Wow! Snow? More 30s around that area too.


Where's Nei? I'm at the border again of cool sky conditions. Check out the loop! YUGE spin. #AtlanticBlocking





With temps on... Sunny and 50s in PA. I got full clouds over me but I see blue skies to my East over the Ocean.

Feels very chilly here. Borderline winter coat weather, at least the sun came out

Record cold day... well close enough. Record low max is 54, only 57 so far. Average high is 78 and low 54. Been a decade since we had a single may day not break 60. I don't understand though, why are parts of Illinois under this front just as warm as here. Makes no sense that a cloudy day in NC would be same as cloudy in illinois.

Absolutely beyond insane, only 57 in may... wtf. Extremely below average... 21 degrees so. I can't remember that last time we were even 15 degrees above average in may let alone 21...

Notice this morning how I correctly called a forecast bust..

I mean we had a high of 62 on May 19 last year.

I remember, also extremely below average and late for coldest day of may but not an atypical lowest max of may, pretty typical.

After 4 hours stuck at same temp we budged up to 60. Wooohhhhh. Lol, not abnormal though for coldest day of may.

Look at that ULL rotating to the north east. Wooohhhhh, good bye and good riddance. Rebound to seasonal Temps around 80 tomorrow and day after before relapse into below normal weather for a few days before going above average..... I swear if the rest of the South hits 90 and we don't in the next 10 days...

[muslim12]

Clouds breaking, 62 possible as high... Atlanta blew past its forecast high and 90 looking possible there, earlier than normal meanwhile raleigh well have to have a late first 90 as usual.

81F and sunny here with a 57F dp.

How the **** is atlanta closing in on 90F

May is an interesting month down here. Usually mid-month it's almost like someone flips a switch where it goes from sunny nearly every day to a stormy pattern, which ushers in wet season. It's pretty sudden too.

Is the Florida summer rainfall associated with any kind of monsoon trough? Usually, areas with that dramatic of a switch are those with strong monsoonal regimes (see: India).
