bluewave Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Impressive start to the month for NYC with 5 out of the first 8 days of May reaching 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thats rather chilly for that time of year. That would suck While I certainly wouldn't want to see it that cool for the unoficial start to summer either, keep in mind the time stamp on that map is 0Z, so 8PM.

dmillz25 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 We'll still see 70F so I don't see the big deal. We're currently at +5 to +7 for the month, I would welcome some seasonable temps. The dry/early heat combo isn't good for us. Yeah it needs to rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yeah i didn't see that. But still for that hour its a bit cool Almost looks like a back door setup with a lot of warmth in Western PA/OH. The good news is that it's probably wrong at this point, but fun to look at. Maybe it will have rained by then? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The strong ridge is really dominating our pattern. It continues into early next week with a brief relaxation WED-FRI only to return again by next weekend and beyond. That NW downslope flow WED-FRI may come with some very low humidity to really dry things out further. Maybe another red flag potential few days.

Brian5671 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The strong ridge is really dominating our pattern. It continues into early next week with a brief relaxation later in the week before a strong reload which carries through until day 15 on the ensembles. Wow if that verifies we're looking at a possible TOP 5 warmest May and may a run for one of the driest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Nothing extreme is ever very good in any direction because the pattern usually ends up doing a complete reversal at some point. So a warm, dry Spring and or early Summer could end up becoming a wet, cool second half of Summer, Fall, and then drier Winter. Of course it's impossible to predict when these sort of things are going to happen, but overall nature likes to be balanced. You could argue that this is simply making up for the excessive wet stretch that we had from 2009-2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
