Saguenay is the hottest place in Canada right now at 32°C and 6:30 pm, can't happen often. Normally it's either Ontario or western Canada. NYC reached 20°C with a dewpoint of 19°C (66°F, a few degrees less on Long Island), Quebec City 32°C with a dewpoint of 14°C, both at 5 pm
the strange pattern giving heat up north and cool here. 500 hPa, no low visible over the Northeast but Quebec has a warm airmass. from tropicaltidbits.com
850 hPa show a cool spot, but clouds are making the difference bigger at the surface
definitely not a cut-off low. High pressure is stalling a front over us. Ridge isn't obvious from the surface map

and the clouds from NOAA Goes
I think Alberto dragged a front over and it stalled. Next week it will be from the low.
Been misting and raining here for 4 hrs now. Up to 0.10" today. Over 3" for the month.
Wet roads. Wet shoes. Used wipers every other day on average.
Including today...at Bridgeport..
April 1-May 31
27 days with measurable rain.
Most since 2005.
Only 6 yrs had more. (1950, 2004, 2000, 2005, 1966, 1956)
So basically we havent had this many rainy days for April & May in over 10 yrs. I knew it felt odd.
I was happy with my local weather for Apr and May. Had 4" in Apr and almost 8" in May. now we are gonna see how dry June is gonna be. Last few Junes and Julys have been very dry for me.
Warmest May on modern record in Indianapolis, it looks virtually certain that not only is it going to be the warmest on record, but that the old record warm May in 1896 will be shattered by around 1.5 F, I am predicting a monthly mean temperature of around 72.5 F for the month of May in Indianapolis, which if this comes to fruition, would be closer to the average monthly temperature for the month of June (72.0 F), so this year we essentially skipped May and went straight into summer.
Max temps for the Last day of Spring. See you all in the Summer Thread.
