In orbit????
yeah whatever it takes, I hate onshore winds, aim the turbine down and to the right, as the winds are aimed downward the compressional heating will make it nice and toasty

I really think you belong in San Diego. 70 and sunny all the time, with the wind off the pacific low allergens too.
being that I love plants and am a horticulturalist, I’ll take the rain.
My best year for growing things was 1993, which was one of our hottest summers on record. I grew sunflowers 8 feet tall, I grew green beans, I had a rose garden, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupe, green peppers, carrots, potatoes, egg plant, I even had a row of corn (my first time and last time growing corn).
I like watering, I don't need a lot of rain.
There is something very zen about just watering and admiring nature lol. Hot weather plus cow manure made everything grow very tall and lush. I love my 100 degree days and rain maybe once every 10 days.
We don't need more than 40 inches of rain per year, anything more than that is excess.

Record warmth and moisture across the world.
at some point some genius engineers will have to develop a way to funnel the excess moisture off into space.

Yup, finally a few days of westerly flow hopefully.
at this point I dont care if we have to put a huge turbine in orbit to blast westerly winds continuously....

.MONDAY...Mostly cloudy. A chance of showers in the morning. Not as cool with highs in the mid 70s. Chance of rain 30 percent. .TUESDAY...Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 70s. .WEDNESDAY...Partly sunny. A chance of showers. Highs in the upper 70s. Chance of rain 50 percent. .THURSDAY...Mostly cloudy. A chance of showers. Highs in the mid 70s. Chance of rain 50 percent.
this is so changeable that it changes from moment to moment.
The temperatures are fine, but it looks like Tuesday and Wednesday are better than the other days.
Why the hell is NY turning into a rain forest?

Next back door front is already on the way-you can see it on radar coming into the twin forks.
Definitely was a nice day when the sun came out, but it was a bummer that the summer temps were a bust.
We need to get rid of this out of season blocking.
Why don't we get these fronts in the winter?

Kudos to the NAM and other models that kept the summer air at bay. It’s a tough call east of the city whenever there’s a back door/SE wind pattern. GFS had the wind turning westerly which never happened here. It did turn nice once the clouds finally broke but the barrier beaches probably stayed at 60 or below.
The sun came out just after 2 PM and it barely made a different in the temperatures which stayed in the 60s. But it was really nice, not cold and not hot. The skies were a very deep blue too.

Cleared out but stuck at 70 likely due to the onshore wind. The warmer models also had us switching to a W wind and we’re still SE. That also caused the clouds to hang on. This’ll be as warm as we get until the wind changes.
Yesterday was the warmer day here when we were in the low 70s, got stuck in the upper 60s today even with full sunshine after 2 PM there was no bump up in temperatures but it does look pretty with deep blue skies and zero clouds.

The park 79, Kennedy 63. Yikes.
I wonder how much longer the sun has been out there.
It's upper 60s here

It's starting to clear out here, still some clouds around but more and more blue skies now.

Especially 1991 with the record number on 90° days that spring. But the springs have been steadily getting earlier and warmer. It’s just that the warm up has occurred with more frequent spring -NAOs. The -NAOs can’t prevent the warming trend but they do shorten the warm ups when the -NAO is enough of a factor. So this spring has featured short 80°+ warm ups lasting a few days before the backdoors and onshore flow returns.

Years like 1991, 1993, 1999 and 2002 we had very long multiple streaks of 7+ days with 90 or higher. Besides the +NAO back then in the spring and summer it was also drier.

Yeah, spring is one of the the only seasons these -NAO patterns overperform. I am on the New England side of the backdoor with low clouds and mist. Like the cooler weather in general up here so far. Especially how quickly the temperatures fall due to much better radiational cooling after sunset.

I feel like our springs in the 90s were much warmer

Pesky cloud deck. Sunny extreme north shore and mid 60s, stuck at 61 here.
the sky is really bright here but still no blue breaks, it's just a matter of time though.
as long as the sun comes out by 5 I'm happy.

It’s brightening up a bit near ISP, not as misty, but still socked in.
well west of you, it's still cloudy here.
Brightening up a little sure.

Wouldn't count on that
Forecast for Monday-Wednesday behind the Sunday storm is for partly sunny skies and temps in the mid to upper 70s

There was a bit of a model war yesterday between the 3k NAM that had a more cloudy/backdoor-y look today and GFS which shot everyone west of the William Floyd to 80. Looks like Upton lowered my point/click high for the day. It’ll be a day to day struggle as long as we’re in this pattern.
Next week will be more sunny

Earthquake was stronger than the aftershocks we had been getting. Lasted about 5 seconds.
This was the closest to my house yet.you felt it? I don't feel anything below 3, 2.6 wasn't enough to do anything to me.

It's been pretty dry for almost 3 weeks now lol...
I guess my idea of dry is a lot of sunshine every day too lol

I really hope I get to experience a VEI 7 in my lifetime. Purely from a meteorological perspective. Too much to write in regards to how incredible that would be in the face of global warming.
Maybe for darker lunar eclipses, but as far as volcanoes influencing the climate, they've all been a colossal disappointment.
I was around for El Chichon and it didn't do anything for our snowfall totals and neither did Pinatubo.

The mid to long range is looking pretty wet and active so it looks like there should be plenty of chances for rain/storms moving forward with around normal temps for the first half of May.
hmmm everyone has been saying we're getting into a dry pattern lol-- at least it looks dry after the weekend rain with temps in the mid to upper 70s

Clouds broke for some sunshine today in the New York City area where the monthly mean temperature finished at 55.7° (2.0° above normal) after a high temperature of 66°. Farther south, Atlantic City and Philadelphia saw the mercury again reach the 80s. Some showers or perhaps thundershowers are possible tonight but drier weather should return tomorrow.
May should see the first week wind up somewhat warmer than normal, even as there is considerable variability in the daily temperatures. Overall, May looks to wind up on the warm side of normal.
The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.8°C for the week centered around April 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.23°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is fading. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring.
The SOI was -3.82 today.
The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -1.058 today.
Don what's causing all this variability? Is the SE Ridge not strong enough to take over?

We just did get pounded. We had a spectacular lightning storm along with a quick 0.65” of rain. Looks like the storms are weakening some as they move into the more stable atmospheric conditions further east across NJ.
I was also watching that hail shown above on radar. I am certain that there was even larger sized hail with this feature up near Jim Thorpe.
I hope none of my plants got damaged. I'm headed out to the Poconos tomorrow morning.
It's been in the 80s the last couple of days there-- you guys who like storms so much-- you need this kind of heat to get big storms.

this team cannot score
they played a team who also can't score so eventually something had to give.
