Smoke season is here! 
I still do not get the urge to go out on the first non wet weekend and attempt to burn wet stuff…🤮 Guess my outdoor plans are forced to change today.

Ended up with an 84/56 spread here yesterday. The low was at midnight as onshore gradients increased.

Mostly cloudy with some spotty drizzle and 54 out now after a low of 50. Feels very refreshing.

I guess we all just need to get over the smoky season in general then. No more complaining about smoke from anyone on the forum from here on out!

You can see the MJO in action on the EPS... big trough over the eastern half of the country to start then next round moves down along the west coast and the next round after that is back around the Bering Sea.    Watch for the next warm spell somewhere between May 10-20.

Nice looking 12z EPS. Some good variety with warm day and cool days and plenty of precip/convective chances. What May is all about.

Yep. And the warm days are just that, normal warm days, a few degrees above average. Not much torching at the sfc.

Next 10 days should be fairly normal overall... maybe even wetter than normal.    I also think a mid-May warm spell is pretty likely.     The late April warm spell tracked very nicely with the MJO.

Going forward definitely. Although at least down here the heatwave the last three days was pretty notable. And handful of spots in Oregon approaching or breaking all time April highs.

Waahhh.   I can hand out meaningless negative reactions just like you dummies.  

I started tracking that warm spell during the second week of April based on the MJO.    Was not surprise and so welcomed by the landscape.  Next one up in mid May.   We don't control the weather Andrew.
