And low 80s in NC. Today our high is 62, probably close to the record min high for today. This is rare to have in may. Week long of -10 and up departures. Next week looks like a sack of **** hardly makes up for this week, highs ranging from mid 80s to near 90. Positive no.anomalies of +5 to +8 hardly anything compared to this week.

Frosty 20s in the North Woods while drenching downpours soak Texas & Florida; 12

I'm tipping that heatwave to not happen, just to see everyone's reactions. Also long live Perth being hotter than the eastern seaboard in May!!! That's the real reason why

Crazy. Last time Raleigh had a 10+ above normal max temp was May 2nd. Hit 87 that day.


Believe it or not upper 50s is the extreme low max temp there this time of year and number of days below 70 is nothing to write home about this year.

You have to hear and see my twitter feed which is mostly from meteorologists in the East.. It's pretty much the same tone. We got clouds again this morning. WTF!


Steve D: "At this point any day sunny with near normal temps will be considered hot. lol"

NYC ...






Washington DC as well... 12 days left to record, currently 3rd coldest May on record. Last years was warmest.

Its absurd, crazy negative departures for this long only happen in winter mostly, now in may! I figured our coldest max temps would be in the upper 50s, so we are close today.

This warm up for the last 10 days or so fo May may not be enough to turn the negative anomalies around...

I was gonna say "what warm up"? Oh, for you, you mean? Has to be cause the East hasn't had any warmup other than 1 or 2 days here and there. lol

2 Maps...


Early Next week. Here we go again with another Upper Low. If that wasn't around we would be seeing widespread 80s at least.





Do you guys remember May 19-21, 1996?





Take a look at both maps. Notice anything similar? Jet stream farther north in Canada which is normal this time of year.


2 differences using the same week..


1. we have this cold pocket aloft this year which is not allowing the surface to achieve 80s.


2. The mid level temps were much warmer in 1996 which pushed Northeast and with sun 90s came about .

Back to gloominess today. Tommorrow should be a break
