The big story for the Euro and EPS is that there is enough blocking for the rest of

May to prevent the WAR from building strongly. So the coming warm up will

likely be too weak to allow a 90 degree reading at Newark. The only other

year since 2010 that Newark couldn't reach 90 in May was 2014. Whether

this is a preview of the coming summer in  regard to the amount of major heat

reamins to bee seen.

 

Newark May high and number of summer 95 degree or warmer days. 8 days is the 30 year average

 

2015...91.....8

2014...88.....2

2013...94.....10

2012...92.....17

2011...92.....16

2010...95.....21

The depth of the cold and cloudy weather has surprised many.  It's been a garbage fest since 4/2 really.   We're so used to being above normal.  The odd thing is, despite all the murk, we're on track for the driest spring

We typically haven't seen such a dramatic reversal to cooler in spring after a top ten warmest March.

So this highly amplified 500 mb regime renders past analogs less useful since they were in a era

with less blocking at both high and midlatitudes. It has also forced the storm track further south and

east resulting in the dry pattern here.

Only models showing a hit now are the regular NAM (4K NAM south) and CMC-that tells you all you need to know.

 

NYC is going to finish very close to the top of the driest springs list. The only question now is if it

can get another .5 to avoid the number 1 spot. NYC currently has 4.55 and the record is 4.95 set in 1885.

Currently 5.70" here for spring...driest since 1981 is 6.47" set in 1995.
