EPS wasn't really on board with the op, so we'll see.

If you look at the individual members, it is a couple of really cold members sinking the mean. Most are at normal and some above normal. Kind of like a SREF run for snow that goes 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 12 21. :lol:

My high overachieved for the 2nd time with 30ºC feeling like 35C early on. Yesterday was also the same and the first 30ºC reading of the year...about on schedule. This pattern I've noticed with the PMX engine values from The Weather Network is still 90% of the time true: take stock of what its showing 2 or 3 days before a given day but ignore the temp and condition 1 day before or the morning of IF its different by >2ºC either way from Days 2 or 3 before. It was showing 29ºC for both the last few days and then changed 1 day before to 26ºC and some condition that wasn't on point. No storms at all or rain. It was very windy in the early afternoon and early evening...dust clouds were being thrown up and pollen spores spread.

These borderline cooler conditions that I hope ends up being just average climo wise, needs to pack it in because the best month of the year is now 12 days away.

We had a couple of warned storms in the area last night, but the only real issue was a thin stripe of heavy rain across the northern part of our county. Only 0.11" here in town, but reports approaching 4" just north of here.

impressive total.. 

Mosquito's in the MW are going to be thick as a GHD Sleet storm this summer   What a difference a yr makes.  Last summer - Zero Mosquito's and only cut the grass a handful of times after late spring.  Cutting the grass every 3 days now. 

We drought last yr.

Yeah they will really be looking to latch on until it warms back up.   What's it look like next weekend?

 

To bad they can't move the Cub/Crew series to miller park today and tomorrow.

 

42 at noon.   I liked it better when I was the rare warmest a few days back.

We swim in July.

Train wreck extended  outside sun/mon

Aside from the past week, this whole month has been a train wreck.

 

Definitely paying dearly for April and the pasf few Mays that have been extremely warm.

Struggling to get out of the mid 40s with some rain.  I've seen worse at this time of year but this ranks up there. 

Yuck. I thought that I had it bad here at 58.

The wife just got back from Central Indiana, crossing the warm front. She said it went from swamp-a$$ air there to feeling chilly here. I"m looking forward to seeing if we can get anything to spin up along that front tomorrow.

I can't imagine it getting much worse than today at this time of yr.  Maybe May of 2002 in my memory.  Brutal fishing in Mid-may.

High of 44 today at midnight.   WC  below 35.

That's exactly what I had in mind.  Went back and checked... May 17, 2002 had the bulk of the day between 41-43 degrees around here.

Just went and looked back on 2002.  Dam that sure was a Ugly week up-north...

 

4 days in a row of highs in the 40's in Milwaukee starting the 17th like you mentioned.  44, 46, 48 and 44 on  May 20th   Then we torched - lots of 90's in June.

 

What did you have in May of 92?    I graduated that May.   I remember it being cool.    44 on the 24th and 46 the day after. 

 

This is def one of the top if not the ****tiest wx day alive on this date - or any time in may after the first week for that matter  And I'm pretty old.

Pretty similar.  Just a few degrees warmer. 92 was screwed up after Pinatubo erupted.

The entire "warm season" of '92 was an unmitigated disaster.

Only 2009 has come the closest to being as bad.

At least it does look to warm back up in time for Memorial Day.

In fact, the 12z GFS really puts the kibosh on the extent of the cold snap this week. 

06z GFS did too, it is really down to about 3 days of cool weather at most. Like I suspected would happen, you don't get an upper low to lock in for 10 days in a progressive pattern. That is a pipe dream for those who want miserable cold weather.
