May 2017 Observations & Discussions

Dam now why can't we have this Storm in Jan or Feb

Yeah, this is going to be pretty narsty, unfortunately :/

5.1 Inches for New York! Is that even possible?

The low pressure seems to almost stall once it gets here. The Canadian model shows much LESS rainfall. In the 1-2" zone.

Ugh man, I hope this thing stalls a little longer. I have a flight to catch on Saturday a 9 am with reservations to stay somewhere. a 1-day cancellation would literally just stop my vacation.

Yea I have a camping trip this week. Or had

So if it stalls, wouldn't it give us more rain? (Assuming it stalls over us) Why would the Canadian Model say less?

Enyape,
Yes if it stalls we would have ir get big rains. Th Canadian doesn't stall it that is why it shows less. 18z GFS is showing flooding rains

The GFS is considerably drier than yesterday's runs. Looks like models backed off the idea of a stalling system. In general, I would say 1-2" of rain likely with pockets of 2"+ possible over Long Island / Jersey Shore

hit 32 this morning.

Nothing like a mid May frost.

LOVE IT AND THE YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally some good spring weather starting from Tues Wed Thurs and probably Fri with temps in the 70s to neat 80 by Wed

Hey Frank, do you think Saturday AM like around 9 would be bad conditions for flight delays or are they expecting worst conditions in the afternoon? Thanks in advance!

18z @RGEM SAYS GFS is being a GooFuS again in cutting backbwhich it did with the last storm and we got double what it called for 

1-2 inches is a good call

CP, yet ANOTHER morning in the low 30's, 33.8 right now.In Mahwah, the last frost date was May 20 so up here it must be close to June 1.Maybe you can verify that living here so many years.I'll be taking a chance getting the rosemary, basil and tomato plants May 20 up here,lol.

Glad for you, Frank and the other Yankee Fans on the board,It's a great, young team!

33.8, 90%, 29.78F

41* this morning fir me low.

GEFS overnight say OP is off with this mean

Well I better get my tropics thread up anyone notice 18z and 00z GFS has our first tropical system up the east coast around hr 300 hit in SC.  Its not unheard of to have systems now adays in May though 300 hrs out im very skeptical.

cmc has it too but within 240 hrs.

06z gfs has 2.5 to 3 for tomorrow, still not good.

Jeeze if the GEFS shows 2 inches plus I cannot imagine how high the individual heavy hitters must be.

Doc, I've seen my fair share of late May frosts around here, it happens fairly often but you're usually talking about an hour or two of freezing or slightly below when they do happen so May 20th is usually a pretty good date for planting.

Help on a cruise will dock in FLA tom supposed to fly home tom evening can someone update me please we fly into new York..thanks

Light to moderate rainfall will start between 7-8am. I think 9am is early enough where you should be OK. Even the winds are supposed to be light at that time. Have a safe flight!

The later your flight into NY is, the better. The heaviest part of the rain will move through between Noon and 7pm. I think after 8 or 9pm we'll see conditions get better.

TX Frank we leave Fla at 330 and get in at 630...have had glorious weather all week..sad not bringing it home with us
