You’re right. May is not supposed to be this cold and wet.

But by midweek, temperatures will warm up and the rain will go away, giving all of us the nice weekend weather we earned by not calling out sick on this dreary May 14.

Tuesday will be wet and chilly ☔️

There’s a chance of rain mostly after 9 a.m. The sky will be gray, so whether or not it actually rains, it will definitely feel as if it could rain.

The day will start in the low 40s and might reach a high only in the low 50s in the afternoon.

If that last number doesn’t mean much to you, consider this: On May 14, 1882, the high was 50. That temperature set a record for being the lowest high temperature of any May 14 since record-keeping began in the city.

Yes, our high temperature today is expected to be only a couple of degrees higher.

But we did set a record yesterday. Monday’s high temperature was just 48, making it the lowest high temperature of any May 13 since the city started keeping track. Before that, the record was 50, set in 1931.
