Say it Ain't So - weather
just saw the latest forecast from weather.com and I do not want to believe it for Memorial Day weekend
Canis? Resident? anyone else? what are your weather predictions for Friday through Monday, I do not trust national weather for our little slice of the world

If it makes you feel any better, weather service predicted partly sunny today with a high of 78...it hasn't passed 59 and no sun as of this posting.
Hopefully they are wrong again this weekend. |

I've been monitoring the weekend weather and it doesn't look very good at all at this point. But we are heading north to do some ATV riding so rain is a good thing, it keeps the dust down and makes for some good mud riding.

Looks like a wet next four or five days.
I am not happy about this one bit. This is the first Memorial Day weekend I am off from my soccer coaching job/hobby in 19 years and I was looking forward to good weather at the lake. At least I will not be getting wet on a soccer field. R2B |

Certainly for me it takes the sting out of working this whole holiday weekend.

I'm seeing mixed reports. Sunday afternoon looks good as well as Monday. Saturday looks spotty.
Lets stay positive... I have two boas in now and havent got to use them... need to launch the pwc, the kids ( young males) want to use it this weekend. Welcome to New England, the weather changes every 5 minutes. |

I just spent 45 minutes looking at model output. The news is not good as things look to be slowing down meaning it looks like any clearing will be slower to come.
Today it is a front lifting northward and pulling very moist air up with it. Tomorrow has a cold front sweeping in from the NW setting off more showers. For Saturday and Sunday a low pressure area stalls near the 70/40 benchmark rotating moisture in from the ocean. Monday, the low will start to lift northeastward. This could cause some clearing, but just in time for the return trip home for those coming up for the weekend. It should get warm today, but turn cooler tomorrow and staying cool until the sun reappears sometime on Monday. I wish I had better news and I hope I am wrong with this forecast, but right now, my confidence is high with this bad weather forecast. R2B |

So are all the models saying pretty much the same thing? Or is it that nasty European one that I hated over the winter the only one suggesting the rain?

This is s fairly simple situation and all the short-term models are fairly aligned.
There is a line of storms "training" all the way back to NYC about the impact the lakes region. I would not be surprised to see two inches of rain between 4PM and midnight in the area. Not a happy weather guy right now. R2B |

Hope we don't flood
The lake is a bit above full (504.33 ft) and with two inches possible, the dam is throttled back almost the whole way, at 244 CFS. We don't need the erosion that man-made floods bring. Hopefully the dam operator isn't sequestered.
Update: Saturday morning. Lake is up to 594.43 and the output is still low, reported at 246 CFS. The rain gauge may not be working.

Pretty big winds from the North too. Saturday could be pretty exciting in places if you're on the water.

The moisture train has set up a bit south of the lake. I think it will back up to the lake a bit tonight. Not sure we will see the two inches of rain at this time.
Still a showery weekend until Monday. R2B |

true statements across the board, but I am holding to that it will be over cast and might rain in your area but you should be able to get outside, might not be beach or boating weather, but will still be able to make it work!

A rainy weekend on the lake is MUCH better than a warm sunny week at work! |
