A wet May continues across much of the East. In a few areas, this is one of or the wettest Mays on record. Many areas have had over 4" of rain this month and some have cracked the 6" mark. Boston, MA was a big jumper since we last put out this graphic a couple of days ago.

Shown here are select locations in the Eastern United States with above normal precipitation so far in May. Many areas have seen over 4 inches so far this month with a few areas exceeding 6 inches.

For portions of the Northeast, this has been a very wet month so far, with many locations near or already exceeding the normal precipitation for the entire month of May.

April had it's share of spring showers and storms, with a wet pattern the first half of the month and several notable rounds of severe weather impacting parts of the Eastern United States throughout the month along with a notable late season snow in parts of the Northeast.

Severe thunderstorms will be a threat for a portion of the eastern US tomorrow. The main threat is damaging winds, with the greatest concern across OH, northwest PA, and western NY.

April started out wet, but the last week has been dry across much of the Eastern US, as evidenced by the drier soil moisture. Needed rain is on the way through Saturday night, with precipitation lingering through Sunday in northern New England.

Does it seem like we've had a lot of wet days lately? In some areas, more days have had precipitation since March 15th than saw precipitation from January 1st to March 14th. A major pattern flip has resulted in frequent wet days in parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

With the calendar in mid-April you might be wondering based on the last 30 year average when you could be done seeing the last touches of winter - either snow or freezing temperatures, depending on what you consider it to be. Here are some statistics for some selected locations.

With late season snow over parts of the Northeast this weekend, here is an updated list of snowfall totals for select locations for the season to date. So far areas near the Great Lakes and in northern New England have the highest actual totals this season but relative to normal.

So far this April has been off to a soggy start, especially in the OH Valley, where some areas have already surpassed the normal precipitation total for the entire month of April. Even with all the rain, these values are far from the wettest April ever at these locations for now.

As a follow-up to our post yesterday about dry conditions in the Northeast, dry conditions have also persisted in many areas of the Southeast since October 2024. In some cases, the last six months have been the driest ever recorded in that area.

Since developing late last summer, drought conditions have persisted in many parts of the Northeast US, especially in eastern PA, central MD and southern NJ. In some areas this was the driest such period on record and a Top 5 in many others. This includes March, which was wetter.

Zero has been a popular number so far this March for snow at many locations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. If these numbers hold through the end of the month, several locations could tie and in a few cases set a record, for the first ever snowless March.

Today is the last full day of astronomical winter and you might be curious how cold it got compared to avg. Many locations got colder than the 30 yr avg coldest low of the season. Most areas had their lowest readings Jan 21-23, but others reached them in late Dec-early Feb.

Severe thunderstorms are possible across eastern portions of the U.S. today, with the greatest threat across western PA.

With the winter of 2024-2025 almost over, here is a look back at the lowest temperature recorded in each state in the official database this winter. Most states saw their coldest low temperature of the winter from Jan 21-23 although New York and Vermont recorded theirs Feb 2.

This is a follow-up to our post a few days ago about seasonal snowfall totals across the eastern US so far this year. Here are the 3 highest totals for official sites by state. Note 6 inches near Myrtle Beach, SC and over 300 inches east of Lake Ontario in upstate NY!

Check out these snow totals across the eastern US so far this year! Some big numbers as expected near the Great Lakes, but also some above normal snowfall totals across portions of the Mid-Atlantic.

While snowfall totals were well below normal this winter, 2024 has been quite wet across much of the Eastern US. The total precipitation (rainfall and liquid equivalent of any snow/sleet/ice) so far during 2024 as of 5 pm Sat April 13th has been above normal at most locations.
