I hope not. I want to see record breaking heat with several days of 100's and very high dews. I last thing I want is to have May-June really warm and July-Aug so-so.

I would think the same pattern that brought us the cold winter will bring us another summer like last year.   If you want heat, you better hope the Bermuda high backs in ala July 2013.  Otherwise, I think you see a trough in the east allowing cool Canadian air for the bulk of this summer.

Chance of rain nearly everyday on the 18z GFS. That's the nature of Bermuda ridges in early May when the jet is still strong.

other than tomorrow, when does it start showing rain chances increase?  (I'm away from the computer)

Looks like another drier warm downslope day where the models back off rainfall amounts the closer 

that we get get. We'll see how much moisture is left for the showers tomorrow. But this pattern has been

drier than normal since April. The Euro has been doing better than the GFS and NAM which

have been too wet recently.

Amazing...can't buy a raindrop of late. Was hoping to see some boomers today, timing would have been good for max heating.

Looks like we might get wet next week...we definitely need it.

Always a week away....let's get a threat to within 4-5 days and not see models dry it up as we get closer. case in point is today

Next week looks like a better set up with a back door enhancement and front coming through.

Great setup next week for some prolonged wet weather. That's our tropical system still meandering near the Carolina coast.

Good luck with that same refrain

If we don't get some rain soon we're going to be in a real bad drought situation come July/August.

Already 74 here.  Once these clouds get out of the way, it's off to the races

 

Big jump last  hour at Newark from 73 to 78 on the warmer downslope flow that is easily beating guidance again.

11 am update is 80 now.

People say that every year and everything ends up okay. This isn't California.

Well we had a wet Winter so it's going to take a long, extended dry streak to put us into a drought, but this is normally the wet time of year and in another few weeks stratiform rain is going to become rare.

 

Eventually this dry streak is going to end and we're going to pay the piper big time. Everything balances out in the end.
