Although it's not going for heat this time. Looks like the heat will be suppressed at this rate. The hottest part of the summer seems to be in August and September, according to the CANSIPS. EDIT: Looks to me that the more recent CANSIPS is slightly warmer for most of the US. Looks like an inferno for the SW US this summer, with the Death Ridge poking into the SE US from time to time. This was not the case from last month's CANSIPS run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run from early April had us with above normal temperatures and rainfall for the summer. But the WAR wasn’t as amped up as we saw last summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 With the forecast storm track shifting somewhat to the north, likely precipitation amounts tonight through tomorrow have increased across the northern Mid-Atlantic region. It now appears that the region will receive a general 1.00"-2.00" rain with some locally higher amounts. Both the 18z NAM and 18z RGEM are particularly aggressive with the forecast precipitation amounts. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.9°C for the week centered around April 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.05°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.93°C. Conditions consistent with El Niño appear likely to persist through May in Region 3.4. The SOI was +0.48 today. Today's preliminary value of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.584. MJO data for May 3 was unavailable. Since 1974, there were four cases when the MJO reached an amplitude of 1.750 or above during Phase 2 during the April 20-30 period. The mean May 1-10 temperature was 58.8° vs. the 1981-2018 average of 60.2°. 75% of those cases were cooler than the 1981-2018 average. However, during May cases when the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.50°C or above for the month, the May 1-10 temperature averaged 60.8°. Therefore, it is likely that the first 10 days of May will probably wind up with a mean temperature of 59.2°-61.2°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few years have gone from winter, to socked-in, to summer. Of course, this year it's "winter", to socked-in to probably summer when the -NAO/marine layer crap finally breaks.

bluewave Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 This may turn out to be the most active warm front-backdoor pattern we have seen in May. Euro and GFS keep the frontal boundary near the region until further notice. So we head into an early week chance of 70’s before the another showery and cooler backdoor arrives right after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinRP37 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 People always laugh but instead of being a snow bird, I would love to be a soggy bird. Meaning I would love to escape to the desert southwest from mid-March to early June. I just hate these prolonged grey, wet patterns. I don't see any let up with this pattern for awhile. I am hoping that around mid-month we can break free from it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Day 16 of measurable precipitation, 5.68” of rain so far. Could be a whole lot higher, but ultimately it isn’t the amount of rain that’s annoying (we’ve gotten more than 2x that in 3 hours), it’s the duration and lack of sunshine, it’s agonizing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
