Guess where the High Pressure over us today will go.. Yup...
NWS NY says Bermuda High persists.
They say even a dry NW flow today we'll get downsloping from appalacians and that will allow a quick warmup after sun rise.
850mb temps on the rise.
Gradient weakens which allows for sea breeze to move in.

Wind never completely died out. Low of 39°F. Don't think there was any frost. But without the wind, temperatures couldn't have dropped so fast...hard to get cold nights now. Room is rather cool, I left two windows open a crack. Dew point was down to 24°F overnight, cold airmass.
Got down to 47F here, the forecast was 41F, I'm glad it didn't get that low. I could've left the tomatoes/peppers outside, but I didn't want to take any chances, some jalapeños are already forming.
A nice end to May, no 90's but a week of 80's will do..... And a good sign went most days in early June are predicted to be above normal
I'm not sure what the graphic is trying to say below but the Mean for ORD as of the 22nd is 58.6F, while the normal Mean for the month of May is 59.1F. MDW as of the 22nd has a Mean of 61.5F, the 30 year average is 61.1F. Looks like we will see our second above average month in a row here.
Comparison of month-to-date precipitation anomaly between 2014 and 2015
NWS rainfall forecast for the next 7 days. It looks like Oklahoma City is going to get well past it's monthly rainfall record for May. It's currently at 14.46 inches and the previous record was 14.52 inches (2013).
a lousy 19.1C as max temperature in the city this year. coldest max temperature this late in the season since at least 1996. most likely it will also be the latest sub-20C maxima since at least 1996. 2005 had sub-20C maximas up to 26th may.
23z temps. That's 4pm West coast time I believe 3pm for Alaska?
I wonder what the current snowline is on the Brooks Range. Must have gotten a lot of melt.
