Cloudy Garrett and north the entire day. I even had a little mist at 2-3pm..Windy and cold. Temps held 40s a large part of the day. Highs occured at midnight, not often is that the case in June. Garrett Airport, not sure they cracked 50 this afternoon.

Satellite today…showing the cloud cover Garrett and north and sun south.
Clear to quickly clouding up, showers in the morning..some breaks in clouds afternoon, gusty winds with showers again late evening. Really another day that felt like fall.
Mainly cloudy in the a.m giving way to partly cloudy skies in the afternoon that continued to thin by evening. Lowering dew points, stiff breeze temps upper 50s, to mid 60s gave a fall like feel.
Cloudy, foggy, light rain…much heavier rain just east of the Alleghenies with flooding in the Berkley Springs, Cacapon area.. temps falling into the 50s late afternoon in Garrett.

May Summary
Bittinger 2nw Valley and Canaan data put together by Dave Lesher
Overall a warmer than normal May, and wetter than normal. After a cold April we went into May leafless and that carried into mid month, and some areas to week 3 with minimal foliage. Thoughts on that, that limits evapotranspiration and allows for more daytime heating in an already warm pattern. So, a cold April can IMO contribute to an even warmer May due to that. By no means was that a cause of warmth, the overall pattern flipped to a summerlike one after the cold April. Lots of cloudy nights with the wet held temps up overnights. Overall combo of the above led to a very warm May.
18Z GFS modeled temps next 10 days. Possibility next week as brief high works in, if it times out correctly, the coldest valleys could run a frost risk.
12Z ECMWF a bit different look on the coming cool.
Fog, cloud cover early morning giving way to some partly cloudy skies. Showers developing southern Alleghenies in the afternoon with some flash flood warnings in spots.
