not possible, not in the summer time at least. Plus you forget our weather is very variable, patterns change, hard to get a cloudy cool pattern for more than a week.

I wish we kept records! If we make it to 3pm without any sun it will be 168 hours straight here. !


Just checked my webcam which takes a picture every 15 minutes...


Right now its 160 hours straight.


Last time we had a hint of sun was Saturday April 30th at 2:45pm. At 3pm it was the beginning.

It reached 82F at ORD and 83 at MDW in Chicago yesterday (my station was off line for some reason) with a coupe subran spots at 86 degrees. But check out the high in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota







Cooler, wetter weather to follow Friday

Current Jet Stream. Weeeeeeeee


Someone tell that Atlantic High to show up in winter...or summer. Not spring! Blocked and slowed everything up in the U.S. Notice the other little dig now in Ontario? That is going to shove the Upper Low over the Northeast this weekend.

Can you see why Alberta was 90s, shifted east then Winnipeg was 90s, shifted east then Minnesota was 90s,


Ontario/Toronto/NY wont be 90s because of that new Trough/cold front digging down. It squashed the ridge!


Top of the ridge is only in Iowa now. Remember it was poking up in Western Canada 3 days ago? Central Canada 2 days ago

Duluth was one of the hottest cities in the country yesterday. Hotter than Yuma, Arizona in May!

Don't worry, lol. Summer will be arrive on your front doors soon enough. Checked NYC weather forecast, normal max now is just about 70, next week looks more seasonable but still slightly below. Look at it this way, your average high is climbing fast and will reach the mid 70s by the end of the month.

Interestingly enough its like NYC and London switched climates this week, with NYC temps in the 50s and low 60s today, typical of London for early may, and London in the upper 60s and low 70s, more typical of NYC in early may.
