48/42/RN-

Pretty uncomfortable out there.

[bluewave]

Heavier showers  filling in more quickly just west of NYC than the models indicated yesterday. Impressive cold pool aloft with very steep mid-level lapse rates. So any stronger cells could produce some pea sized hail.

Another shit spring, here we go again. No wonder people are moving south, life is too short to remain trapped indoors

Huh? March & April have both been AN temperature wise and BN precip wise. May could follow if the 2nd half really heats up.

We'll be in the 70s by midweek and we'll have some 80s next week. 

I guess if you wanted 80F+ and sunny every day since March then sure move to Florida.

The other day I was thinking to myself if all Springs really sucked here or are we just in a bad stretch.

I’ve begun to hate Spring as much as Winter.

[Rtd208]

Light to moderate rain falling here.

Temp 49

The next 7 to 10 days should be the last of the much below normal temps.

It should steadily warm up after that, as it tends to every year.

We are almost there

If we can keep these record 700-500 mb lapse rates going into the summer, then it will be the case.

I hope so. I love when we get those several day stretches when we have afternoon and evening thunderstorms everyday in a warm and humid pattern. 

[donsutherland1]

The sun is currently out in southern Westchester County.

Trust me, we'll be happy in 2 months while they're frying. Summer in the south absolutely sucks.

This shows the same event I guess:

To each their own but I wouldn't call consistent highs in the 60s to be "trapped indoors" weather and a shitty spring. It's not like it's been raining much like previous springs.

Not gonna lie though, those few days when we topped 80 felt really nice.

[TriPol]

I miss the Springs where it was the 70s and 80s most of the time. We could use a little global warming up here.

[Rtd208]

Picked up 0.40" of rain so far today.

Current temp 52

[wdrag]

Wantage 0.32 since 6A...  (.01 6A-7A), then the bulk from  ~930A onward.  EC was steady on this and some of the NAM/ SPC HREF/GGEM had it too but not much after 2P and variable inconsistency, so much so that I was getting depressed about not having significant rain today after seeing some of the 12z and 18z/7 guidance.   Turns out that guidance available leading up to 20z/Wed May 5 and resultant cancel decisionfor an important outdoor project today,  worked out. Was sweating it last night.

mPing showing many hail reports  NNJ-PA/MD after 230PM.

[bluewave]

A waterspout to go with the hail today.

Trash weather.  49 and drizzle in May.  Still waiting for constant 70s and sun

[SI Mailman]

Round 2 of rain moving through now.

[nycwinter]

The green out there has nothing to do with food (or environmentally wise aspects), it's lawns, non native landscaping and golf courses.

No I'm talking about greenery on top of buildings and the community gardens and urban farming are actually places in Queens and the Bronx where people are growing their own food to get away from the processed crap that passes for "food" these days.

Thanks to things like this, people never have to eat diabetes and obesity causing crap anymore.
