Above normal, is the new CHILLY VIVA la Mid May cold snaps!!!! Pretty amazing that most sites are only barely above normal considering the amount of sun and lack of rainy days we've had this month.

weatherwiz Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Pretty amazing that most sites are only barely above normal considering the amount of sun and lack of rainy days we've had this month. That is pretty amazing actually...especially in this day and age of "climate warming". You would think that with so many rainless days we would be well above-average temp wise but that's not the case. Which is weird b/c with the ridging we've had here we still haven't been able to get a truly, extremely warm air mass in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is weird b/c with the ridging we've had here we still haven't been able to get a truly, extremely warm air mass in. Most of our big neg departure days this time of year (especially relatively recently) have been due to raw E-NE flow drizzle fests. Our first half of May had a lot of confluence and cP sfc highs. Many sites in the valleys are averaging 30F+ diurnal ranges so far which is pretty remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides our area, the weather for much of the country has just been plain weird. Almost makes you wonder how we will go through the rest of the spring into the summer.

Yeah its almost been a backward month...a lot of our sunny/dry days have been putting up negative departures...our showery/rainy period put up the biggest positive departures...at least down here. Usually in May, its the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is weird b/c with the ridging we've had here we still haven't been able to get a truly, extremely warm air mass in. Up here in Northern New England we've been WELL above normal. About +7 for the month, with 9 out of the first 10 days of the month having double-digit positive departures (KBTV). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nittany88 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just unreal... and there wasn't expected to be much of an outbreak yesterday either. tornado.jpg Prelim EF4 Well and in reality, the outbreak really wasn't that bad. Just the few tornadoes that did form were intense and moved over populated areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2002 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well and in reality, the outbreak really wasn't that bad. Just the few tornadoes that did form were intense and moved over populated areas. True, but this was the outlook issued yesterday morning: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2013/day1otlk_20130515_1200.html I guess it just goes to show that all it takes is one monster tornado...

dendrite Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The 2nd half of last night's EC was pretty dismal for summer wx lovers. Next week starts warm, but then we get a front hung up around CNE by mid/late week with some rain chances. The end of the run is just plain cold for late May...looked like even some snow in the higher terrain of NW ME at the weenie portion of the run.

powderfreak Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Up here in Northern New England we've been WELL above normal. About +7 for the month, with 9 out of the first 10 days of the month having double-digit positive departures (KBTV). You beat me to it...haha. +6.9F on the month at BTV. +4.5F at Morrisville-Stowe and +3.2F at Montpelier. With that said the warmth earlier in the month sort of went up and over SNE in terms of departures...although this recent cold snap put together a couple negative double digit departures, the first 11days at all 3 sites were all +5<. BTV wins the Libations torch award with 9 of the first 10 days being +10<... The daytime highs for the first ten days were generally 70s to low 80s which is ridiculously above normal, especially at the sites east of the Green Mtn Spine. MPV at 1200ft was 70+ for the first 10 days which is very warm for that elevation east of the Spine. The only reason MVL and MPV are only half the departures of BTV is that those two sites radiate well. BTV will win the torch award because with warm daytime temps, it doesn't cool off at night...like a double whammy while MPV and MVL do 40+ diurnal swings to cool off the steep daytime departures.

CoastalWx Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The overall pattern has been cool in the MA. Most places -1 to -2. It's interesting that the further south you go, the cooler it's been relative to normal. NNE with all the sunshine is really warm relative to normal.

THIS SHOULD YIELD WARM AND SOMEWHAT HUMID WEATHER ALONG WITH ARISK OF MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS FROM TUE AND BEYOND.SO WHILE THE FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEK CONTAINS CHANCE POPS JUST ABOUTEVERY DAY...NOT EXPECTING A WASHOUT WITH MANY HOURS OF DRY WEATHERANTICIPATED ESPECIALLY DURING THE OVERNIGHTS AND INTO THE MORNINGHOURS.

CoastalWx Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Models are all over the place next week. I bet Monday and Tuesday are warm with Wiz tstm chances Tuesday.
