So what does all of this unsettled weather that we've been having do for our summer? Is the summer outlook going to change because of all of this really extreme temperatures (by spring standards anyway)?

The good in this is that its not snowing!!!! And at least the campfire will keep us warm over the holidays!! You can only do with the forecast whatever comes our way - and when the heat finally arrives it will probably stay that way until October!!!!

Rachel,

When we looked at warm Aprils followed by cold Mays I wasn't able to find a signal for the following summers. When I looked strictly at the coldest Mays there was a tendency for cooler summers but the signal wasn't as strong as the data we used to make the summer forecast.

No change in the summer outlook, though.

Jim

This is perfect weather if you planted trees and shrubs-showery and cool. If it were a wee bit warmer, it would also be perfect weather for transplanting vegetable and annual flower plants.
I know my lilacs and late blooming narcissus have lasted a lot longer than my crocus did.

The Weather Channel said last night our area might possibly get severe storms on Monday.
