Recap Of May: Warm & Dry

It's looking like this May will end up being the 8th warmest EVER on record! In addition, it has been a drier than normal month, though some isolated areas have received above normal rainfall. The maps below show departures from normal for both temperatures and rainfall. You will notice that the entire eastern U.S. has been very warm this month.




Isolated Thunderstorms This Afternoon

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible over the next several hours (movement south/southeast at 5 mph). These storms should quickly diminish after sunset this evening. If you get caught under one of these storms, expect very heavy rain and frequent lightning.
