55 degrees here this morning, looking forward to temperatures hitting the 70s here this afternoon, hopefully.

The 80°+temperatures will be able to push  further east today on more of a SW flow. Looks like the back and forth pattern of the spring will continue a while longer. Storm system for early next week could hug the coast. There is a chance that the higher elevations of the interior could see some wet snow. The models are hinting at a warm up for the last week of April. We’ll have to wait and see if this just means 60s and 70s or we can rival the 80° warmth of this week in the warmer spots. 
 

Today will be warmest day for a while

Coastal hugger early next week with possible high elevation snow 

Next warm up moving east for last week of April

At Billings, the temperature had fallen to 8 degrees. That surpassed the old daily mark of 9 set in 1986 and is the coldest on record so late in the season. Records go back to 1934.

Good morning Don. Hearing birds chirping through my open kitchen window, as my sunny postage stamp begins the climb to the low 80’s, I wonder what thoughts are going through a person looking through a similar window in Billings. The atmosphere will seek balance regardless of the consequences. What echos back to me are simple words often used and heard but seemingly difficult to learn …..”We Reap What We Sow” stay well, as always ….

Well the last week of May looks like this on the GEFSext.         SE/NW Atlantic ridges will surely have firepower to pump themselves up........but this LR model at least has a stalemate till Week 2/3 sometime in May:

Temp already up to 75 here.

The average high during the last week of April is in the upper 60s. So we usually find a way to at least make the 70s on the warmest days. But the SE Ridge will be dueling with the -AO block. This means that we will have competing highs to our north and south with a backdoor front nearby. It will be interesting  to see if we can sneak in our next 80° then or the high to the north caps the maxes in the 60s and 70s.

CoCoRaHS map this morning reports 13.0" of snowfall there this week, Red Lodge, MT to their SW reporting 20.1" for the week.  Two of the higher reports out of North Dakota for the week at this early hour is 19.0" in Bismarck and 19.2" near Grand Forks, more reports could come in later this morning. With all that wind though, who knows for sure.  Impressive.

Too warm when it's not summer. I'll take tomorrow's weather over today. 

Hopefully we get some storms out of it though.

The drive from yellowstone to red lodge was probably only 2nd to Going To The Sun Road on my favorite drives of all time. Being up there for a spring storm has to be unreal.

In lower Manhattan now and it sure feels like 80. Home thermometer is 68, a little east of the Bx Zoo. Spring is the only time Central Park can regularly be a NYC hot spot..and probably parts of SI too.

[jm1220]

77 here-summer like. Stuck at 57 just a few miles away on the Sound and also at Captree. 

[LoboLeader1]

73 here as of 12:30

comfortable dew point..

78 in nw Suffolk. My god what a day

78 on my Kestrel in Plainview (LI).

Lots of local variability with temperatures in the metro area this afternoon. LGA remains in the low 60's on a NE flow off the Sound as of the noon hour observation. Mesonet station in central Queens in the 70's to near 80, while the South shore of Queens and JFK in the 60's on a southerly flow off the Atlantic. There will probably be late day high temperatures for those affected by wind off the water, LI Sound/Atlantic, ahead of the frontal boundary as we thoroughly mix the low levels to max; may be one of those scenarios where outflow boundaries ahead of convection spike temperatures briefly ahead of the front this evening.
