidly dropping. 78.1 was the high, now 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 With no frost expected for the next week and the lake temp at 54, I'd say this area is probably safe until late October.

Beyond that the EC ens look pretty cold toward mid May. I wouldn't rule out a shot for a freeze for CON and here yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Beyond awesome. 83F today in the BTV. I'm out of the country for a while (eastern Europe) but it looks darn near perfect at home right now. I see the past two days at MVL have been 79/38 and yesterday was 82/39 for high/low...hard to beat that dry warmth this time of year. Outside of snow season I don't mind the warmth at all as long as its dry...hate humidity but when daily temp swings are in excess of 40 degrees from morning to afternoon, you know its s dry airmass. That's the type of stuff they see in the Colorado mountain valleys all summer long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not sure if people fish, but heard bass are going nuts. Still a bit early for bass here, but I'm hoping to try North Pond (Belgrades) a week from tomorrow to see if I can hit a pike feeding frenzy. Yesterdays' 67/32 broke two 6-day strings - lows in 20s and diurnal ranges 40+. Back to upper 20s this morning, but I think the high will stop at mid 60s. Actually had some rain yesterday, about 15 drops. Models keeping retreating with any prospect of significant qpf. Don't have the home base info here at work, but latest 32-or-below probably averages around 5/25. It's ranged from early May to June 13 at my little frost pocket.
