Even here, near the ocean we started at 36 this morning and now up to 60 already. You also get these large swings in early November. I remember being in the 30s in the morning and in the 70s in the afternoon several times!
-
The hurricane season last year was very interesting too, very quiet for a large majority of normal peak activity time. Everything was shifted to the south.... and the same thing happened this winter.
-
I think Toms River (KMJX) would be too, great radiational cooling because it's in the Pine Barrens and heats up very quickly on a SW or W wind.
-
I love these kinds of days. In April the swing can be even more extreme (we can start out in the 50s and end up in the 90s).

1888: The Great Blizzard of 1888 paralyzed the east coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine on March 11 through the 14th. The blizzard dumped as much as 55 inches of snow in some areas, and snowdrifts of 30 to 40 feet were reported. An estimated 400 people died from this blizzard.

We might get some breaks Thursday night into Friday. Having cloudy skies is absolutely useless there is no storm coming until Sunday.
-
The skies are the bluest I have seen in a long time. This is my favorite kind of weather.
-
Was this one of our drier winters too? Those winters from the 60s and 80s were definitely drier.
-
It's not arctic air or anything like that, but a side effect of being near the ocean. I looked at the forecast for the Poconos and there are no temperatures below the 50s for the next 7 days. Once you get well inland you won't see the cooling influence of the ocean.
-
This makes me want to know The Battery's total for the March 1888 snowstorm, do we have numbers for individual snowstorms there and their list of the top 5 snowstorms there, Don?
-
yes some of our hottest summers like 2010 have happened with a -NAO.
-
Interesting that 1896 is on this list, March 1896 was the snowiest month and the only month in NYC with 30 inches or more of snow until February 2010 and January 2011 came along. 1896 also had that superheatwave that killed over 1,500 people in NYC in August with 10 days over 90 degrees.
-
Love those clear blue skies! We get it for one more day tomorrow....
-
Thanks, is this the earliest the records go back there? It would be interesting if we could find records that go further back than Central Park's.
-
Lets just hope we get these same westerly winds in the summer, instead of the regular old very warm and humid we could actually get some historic heat.
-
it's also ridiculous to bet against warm temperatures with a downsloping wind. Westerly winds always overperform modeling temperatures, I've seen this going back to the 80s.
-
It usually hits 70 at least once every March. I thought it was ridiculous that some people thought it wouldn't hit 70 in March when it was 67 on March 1st here.
-
I thought today was supposed to be the warmest day? Either way tomorrow should be close. Lots of spring birds building nests now.
-
with climate change we'll likely have longer droughts and longer wet periods. More atmospheric moisture depends on onshore flow to deliver rainfall for specific areas and we have had westerly flow for a few months now which might indicate we're starting a long period of drier weather, beginning with our driest month on record (0 rainfall here last October.) So it could be that we'll just get more extremes with rain just like we've seen with snowfall.
-
Yes, thats what I think too.
-
Records: Highs: EWR: 81 (2016) NYC: 79 (2016) LGA: 78 (2016) JFK: 71 (2006) Lows: EWR: 10 (1984) NYC: 12 (1929) LGA: 12 (1984) JFK: 12 (1984) The early season heat in 2016 continued..... That arctic shot in 1984 must have been right after the March 1984 snowstorm!
-
Do you have the longest time periods between 70 degree readings Chris? I think the last time we were 70 or higher was early November, when it was in the low 80s.
-
I just saw the same thing lol
-
Exactly! 41-42 inches is our true normal, we need to chop down the excess vegetation that resulted from this anomalous 51 inch average-- or nature will do it for us.
-
I think JFK will be hitting 100 multiple times this summer :-)
