Nittany88 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yeah...probably based on other obs. Of course UP can still be plain rain though. I thought the previous night's UP looked more questionable. Automation FTL. Yeah sometimes drizzle is reported as UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Slow going up in the hills this year and even here not much popping besides crocus, with some magnolias and forsythia showing but down the valley in Northampton and Springfield things are really flowering and greening up. (Forsythia look pathetic this year all over town, not sure what the problem is.) I think the past few springs had early blooms which have fooled us into thinking this year is late. This year is definitely late regardless...its pretty rare to have almost zero greening in ORH hills around 5/1 (save maybe some really tiny buds)...but there's no doubt that some of the recent springs like 2010 and 2012 were obscenely early fooling a lot of people into mid-April leaf-outs as more normal than it really is.

CoastalWx Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 As much as today sucks, the 60s over the weekend is just fine. Nobody wants to jump right into summer...the transition times are nice. It's just like in late Sept and October when those first cool days and nights feel pleasant...nobody want to jump into windchills below 0 on Columbus Day weekend.

#NoPoles Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Perhaps someone in his area could make the effort to go over and assist him in getting it online? I don't have a lot of issues with Kevin's readings...I just wish he had it online. He uses every social network out there and has a million dollar yard, but can't get his station online.

CoastalWx Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Did you mean everybody? Figure of speech, but I'm sure you would agree most enjoy the first cool nights as we transition into the cold season. I think most would rather not go from 90-20 in 2 weeks time..even if it were possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Pretty impressive stuff..Going right against Powderfreak's ideas last fall interestingly enough Joe Bastardi @BigJoeBastardi 10m The end of month cold means April finishes below normal in CONUS, the 14th of the past 15 months plain east! pic.twitter.com/8LaWHE4wls What were my thoughts last fall? I honestly don't remember. You mean the discussions about the persistent AN regime we seemed to be in? I'll certainly admit I'm surprised at the tenacity of the below normal months...I think there's something to be said for persistence forecasting, although there are certainly big faults with it too. But when in doubt, lean with persistence. Hopefully we are looking at a cool, enjoyable summer if this stretch continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Pretty much, the dewpoints are the killer. I used to play golf in Austin, Texas every summer for about a month back in college...it would be 98F but dewpoints in the 50s made it tolerable. Even some of those west wind 103F scorchers were not as bad as you'd think because they were almost always quite dry..the Austin version of downslope dandys.Those times where the flow started coming more from the gulf and we got those 96/70 days is when it was horrible.

The summers where I worked outdoors changed my whole attitude about the heat and humidity and it seems like my feelings about it only grow stronger. I know some people enjoy it, but just not for me.

BOS will probably finish right on 0.0 or +0.1F for the month...ending the streak at 5. The other 3 climo sites at BOX will live to see another month...May should be interesting. Going to start off below normal, but there are some hints it tries to change after mid-month. But we've seen that before to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Judging by the Euro, pool uncover cancel next 15 days. What's the deal with people thinking they could swim outdoors in New England prior to June? Even as a kid in nj it was Memorial Day (which was then fixed at 5/31).

powderfreak Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Keep it dry...90/58 aint so bad. 90/70 is disgusting. July 2012 was probably my most favorite summer month in a long time...dry heat, and days and days of sunshine. It averaged +1.1 up here, but featured like 10 mornings with lows in the 40s. The afternoons were 80s and 90s, with nights of 50s and 40s. I like the 91/49 type days or 88/48. Precip was way below normal at 1.3", and spread out pretty evenly throughout the month leading to ample sunny days in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
