Just saying the same thing..even my plants in my greenhouse kitchen! LOL did you see the northern lights by you or was it too cloudy as well?
Nothing,Mom too cloudy.
My wife and a GF went to Iceland last November and that is a great place to see them.
71 degrees, showers starting, calm winds.

58 right now. An inch of rain in the gauge. I have been outside drinking a cup of coffee and listening to the gentle rain kiss the tree leaves...and of course...throwing the ball for the dog. Monday I could not sit out front on the deck with the overhang. It was too cold. I felt like ice. I had to sit with the dog in the sun for an hour to get warm. I know now what it is like to be a reptile regulating my internal temperature.

Welcome to the forum thunder! Yeah but it changes, for instance this weekend is now looking mainly dry, as opposed to just a day ago was looking like rain all weekend. I hope it stays this way, even better be sunny!Thunderman07 wrote:This on and off rain has been miserable, and looking ahead it don't appear to be changing anytime soon with 35% + chance of rain each day next week too

The trees are fully leafed out and bright green, the grass is shimmering emerald with the morning dew on it. This is probably as green as you are going to get. But yes, hopefully we get a break from the rain for summer activities starting soon. Short-term forecast isn't great, but maybe a light at the end of the tunnel by late next week in time for MDW.
This is always the peak of greeness as we go into June.Have not used the lawn sprinklers in a few weeks now, getting it all for free,LOL.
62 degrees, drizzly, calm winds.
Welcome aboard, Thunderman.

No, I don’t think so. I think it would be thanks to a persistent stalled front near, or just inside the coastline which will allow a steady fetch from the Gulf, Sub-tropical, and Tropical Atlantic to funnel a steady moisture source northward. Then, since we’d be in a generally favorable location for large-scale ascent downstream of a long wave trough axis, even when we don’t have impulses riding along the boundary, I think daily showers and thunderstorms that train over the same areas in the deep southerly/south-southwesterly flow would be likely. I’d have to look, but it reminds me I think of a similar pattern to what we saw in August of…….2021 maybe? I can revisit that idea and confirm lol but with such a deep moisture source that would not be good, especially with how wet it’s been so far this year.

This is all at face value, but here’s what I was thinking of; August of 2022 lol I was close haha
That was a wet August, as I remember several flooding events along the Jersey Shore. A more comprehensive composite of the wettest summer months on record would probably be better, but I honestly don’t know how to composite between different months AND years on that site haha

Mom, glad your Hubby is home safe and sound and ,wow, 88.That could be a mid July day.
Happy Memorial Day and thanks to all who made the supreme sacrifice so we could enjoy freedom.I am thinking of those whose families I knew through the years, God Bless them all.
63 degrees, clear and calm.
