So why must I say anything at all? It's been a rainy, cool week as compared to normal. The graphic below shows that we are now at 24"+ of rain for the year and the dark green shading indicates that we are well above normal for the year. This should allow most of the early part of the growing season to be adequately equipped with the necessary water requirements if farmers and gardeners alike can get their seed in the ground! The coolness of the atmosphere also shows quite nicely, especially during this past week as compared to normals. The nighttime temps are actually a bit above normal thanks to the thick overcast of this past week. However, with the rainfall, the daytime temps remained well below normal. The below normal snowfall which is also shown in the graphic at the bottom will enable yours truly to imbibe on wings and lemon water thanks to our esteemed English mentor and weather aficionado!
We look to be on target Monday for a very warm day with temps in the mid 80s but to reach 90 might be a stretch. My spirit was there but the atmosphere may be unwilling! The remainder of next week looks to be governed by a stationary front that will meander over our region allowing for changeable conditions with frequent chances of showers and thunderstorms. Depending on which side of the front we land, temps will be either warm and humid or cooler and damp....not really dry crisp air! The map below is depicted for next Wednesday. Note the front is too close for comfort.
Have a great week's end and try to beat Animal Kingdom with Mucho Macho Man running down Shackleford and Flashpoint for my exotic in the Preakness this Saturday! So a few minutes following the crooning Maryland my Maryland, maybe I'll be cashin' with my WP and Exacta Box with The Man on top!

AA: Drier Saturday, showers late Sunday as very warm air invades for Monday. Then unsettled again for next week but not as bad as this week! See above for Preakness play! Have fun at Districts!
