I remember the May 1969 heatwave. We had our school dance festival on one of those days..it was boiling..I remember Love Can Make You Happy a hit from that time.

I played softball in Central Park against CBS new with Jim Jensen pitching in 97 degree heat that day...we lost but I got two hits off him...

Maple helicopters are out of control this year

Been noticing that too

I'm glad the big heat stayed in NJ today.

I topped out at 74 and now down to 69.

82, gorgeous with the wind. Grilling some chicken

Every day

Spring and Summer are so boring

Bring on Autumn and Winter

Cooler today with showers we could see up to 0.25" of needed rain. We are at 73% of normal rainfall for the year to date. We remain cooler than normal through Saturday with a brief warmup on Sunday to above normal before temperatures again fall below normal. Overall, the next couple weeks look to average below normal. Our next shower chances will be Saturday.

.10" Could have used a better soaking. Maybe Saturday?

Additional .25 last night

Guidance was wrong here. We only reached 37 this morning and the prediction from the models was 32.

Yesterday hit 30, so that will likely be the last freeze here- May 6.

.26 earlier.

Ten of our last fifteen days have featured below normal temperatures. It looks like much of the next 15 days will also average out with cooler than normal temperatures. After some much needed rain last night we have a great day underway today. Below normal temperatures will continue through Saturday. Rain chances increase again toward Saturday morning before we briefly warm to above normal on Sunday for Mom’s day with highs in the middle 70’s. We turn sharply cooler again to start the new work week.
