This nice cool month will ensure we get a nice cooler by the lake start to summer :wub:    Hell its almost June even the garbage days are decent.   Nobody nailed this month and if you say you did  - lol.

Ups and downs will continue as long as we keep the low train going and its been going here since last fall and for once have a little surplus of moisture

Picked up 0.68" from this morning's rains.  Up to 3.33" for the month.

It's been a cool day with the heavy clouds/east winds/constant drizzle.  Temps are starting to rise now as the warm front is approaching.  57 now, and have a legit shot at breaking 70 in a few hours when the sun emerges.  May even be a few decent storms around later.

EDIT:  Parts of central Nebraska have been dealing with snow today.  A few inches fell near Mullen.

The miserable cold much of the day is now history.  Temp/dew has jumped up to 65/62, and the sun is out.  Substantial difference in how the air feels compared to the upper 40s/low 50s with the cold rain/drizzle.

Yeah, air has a little bit of a heavy feel to it.  Temp is in the upper 60s here.

Yeah, it feels much better than earlier.  This morning it was mid 40s, rain, and windy.  Now, it's 60, dry, and light wind.

^Nice.  Yeah it's up to 68/63 here now.  Hardly a cloud in the sky.  Had to shoot a time lapse of the warm frontal passage.  Probably won't be that interesting though.

There are a few of us that like watching clouds in motion. Just FYI.

Remember when it was going to be below normal the rest of the month...

Conditions look more unsettled during the Tue-Wed periods, as the
closed low fractures with a sizable piece of this energy then
digging southeast into the region.  Reasonable model consensus in
the pattern evolution, but with differences in timing/details yet to
resolve.  A general increase in cva should lead to periodic showers,
with some renewed moisture advection and increasing mid level lapse
rates also yielding weak instability and the possibility of embedded
thunder /particularly Tuesday/.  Temperature trends remain somewhat
flat, with any advective process largely holding neutral.  This will
retain a temperature profile is simply defined as seasonable for
late May.

:lmao: and by Thursday and especially into Friday temps climb back above normal.

I guess the question is what's going to win out over the next 10 days.  I'm still not sure it won't average below normal for most areas, even with some above average days thrown in.

I see 3 days that will be below average in Tues-Thurs, maybe 4 if Friday starts out cold. Even then Thursday and especially Friday will be in the 70s for most.

This is the third straight day with significant time spent in the 40s.  The avg high temp is in the 70s.  Even moderately below avg weather would be a huge improvement.

Dang, that would be rough on the spirit, as well as the tomatoes.

Cool and breezy day with lots of clouds.  Temps haven't made it out of the low 50s.  On the plus side it's sort of nice that the wind is taking care of the bug problem.  No mosquitoes or gnats today lol.

I haven't seen any mosquitoes or gnats yet this year.

Picked up 0.12" from some passing showers today.  Other than the rain it was a decent day, albeit kind of cloudy.

Some cold-air funnels have been spotted around the area this afternoon.
