Lexington KY received six inches of snow. (The Weather Channel) 1916 - A tornado struck the town of Codell, KS. A tornado struck the town on the same day the following year (1917), and a third tornado hit Cordell on May 20th in 1918. (The Weather Channel) 1957 - A tornado touched down to the southwest of Kansas City and traveled a distance of seventy-one miles cutting a swath of near total destruction through the southeastern suburbs of Ruskin Heights and Hickman Mills. The tornado claimed the lives of forty-five persons, and left hundreds homeless. It was the worst weather disaster of record for Kansas City. About all that remained of one house was a small table and a fish bowl atop, with the fish still swimming about inside the bowl, rather unconcerned. (The Kansas City Weather Almanac) 1987 - Thunderstorms in southern Texas produced grapefruit size hail, near the town of Dilley ("by dilly"), and produced wind gusts to 73 mph at Lake Amistad. The large hail broke windows, killed small animals, and damaged watermelon. Thunderstorms developing along a warm front produced severe weather from Indiana to the Dakotas. Thunderstorms produced baseball size hail at Denver IA, and wind gusts to 80 mph in southern Henry County IL. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms in the south central U.S. produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Omaha, NE, and wind gusts to 80 mph at Midland and Dallas, TX. Temperatures in California soared into the 90s and above 100 degrees. San Jose CA reported a record high of 97 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Pre-dawn thunderstorms produced large hail in eastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas. Later in the morning thunderstorms in North Carolina produced dime size hail at Hanging Dog. Thunderstorms also produced severe weather from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the Central Plains Region later that day and night, with baseball size hail reported around Lawn, Novice and Eola TX. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather across the southeastern quarter of the nation through the day and night. Severe thunderstorms spawned six tornadoes, including one which injured two persons at Algoma, MS, and another which injured nine persons at Rogersville, MO. There were 119 reports of large hail or damaging winds. Thunderstorms produced baseball size hail at Houston MO and damaging winds which killed one person at Toccoa GA. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) This is very rare! all record highs and record lows from the same year on the same date! 2002 was such a warm winter and hot spring and hot summer, how did it get so cold so late? Was this the peak of the cold in May that year?

Nice that we have some interesting weather to look forward to this week after all the boring east wind weather we've had this month. looks like the big memorial day weekend rainstorm is now gone?

Right now the models are showing it dry Saturday and Sunday, but Monday is questionable. Rain could move in during the day or it could hold off until later at night. Would be nice if the whole holiday weekend is dry, even though it will be cooler with east winds. Of course it's still early, so I wouldn't have a lot of confidence in the holiday weekend forecast yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyWx Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 3 hours ago, MANDA said: Yes, another 31 days but the gain of daylight is subtle each day now. Only 15 minutes more of evening daylight gain before we reach latest sunset. We've almost dug out the hole and it will be time to start filling it back in again...so to speak. We got a long way to go. The increase might be subtle approaching the solstice, but so is the decrease following. So nice having time to actually enjoy the day and not get home to pitch black darkness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The continuing Hudson Bay block did a good job this month keeping the record subtropical ridge and heat from Central America to Florida from expanding northward. So we are getting a back and forth between warm ups and cool downs but no record heat. Also one of the few times such a strong -PNA occurred with a mean trough near the East Coast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 A warming trend is underway. The warmth will crest with temperatures peaking in the lower and perhaps middle 80s during the middle of the week. Beyond that, temperatures will generally remain near or somewhat above normal through the remainder of May. The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.2°C for the week centered around May 15. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.25°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.57°C. Neutral conditions are imminent. The SOI was +9.44 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.188 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 78% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 64.4° (1.2° above normal). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 1 hour ago, uofmiami said: Time to move to Canada! Only due to persistent onshore flow did we miss out on a significantly warmer than normal May. It was pretty much all around us with the exception of New England, SENY and NJ. More of the over the top warmth we have seen so much of in recent years. Even so it looks like we will finish May at 1-2 degrees above normal against the warmest 30 year normals on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
