Me too, mother nature might decide to pull another 2012 style summer on us, i sure hope that isn't the case but it could happen again given the developing drought conditions in the central plains and the upper midwestern states of Wisconsin and Minnesota better hope the drought eases there in those places before summer comes or the Midwestern u.s. will get canned like they did in 2012.
Weekly Long Range Forecast Model Update
April 3, 2015; 10:18 AM ET
Below is my latest interpretation of weekly ECMWF forecast model update....
Confidence is highest in terms of the coldest anomalies being focused from northern Ontario and Quebec into Atlantic Canada over the next few weeks.
Farther south, still a chilly pattern across the rest of Ontario into next week, but once past the 15th it looks like Spring finally wins out. Spring already won long ago out in the far West.

Might be dry in the upper midwest, but here in Kentucky the ground is saturated with a lot more coming this week. I have faith that we can approach or even replicate the dewpoints of 2011!
Beautiful full-looking moon out tonight. Clear skies so it's perfectly visible. Of course, it's Easter, so the first full moon after the March equinox already happened. Yesterday, that was.

Kentucky, is like comparing apples to oranges, and so though the ground is saturated where you live at, the ground is dry up north in much of Wisconsin and Minnesota and many a people would argue with much disdain about your comparing the southeast with the midwest. The only saving grace about the summer of 2012 was that the drought at least where i live began to improve in August with major rains finally returning........to indianapolis after a miserable June and July that year when i was afraid that it would never rain again. The summer of 2011 also saw very high dew points not just in your location....indianapolis also saw unusually high humidity that summer as well peaking at a dew point of 79 degrees Fahrenheit and logging a daily average of 77 degrees Fahrenheit in July 2011.
I've had to open the windows the last few evenings to cool the room down. Way too warm otherwise, especially to sleep. It's that time of year again. :/
