People really need to pick up some history books.

The downfall of reading "breaking news" articles is that they change them constantly. I did read that yesterday but it's gone now, as is the video of cars driving on a flooded I95.

I remember 2016 - that was supposed to be once in a lifetime and they say this one is worse. Hard to believe that much devastation so close to us.

Check out the swings on the max temp departures since May 13th..

12 below normal
12 above normal
15 below normal
12 above normal

Yesterday struggled past 50s but the max came after midnight so figure it was at least 10 below normal during the day.





And here we are again today 10+ below normal. Crazy.. 50s at lunchtime. Doesn't look like the clouds are leaving either.






Sun = Well above normal
Clouds = Well below normal.

Alrighty then. lol

Been the trend since Early May with these stalled fronts! Stratus clouds suck

National Weather Service New York NY
1011 AM EDT Mon May 28 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A stationary front will remain to the south today, returning as a
warm front tonight.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Forecast on track, with main forecast challenge being how
quickly stratus will erode late this morning through afternoon
from NW to SE.

GFS indicating more in the way of sunshine, deeper mixing, and
warmer temps, while NAM is less optimistic. Both model can have
their respective biases, so have continued with a model blend
for cigs and temps. Highs in the mid/upper 60s for Long Island
and coastal SE CT, lower 70s for most of the rest of the area,
and at least mid to upper 70s for NE NJ and the Hudson Valley.
If earlier clearing materializes, temps in the lower 80s for
most places north/west of NYC looks reasonable, and a few
degrees warmer for city/coast.

There is a moderate risk of rip current development at the ocean
beaches today with 2 to 3 ft e and s swells.

Yesterday was another top 10 day..brilliant. Today? Bottom 10.

[Cambium]

Clouds and Fog burned off at 10am. But man it spiked to upper 70s fast with the sun. lol. Don't care. Give me few hours of sun please!

Discussion from 7am. Check out all the fronts happening this week and then what happens end of the weekend into next week?

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
707 AM EDT Tue May 29 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A backdoor frontal passage this evening will allow high
pressure to build in on Wednesday. A warm front approaches from
the south late Wednesday night, passing north of the region
late Thursday into Friday. A cold front then passes through the
region Friday night. The cold front becomes stationary south of
the area Saturday and remains into the beginning of next week.


Forecast on track with just a few minor adjustments to reflect
latest observations. Otherwise, a cold front over Quebec will
reach the cwa this afternoon. It will be shallow, and slowed by
opposing sea breeze flow across the area. As a result, the
front is not expected to be completely thru the cwa until the
eve. This will allow for a better chc for isold shwrs and tstms
to develop. Shear is weak, so multicellular mode is expected
should anything get triggered. The best chc is across CT into
the Lower Hudson Valley and NJ for initiation, with too much cin
at the coasts attm. Storm motion is progged to be sly or swly
blw 10 kt, so shwrs and tstms could drift into the more stable
environs before completely weakening. For now, the fcst has been
kept dry across LI with the Sound expected to allow for
significant weakening. If CAPE verifies higher than the model
progs today, slgt chcs will need to be expanded to the island.
The NBM was used for temps, with coastal influences well
represented by the data. Any pcpn dissipates this even with a
loss of daytime heating and the passage of the front. Some
patchy fog was included with lgt onshore flow developing. In
addition to any fog development, there does seem to be a good
signal for marine stratus to roll in. Cloud cover was weighted
towards the NAM llvl rh fields. The NBM was used for lows.

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/...
Dry wx with hipres building in. The big question is how cloudy
it is. Marine stratus is expected in the mrng, so the fcst burns
this off slowly thru about 16z. If the stratus doesn`t develop,
it should still be fairly cloudy with bkn-ovc cirrus. The
significant high cloudiness is expected thru the remainder of
the day as subtropical moisture pours into the region. Cloud
cover has been ramped up in the fcst as a result. The NBM was
used for temps.

So we got stalled fronts, winds off the waters, and subtropical moisture all causing clouds.

Today may be the last 80 degree day for awhile.

81 with a dew point of 66 where I am in Berlin. I see a few cumulus clouds building in the northwest. Pretty much cloud-free in every other direction.

Also have a lot of "snow" falling from the trees here. Small little puffs of white pollen (?) floating around.

Saw. Nice! I'll be in Maine this weekend and GFS has 30s Monday morning. lol

Yeah, probably pollen or pedals from some blooms? I saw some trees with white blooms, not sure what kind they are. Bit late for trees to have blooms. Man its humid out. Dews in the 60s everywhere. 70s in NJ. #Tropical
