I don't see much of an inversion tomorrow. We get well into the 60s with dews of 60+ It's mid April not Feb/March.

With a near 6SD jet?

They didn't back off. Coastal areas in warning now 60-70mph gusts and 50-60mph inland with stronger winds possible in storms.

Growing season much further along now, could see more downed branches/trees if those 60-70+ gusts verify.

The 6-10 & 8-14 day forecasts don't look too pretty either. So much for a big recovery. RIP to climate change deniers.

Wow widespread 55+ gusts even away from coast. Hurricane force gusts at coasts and most of LI. Latest GFS has 50-55mph sustained winds on LI and near the city. Really hope that's a joke. Above the surface it's like 90-100kts and some of that could mix down with convective elements in play.

I can see why the HWW was posted. GFS looked pretty impressive too.

Some lightning and thunder. Heavy rains with gusty winds as it passed.

Solid breaks in cloud cover, temps near 65FF with nice line moving east from PA. We should definitely see some good gusts out of this (55-60mph) and maybe small hail too.

1070mb high with block. Crazy stuff.

Yeah now models are bringing back the blocking after prematurely showing it quickly going away. This should keep April on the cooler side relative to normal especially vs Jan-Feb anomalies.

We've seen 90s in April before so agree.

Yeah 2012 looked pretty normal too at this point.

These are temporary sea ice gains. The ice will collapse just as quickly once the vortex collapses in late winter.

My belief is that in due time everyone will transition over simply from market forces alone. Not sure when we'll get to net zero emissions but there's always a new breakthrough on the horizon nuclear fusion being the holy grail of them all. That doesn't mean the transition period won't be rough though. I think a lot of lives will be lost and trillions of dollars from weather related disasters will be commonplace for a few decades before everything stabilizes. I don't think it'll be the end of the world as some proclaim.

That's a point a lot of people either ignore or worse. I believe the US/Europe contribute 15% of all emissions & are gradually declining while China/India/Russia do the rest and they're rising. Even if the US/Europe were to go net zero we'd still have a global problem. Unless those countries change, nothing will change.

Wow was that well thought out. Good luck this season, hopefully it verifies a little more optimistic than you have particularly further south.

Joe B. continues to be a complete joke. I remember him going on and on how there would be a big global cooling event for the 2010s and 20s. Every year he forecasts a big east coast winter and Northeast hurricanes. Occasionally he ends up right but so does a dead clock.

And the Earth is flat too.

That statement is idiotic. And literally every scientist on the planet agrees that we are the cause but do enlighten us. And Don please don't even waste your time.

Wrong again or should we remove the past couple days from the data set too.

Southern spots possibly though models have been trending weaker with any heat potential. Only see low 80s in my forecast.

And today was the last of the 90s until next year.

Wrong again

2012 was essentially an anomalous year due to the great Arctic cyclone. This year maintained the status quo but it'll be more interesting to see what happens next year. The last few years had horrible ice recoveries vs the early 2010s and this year should be no different. A very poor recovery could lead to a new record next year.
