It’s been a cooler than normal month of April with about average precip with above average snowfall due to the snowy start to the month. Now, we are ready to turn the corner into the month of May. We typically start the month with average highs in the 60s and by the end of the month our average highs are in the low to mid 70s.
Here is what the CPC (Climate Prediction Center) is predicting for the month of May:
Warmer than normal temps out west with “equal chances” for temps and precip. What is “equal chances’? It’s basically, well, the temps and precip could go either way. I just LOVE when the CPC does that.
Now, lets take a look at what the LRC is predicting for the month of May:
A very interesting month with temps starting out the month below average but we get into a nice 7-10 day stretch of WARM weather right around Memorial Day weekend!!!! That’s GREAT news!! Precipitation should average pretty close to average to slightly above average across the F/M area. 3 storms to watch…..one around the 6th of May….another one around the 11th and another one right after Memorial Day weekend. Temps should average close to average for the month with a cool start and warm finish.
