Atlanta - It seems an unprecedented weather pattern will be sweeping across the nation for the first full week of May. From Seattle to Miami, Bangor to The Bay Area, temperatures will be unseasonably perfect. What's more, expect little to no rain and/or dangerous weather conditions.
Weather of this kind is highly unlikely for this time of year and should be enjoyed by all.
"Typically we meteorologists here at ‘the center', as we like to call it, get revved up for mid-to-late spring clashes between the cool air still pushing down from Canada and the moist air making its way in from the Gulf of Mexico," Chief Weatherman Howard Dietz explains. "This week is typically very dangerous because of the unsettled air that exists on the Great Plains region known as ‘Tornado Alley'. But this week, no sir…couldn't be deader. Might as well tie one on tonight, maybe I can create my own ‘bow echo'."
Activities such as rummaging around in the garden or hitting the neighborhood yard sales should be high on many agendas this weekend. Be sure though to stay hydrated with a handy bottle of water.
Again, Dr. Howard Dietz - "Yea, bottle of water, watch out for sunburn in the Southeastern U.S."
"Christ, not one SuperCell to be had? It's May for crying out loud. Last year we saw the deadliest May on record and now…nothing?"
This week's outlook should stay sunny and nice though Sunday, but the likelihood of showers will increase in various parts of the country before next week begins.
"You have your sunshine fun this week, but someday, someday soon you'll need me. You will need information about the MezoCyclone bearing down on your neighborhood."
"Don't take this week's pristine weather as a truce from Mother Nature, she's an evil bitch-goddess. One day it's all honeysuckle and birds singing and the next, BOOM!, I'll see you on Storm Stories!"
Enjoy the pleasant afternoons as the sun sets, and the relatively clear nights that are dynamite for star gazing during these extended breaks from the weather.
"Yes, enjoy your precious sunsets this weekend. I will be here next week and the week after that and the week after that, because I know you chuckleheads couldn't spot a Wall Cloud if it bit you in the ass."
