NortheastĪlong and to the west of the central Appalachians, rain and high-elevation snow (1.5 to 3 inches, liquid equivalent), fell across southwest Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and northern West Virginia at the beginning of May. Weekly temperatures averaged above-normal across the Great Plains. 7-day temperatures, ending on May 8, averaged below-normal across most of the East along with California, the Great Basin, and Desert Southwest. Following a wet end to April across the East, drier weather prevailed this past week from the Mid-Atlantic south to Florida. However, much of Kansas, Missouri, and southern Nebraska missed out on this beneficial rainfall. Scattered thunderstorms brought pockets of heavy rainfall (more than 2 inches), from May 2 to 8, to parts of Texas, central Nebraska, and the Midwest. A strong area of mid-level low pressure, near the West Coast, resulted in anomalously wet weather during the first week of May throughout the Pacific Northwest, Northern Rockies, Great Basin, and California.
