Pattern May Thread

Man what a stretch of cool weather thanks to that ULL off the coast. It's been nice in the afternoons but I'm tired of the steady NE winds and cool nights

It feels great. I personally want to see this weather continue. I keep thinking once we go hot/humid there's no going back. The CFS says we have more of this type of weather for the end of this month (day 12 onwards) and the first part of June. But it's the CFS so....

Easily the hottest means showing up since last august/September, some 90 degree days, with perhaps mid 90s look legitimately possible

Yeah this weather is nice. I don't know what the huge appeal is to 90s and high humidity. Doing yard work or anything else outside when you start sweating immediately when you go out doesn't seem like fun times to me.

Unfortunately the 6z GFS showing a pretty big heat wave from this Sunday through Monday the following week. Looks like first part of that is likely given the proximity but hopefully the longer term moderates or changes, those runs have not been very consistent either way. I'm definitely not ready for the 90s (of course I never am).

90s = best pool weather and lake weather and beach weather

Yeah but how much time can the average person spend in those places. Is it really worth having to live in the heat and humidity, even at night, just so people can swim a few hours here and there? Not even close for me.

I mean it sucks just as much when I’m stuck inside during the winter because it’s cold and windy outside or cold and raining. In all honesty I could do it all day but maybe it’s because I’m younger and a extrovert

90s and high humidity can be tough for long stretches but it beats the doldrums of winter any day of the week for me. I also look at it as an opportunity to get afternoon thunderstorms.

When are we getting 90s and high humidity?

Had a heat burst event in northern Oklahoma this morning. Temperature jumped up to 90 degrees at this station at 6:00 AM.

90s = best pool weather and lake weather and beach weather

70s = the best everything else weather for the other 90% of the time when you're not at the pool/beach/lake on vacation and have to do real life things.

I do those things a lot during the summer tho. I’m sure it’s easier because like I said, I'm
Young and can just really get out of work and do that for the rest of the day

 

[Metwannabe]

Geez sorry I started this haha. I lover 70s or 80s for highs and hate 90s with humidity (which we will get plenty of in due time). I also am tired of the cold mornings, for those of us who have gardens it's time for some warmer temps.... gardens hate cold nights. It's also drying out really quick with these persistent winds, that's all I was saying

 

[NorthDFWwx]

Dewpoints are actually a bit lower today, in the mid/upper 60s.

Age has nothing to do with it.

See all the retirees from northern big cities who flee to Florida and Arizona (both of which are hotter than hades) at their first chance.

Pretty typical ahead of those outflow boundaries when you have an extremely unstable column.

Let's make it to the Summer Equinox first...

Soon.

FWIW, the fastest growing metros in the country (in raw numbers) are Dallas, Phoenix, Houston and Atlanta.

And the fastest growing states (also in raw numbers) are Texas and Florida.

For a lot of people, it's a question of whether having to suffer through 3-5 months of gloomy skies and slipping/sliding on snow/ice that never melts while freezing their buns off or simply having to use a bit of A/C is the bigger evil.
