This has been a truly memorable stretch of weather. I would bet, historic. Those days of chasing tumbleweeds on scorched Earth are done for you. For your sanity I'm glad you made the move. For the comedy I'm a little sad. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thru the first 12 days of this month I have set 7 new records, all either new 'cool max' or record overnight lows. 7. That is crazy. Running a -9.3 for the month currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGolfBro Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Today may be the the perfect weather day. Light breeze. Temps heading toward 70 under brilliant sunshine. Of course i consider a HECS a perfect weather day too lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS has highs in the 50s Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Just awful. It's a goddamn disaster. We are going to fully waste most of May when we should be in 70s and low 80s with low humidity on this crap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on a bender from Sunday to Wednesday and by that time it will be warm again. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkelWx Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 While it does look crappy from Sunday thru Wednesday, early summer returns right after. And how crappy the weather is depends on if the Atlantic AOI even forms or not. 0/70 has a high chance of busting. Edit: not "with a vengeance" but overall warm weather just like friday returns after Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be fun to deny reality instead of dealing with the fallout of our situation. I accept that it's cold but where did the heat go? It found it's way to someone else. The amount of heat entering the system never changes. At least not to a measurable degree right now. How much is retained is based on the daily AGI which is only ever increasing because sitting in front of a PC/Phone all day is somehow the gold standard of living a fulfilling life. Back in the day people were eager to die for ideals and dreams. Life is a dream. Make it your canvas. and then you have this Corona-panic garbage. Taking risks and following your ideals should be the motivating force in your life. Living just to stay alive is the methodology of the ant farm.

nj2va Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 12z GFS backing off the ridiculous highs in the low/mid 50s on Sunday. Gets DC into the mid 60s with low 70s in PW County. Hope that keeps up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The 12z runn of the GFS is a lot better for next week. Kicks things out faster and warmer. The Canadian on the other hand, not as much. Next week is still a bit unresolved. But Memorial Day weekend should be much warmer, rain or not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh. Definitely looks now like some form of an eastern trough early next week and (depending on exact location/orientation) potentially some unpleasant weather. Still looks much warmer for the latter part of next week, although that is contingent upon said trough being able to depart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 More good news. While pivotal only shows the 6 hour increments of Euro, the 12z Euro looks to get DC into the low 70s Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blech, I stopped looking when I got to Sunday. Definitely going to enjoy the stretch through Sunday -- hopefully the cutoff doesn't linger too long next week.

CAPE Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 67 but quite warm in the sun. I was sweating just now mowing my lawn. Its moderating.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Mount Holly's thoughts on early next week... By Sunday, high pressure builds offshore of New England, then the front to our south will begin returning northward as an area of low pressure moves out of the Great Lakes and toward the Mid Atlantic. However, the models diverge in how they handle the low. Models differ in how fast they bring the low into the area and how fast the low exits. The GFS brings it in and exits it faster, while the the ECMWF is slower. As the low pressure and associated frontal boundaries affect the area, an extended period of rainfall can be expected. So there will be a chance of rain from at least Sunday, through Monday night, but the chance of rain could last into through Tuesday night.

Are you salivating about the potential of robust blocking in 20-21 winter? Delayed effect and timed also with the favorable QBO . Need an @Isotherm grain of salt to ponder on over the hot summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL blocking is extinct in winter until proven otherwise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
