"Realfeel" irks me just about as much as "95 corridor". Both terms make my right frontal lobe ache... Just stepped out, 44F...still breezy (10 - 15mph-ish) and crisp. Feels like Fall. I better enjoy this now before we get torched... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafood, solid winters, less cluster-f**k and all around comfortable temps year round.

Underperforming all day everyday the new norm. Saw that and it royally pissed me off. I'm beginning to think this is going to be the year without a summer. By now, I've run my a/c at least a couple times, and have the windows open nearly every day. This year, no a/c and the windows have been opened 5 times if lucky. On a personal level, I've never been so white (no suntan) this late in the year. Only one day was warm enough (for me) to be out in just a short sleave shirt, and as for shorts...fuhgettaboutit...

JTA66 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Glancing at today's Euro, unlike this past winter, it looks like troughs want to keep dumping into Japan. If correct, I guess any warm up won't have staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0231 AM CDT Wed May 13 2020 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHERN PLAINS/OZARK PLATEAU... ...SUMMARY... Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Northeast States as well as the southern Plains and Ozark Plateau Friday. ...Northeast... A northern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly eastward from its position early Friday over Upper Great Lakes through the Northeast States. Surface low associated with this system will likely begin the period over southwestern Ontario before then moving quickly eastward across NY. Cold front attendant to this low will move eastward through the Upper OH Valley and NY/northern Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures and dewpoints ahead of this front are forecast to reach the mid 70s and upper 50s/low 60s, respectively, resulting in a modest instability. Consequently, thunderstorm development is anticipated along the front during the afternoon. Strong mid-level flow will support fast-moving bowing line segments capable of damaging wind gusts. Isolated hail and a brief tornado are also possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 I think I've hit my high today of 65 after a chilly low of 39 earlier this morning. Had clear blue skies much of the day and now seeing some scattered cumulus this late afternoon. Currently 64 and mostly sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 ...Northeast States... A northern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to progress quickly eastward/southeastward across the Great Lakes into the Northeast States on Friday. Strong mid-level flow attendant to this system will spread eastward just ahead of it while an associated surface low and cold front also move across the Northeast. Temperatures and dewpoints ahead of this front are forecast to reach the mid 70s and upper 50s/low 60s, respectively, resulting in modest instability. Thunderstorm development is anticipated during the afternoon as the front interacts with this instability. Low to mid-level flow will strengthen over the region as the shortwave trough approaches, contributing to both moderate vertical shear and fast storm motions. Fast-moving bowing line segments, which may eventually amalgamate into a coherent convective line, will be the predominant storm mode. Damaging wind gusts from these bowing segments will be the primary severe hazard, although some isolated hail may occur, particularly with any more cellular/discrete storms. Additionally, moderate veering of the low-level wind profiles will support a low-probably tornado potential with both discrete development ahead of the line and line-embedded circulations.

On top of the potential of snow in the air on Friday and Saturday in May - an extremely rare event in the climate change era....or heck any era climate change or not! We are well on the way to the latest 80+ degree reading in at least the last 38 years here in Chester County. Already through today this is the 5th latest 80+ degree reading so late into May. In looking at the longer range models it looks increasingly possible that we will set a record for the latest 80+ day in County history. Below are the latest such readings #1 - 5/22/1988 / #2 - 5/20/1984 / #3 - 5/19/1997 - 5/19/1992 - 5/19/2019 / #4 - 5/10/1987 - #5 - TBD here in 2020 Not taking anything away from the cool start to this month, and I don't know what the high will be there tomorrow, but 2020 might have to settle for 4th place? If you can get past tomorrow, you've got a shot at May 22nd... Interesting that just last year is tied for 3rd place at May 19th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Well, any chance of TStorms tomorrow are quickly going down the tube. Nothing more than some showers if that? Looking ahead, 50s next Tues or Wed...or both? 66F/Overcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
