mattie g Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 This chill and wetness not only made the pollen season late, but also very short-lived. My experience is exactly the opposite. I started taking allergy stuff back in early March because my allergies are to the early pollens. The mild winter started pollen off earlier than normal, then the cool spring extended it.

WVclimo Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 12z GFS is pretty unimpressive with the moisture next week...sharp gradient..keeps most of it to our south GFS has been getting progressively wetter with each run this weekend. Nice, long duration event without many heavy rates. Good to see, as we need the liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Seen a fair amount of "too chilly" comments lately other places. I mean, in the shade and in a stiff breeze maybe a little cool but this is ideal spring weather on the whole. You can't script it much more "proper" in the area IMO. I guess everyone just wants +5 all the time for monthlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 We were -9 on the high today. today was on the cool side but the afternoon was pretty awesome. i'd take this kind of stretch over 75-80 any day in may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I haven't seen the 12Z euro precip but it's 500h track looks like it would give us rain and give us more than one at least drizzly/rainy days. It will be interesting to see whether the GFS or Euro is more correct. Euro is still wet. Wetter than the GFS. I hope we get deluged all week.

I don't think it is that rare. I know a few years back we had a 20-day stretch in May with no 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clueless Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Grass is looking a touch less green than the other day. Bring on the rain. Have not turned on the AC at all. Incredibly nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Back to back days where when I was in the sun it was nice to even very warm but when in the shade it was chilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammrben Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 That's a good question. I don't think it is that rare. I know a few years back we had a 20-day stretch in May with no 80. Sounds like May 2003, notorious for an approx three week stretch with almost no sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess everyone just wants +5 all the time for monthlies. I wouldn't say it's been "too chilly." It's been ridiculously nice in the sun, but cool in the shade. Give me normal temps with some sun right now and I'd be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 This system is moving at a snails pace. Whenever it actually makes its way into the metro area, its going to take forever to clear out. Sun again on Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 GFS is starting to advertise a pretty sizeable ridge taking over the eastern half of the country down the road. One more shot of nice cooler spring air before we get there. Maybe real heat holds off till late in the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
