Had 73/30 yesterday. This morning's low of 37 ends a six-day run of sub-freezing minima. Forecast contrast not often seen: Maine foothills, sunny and 85. Inland SNJ, sunny and 69. Only in late spring NNE. IZG got up to 85, and Montreal hit 90. It's currently 80 here around 2pm so those may eclipse the Phoenix area today.

My father decided we needed to dig a well-many people were dong that. By the time we reached ground water the drought had broken....lol. IIRC, the reservoirs supplying NYC were under 20% and aurhorities were talking weeks remaining, not months. Driest 5 years in NYC: 1963 34.29" (Only a 4.25" storm in November, then that month's biggest RA event on record, prevented a new #1 at that time.) 1935 33.84" 1910 33.72" 1964 32.99" 1965 26.10" (How many SDs below 1964? Below average?) Thru August, '65 had recorded 19.05" and '66 had 19.80", looking like a new #2 and maybe catching the year before. 1966 set new Central Park records for both the driest and hottest met summer, so that year might've created more stress on water supply than 1965. (2010 took away the heat record.) One oddity for the 1960s drought is that it ended in a single day, though no one knew it at the time. The drought area had a nice RA event on 9/13-14 - 2.18" for NYC, but 63-65 had also featured 2" storms. On 9/21/66, NYC had 5.54", my NNJ home a similar amount and the overall region had a good drenching. From then on, precip ran average to AN for years and the reservoirs were refilled.

Yeah 1500ft at like SLK, across VT to your area in NNH all sporting 85-87F type temps today. The lack of green certainly plays a roll in these early dry heaters up north. It’s starting to come on fast though. Looks like 88-90F below 1,000ft too. Watching the snow melt on these warm evenings. Stick season hillsides getting blasted by mid/upper 80s.

I think the MCD for the watch explained it - here... so I guess that's where the number came from - https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0739.html Mesoscale Discussion 0739 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0449 PM CDT Thu May 12 2022 Areas affected...Southeast South Dakota...far southwest Minnesota...and northwest Iowa Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 208... Valid 122149Z - 122230Z CORRECTED FOR TYPO "MONTANA" INSTEAD OF "MINNESOTA" The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 208 continues. SUMMARY...A very intense squall line will bring likely hurricane force winds across portions of southeast South Dakota into southwest Minnesota this evening. DISCUSSION...A well developed squall line has developed across Nebraska and has already produced multiple wind gusts in the 70 to 90 mph range over the past 1 to 2 hours. This line is moving over 60 knots and is moving into an increasingly favorable environment for severe wind gusts with MLCAPE of 3000 to 4000 J/kg, DCAPE of 1400 J/kg, and effective shear around 50 knots. All signs point toward a swath of high end wind damage across southeast South Dakota and possibly into southwest Minnesota. Widespread velocities of 90 to 100 knots are being sampled around 4000 feet across Yankton and Bon Homme counties as of 4:30 PM. This is the same region where several consecutive runs of the WoFS have shown a swath with ensemble maximum surface winds of 90 to 100 knots. Therefore, widespread 75+ mph winds are likely with some wind gusts approaching 100 mph possible. ..Bentley.. 05/12/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Saguaro Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 High ended up being 84 here in the Phoenix area today. IZG/Fryeburg hit 85. Not often that happens.

When summer mode takes over and the perennial shift lifts out the polar jet I don’t get the feeling we’re oscillating this time. May end up dull with towering heights.
