Buffalo Bumble Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Mostly ice pellets now here (Chaumont). Sticking to my sweatshirt. One to add to weather folklore I guess... “You think this this Memorial Day weekend is bad, I remember one MD weekend where I had ice pellets piling up on my sweatshirt with a windchill in the 20’s...”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Days like today remind you that you still live pretty far north, despite global warming. You can get ice pellets when its nearly June and you can get them in September. Only 3 months where that isn't possible. In the high peaks of the Adirondacks you can get snow in any month. There is still snow up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 A well known poster over on New England forums passed away from covid at 32 years old, pretty tragic. His mom is still in hospital with it on ventilator. He used to message me on PM about lake effect snow all the time. RIP James. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 We had a couple week dry spell but thanks to the beginning (and now the end)of the month , we aren't far from where we should be.. Average is 3.93" according to NOAA, I have a little over 3.5" on the month as of now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 To start out the day Sunday, the center of the now closed upper low will linger overhead. It finally begins to lift eastward across New England as core of upper jet lifts ahead of the trough in the afternoon, with heights starting to slowly rise over much of the area. Deterministic and ensemble guidance is trending towards an even slower departure of the pesky upper low as it takes on a more negative tilt and becomes more of an open wave. The slower progression of the low will allow some extra wrap-around moisture to advect into the area, and with additional PVA from the low, a slightly more pessimistic precipitation forecast is in store for eastern portions of the area Sunday. Though it won`t be a washout, given these latest trends, have increased PoPs some mainly west of Rochester from the Finger Lakes region up through the North Country for Sunday afternoon and the first half of Sunday night. In regards to temperatures, Sunday will see a continuation of the warming trend from Saturday. However, stubborn cloud cover and a northeast wind flowing across Lake Ontario will still result in only highs in the low to mid 60s, with mid/upper 50s for further inland locations. Lows will bottom out in the 40s Sunday night... A little extra cloud cover east of Lake Ontario should prevent temps from dropping further into the upper 30s overnight. Thankfully, Monday is still shaping up to be the best day of the 3 day holiday weekend. Upper level ridging and surface high pressure will keep conditions dry, with partly to mostly sunny skies and a weaker gradient wind out of the W/SW expected. The warming trend will continue for Memorial Day with highs in the upper 60s and low 70s, which are still a few degrees below normal but a welcomed improvement from the previous few days. Weak lake breezes will keep immediate lakeshores cooler. Monday night should remain dry, but an approaching shortwave will slightly increase rain chances in the second half of the night. Overnight lows will be in the mid 50s to upper 40s, slightly cooler up on the Tug Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
