Thins clouds moving through shortly. Check satellitet loop i posted.

60 / 60 and last of the thin clouds moving ESE with bright sunshine in the next hour for most. Dry / warm stretch and its needed deep trough into the west coast and ridge into theast. Flow NNW today - Tue (10/3) with warm hghs near 80 / low 80s. Warm spots could get mid 80s and cool/wetter spots (Central park) may be stuck in the low - mid70s. Mon-Tue and Fri (10/6) winds less onshore Wed / Thu highest 850 MB temps forecast with >16C but NNE flow. Trough digs into the GL/MW pushes east by Fri (10/6) and next weekend with next rain chances. Cooler 10/8 - 10/13 - frost or first freezes into the higher elevations and chilly 40s to the coast likely. On the other side of mid October - looks near normal.

Sun coming out now. 68 / 60

Sun (10/1) starts feeling like we are in a warm pattern/ridging and out of the coold/rainy "oasis". Still some NNE flow through the week but very warm air all around against averages. 80s for the warm spots (park may stay 5 - 8 degrees below other sites with the growth). Peak warmth Wed - Thu (10/4). Trough into the GL/MW by the end of the week with front approaching Sat (10/6). Cooler period 10/ 8 - 10/11 looks like frost in the mountains/NW section as currently projected. Ridge into the NW pushes east by mud month and warmer one the other end of the middle 10/16 or so. We'll see how dry the 10/1 - 10/15 period can remain - tendency is for hung up fronts and it wants to rain here.

It'll be interesting to see high differences between NYC (park) and EWR/New Brnswck/ LGA etc Mon - Wed this week.

Been trying to look at that as well. Let me know if you figure it out first.

59 / 58 and moderate rain 1.62 in the bucket. Rain lovers in their glory the last 9 days. One more day of pure precipitation pleasure before the big dry out begins Saturday (9/30). 3 - 6 inches amounts on top of the 3 - 6 inch amounts from last week. An oasis of cool and rainy in an otherwise (ridgey / warm pattern) has stuck in this region the last 10 days. Overall 10/1 - 10/9 warm with 2-3 days much above normal as 850 MB temps push >17c by Wed (10/4). Still persistent onshore flow but flow comes around between Tue and Thu. Trough digs into the GL/MW as ridge builds into the WC/PNW - pushing east by next weekend 10/7 and beyond. Period 10/9 and through 10/17 looks to fall back to nd below normal with more rain chances. IN the way beyond we'll if the trough digs back into the WC/NW and ridging comes east the last third of Oct.

Records: Highs:: EWR: 87 (2014) NYC: 88 (1881) LGA: 84 (2014) Lows: EWR: 38 (1947) - 1947 cool Sep NYC: 41 (1947) LGA: 42 (1947) Historical: 1836 - The first of three early season snows brought four inches of snow to Hamilton, NY, and two inches to Ashby MA.

Watch for a return to a overall wetter pattern by the 9th as trough comes east and front are hung up on EC as atlantic ridge remaind anchores east of bermuda.

57 / 53 and clouds have returned for the next 55 hours. Cloudy and raw today with onshore N-ENE flow. Stuck up pattern keeping the flow onshore and tendency for low undercutting / cutting off and inverted troughs like we'll see tomorrow. Where the rains are focussed look for 2 - 5 inches with local spots to >6-7 inches. That thread is covering the storms. Beyond there 10/ 1 - 10/9 (overall warmer) - warmer air in the overall EC ridging builds down and around. Flow comes around with projected 850 MB temos >17c Tue (10/2) - Fri (10/6). So 80s in the warmer spots and perhaps mid 80s at the peak between Tue - Thu. Trough into the midsection by the 7th slowly coming east on most guidance with ridge going up into the PNW. So Mid month cool down and likely wet again as the trough meets resistance and fronts hung up and hug the coast potentially.

57 / 48. Brief reprieve from the clouds and rain (18 hours). Warm up to near 70 NE flow and still some clouds keep it cool. Clouds back Thu (9/28) and rains back in E-WSW Fri (9/29) and to close the month Sat (9/30). Perhaps some more heavy amounts 1 - 2+ inches is coastal and eastern areas. Beyond there 10/2 - 10/10 - heights up into the east with warm air - but still see onshore flow bias outside of early next week where 80s are on the menu, especially in the warmer spits. Overall warmer - when the flow isnt onshore it will be stronger warmth.

The fire was far enough away that residents were not particularly worried. A sudden shift in the winds drove the flames westward and through town. The fire, caused by summer drought and fueled by the abundant Gorse Weed found in many of the empty spaces between buildings in Bandon, caused so much destruction that only a handful of structures were left standing when the fire finally died down. 1950 - Residents of the northeastern U.S. observed a blue sun and a blue moon, caused by forest fires in British Columbia.

58 / 54 and total of 4.19 since Friday - coming on 100 straight hours of mostly cloudy weather and likely get to 120 before sun returns or at least partially on Wed for a few hours. Hung up pattern keeping it cloudy, misty and very unpleasant (well for most that is). Flow comes around a to the NW/W by Mon 10/2 - Wed (10/14) but still see signs pf onshore and potential cut offs. Overall warmer with a day or two of stronger warmth. Still think we ride the wet side as the flow is still botteled up into the EC.

Emily, moving northeast at 45 mph, produced wind gusts to 115 mph at Kindley Field. The thirty-five million dollars damage inflicted by Emily made it the worst hurricane to strike Bermuda since 1948. Parts of Michigan and Wisconsin experienced their first freeze of the autumn. Snow and sleet were reported in the Sheffield and Sutton areas of northeastern Vermont at midday.

61 / 61 3.95 total from this past 3 days. Grey skies nothing but grey skies. Showers and clouds continue this 4th day. Ophelia or what's left of will depart later tonight and Tue (9/26) PM with scattered showers persisting. Beyond there the Atlantic ridge keeps flow stagnant on the EC and ridgig into Canada keeps flow easterly. Would not surprise me for cut off low to bring more rain chances between 9/25 - 10/2/. Beyond there the flow comes around with perhaps a two surge of stronger warmth before an overall warmer than normal into early October.

Records: Highs: EWR: 92 (2017) 6 yrs NYC: 91 (2017) LGA: 91 (2017) Lows: EWR: 40 (1950) NYC: 40 *(1963) LGA: 42 (1947) Historical: 1926 - The temperature at Yellowstone Park dipped to nine degrees below zero.

(David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1939: A thunderstorm on this day dropped 6.45 inches in six hours at Indio, CA. This rainfall preceded “El Cordonazo” or “The Lash of St. Francis”, an actual tropical storm. For the entire storm, which started on this day and ended on the 26th, four inches of rain fell across the deserts and mountains as a dying tropical cyclone moved across Baja California into southwestern Arizona. This storm was the second tropical cyclone to impact California during this month. A strong El Niño may have contributed to the activity. The tropical storm produced 50 mph winds over the ocean and estimated seas of 40 feet. September rain records were set in Los Angeles with 5.66 inches and 11.6 inches at Mt. Wilson. 45 people died from sinking boats, and harbors were damaged. Total damage was estimated at $2 million. Californians were unprepared and were alerted to their vulnerability to tropical storms. In response, the weather bureau established a forecast office for Southern California, which began operations in February of 1940. 1950 - A smoke pall from western Canada forest fires covered much of the eastern U.S. Daylight was reduced to nighttime darkness in parts of the Northeast.
