AccuWeather senior meteorologist Joe Lundberg explained the current weather conditions, attributing the cool, rainy May to a high-pressure ridge over the Northeast Atlantic, which is blocking warm air and forcing the jet stream south. He forecasted continued cloudy skies, scattered showers, and chilly temperatures, with highs struggling to reach 60 degrees. Despite a brief 70-degree day, the average temperature for the month is slightly above normal. Lundberg noted the unpredictable precipitation patterns, with a recent shift from severe drought to excessive rainfall, and predicted drier conditions later in the summer.
