Stormchaserchuck1 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 With temperatures now expected to get into the upper 80s tomorrow, that will make 5 straight days with 80+ high temperatures, with no major index pattern present (+nao, +epo, etc..) - pretty impressive. I think we are headed for a hotter Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re due for a swampy summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 It's not even that anything really special is happening.. The way we are easily beating these records since that 80* in January is pretty amazing. I think we on a macro-level are entering a time with less cloud cover, so maybe that's contributing, or will contribute in the future.. there was a time in February this year where we went 24/28 days with no clouds.

Has barely grown any since... No rain in 3 .5 weeks and these summer temps is really starting the drought going again... And there is no doubt the drought has returned , less than 6 inches here since late January... Really really do need this weekend to come through in the Valley... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 62 to start day - stubbornly managed to avoid putting in the window units and running AC this last week - so looks like I can make it a few more weeks with a lower bge bill before summer AC surge kicks in. Win. will be glad for a few days of rain although timing on weekends remains a bit of a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a gift. Our base state has generally been cloudy, though looks like we might get back into the warm side once the front lifts north again early next week. Hopefully, that leads to partly sunny and better storm chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This blurb from LWX sure sounds like next week could be stormy From Tuesday through the remainder of the long term period, the forecast area will be in the warm sector allowing for an increasing threat for strong to severe thunderstorms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Rainfall generally looks pretty meager here across guidance through the weekend. I'll probably do a significant watering tomorrow morning in anticipation. Soil is super dry now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
