Didn't expect this, this morning... this whack in the face BD. The NAM grids had some feeble onshore components, but not 30kt gusts whipping tree limbs around and extending flags. Looking around at area obs, and satellite, it's pretty clear that a 2ndary push of northeasterly winds puffed into the coastal plain around 12z and continues to press SW across the area. They sky is gray and billowed; then I took a quick glance at visible imagery and it very very local to eastern Massachusetts, and appears to be rolling SW toward RI/CT.

I tell you, there is some kind of odd "micro-teleconnector" that connects the NAO domain to specifically the 10,000 sq mile region of SNE. There are certain NAO scenarios that bend this specific area over the proverbial weather barrel. It seems to be -NAOs that are in fading regions of the curve. I think what it really boils down to is lag correlations. The NAO does not immediately get us chilled when it starts falling; likewise, when it is rising from a strong nadir, the cool conveyor seems to persist seemingly after it should. Interesting. Eh, at least it will clear from the NE shortly.

Re, next week - yeah, I see that... I actually have less problem with that, because the last 3 weeks have demonstrated that for whatever reason, the NAO is the current primary effective influence on modulating our weather - it may simply be a matter of the PNA seasonally gone to bed... but anyway. Seeing as that is the case, the index is fairly well clustered around a continued recovery out of nadir toward some as yet unknown local maximum. The idea of at last lifting heights and ridding the 65W/40N of that -NAO attribute REX block has even more merit this morning, as the new values now are actually positive, not just neutral.

It could get really hot if the GLAAM would rise positive, because the main mass of the AO domain vortex has shifted to far side of the arctic ocean, such that a uber deep subtropical ridge event on this side of the hemisphere would result.

Hard to believe a low of 62 and we still were -3 for the day

Yeah, next few days will wind up below normal as well. Should be interesting what a couple of days do next week but I do think we're going to wind up negative for the month.

I should probably look and see where the major climo stations stand...

All 4 major climos are -2.5 to -3.5 roughly

impressive backdoor front. lots of busted forecasts lol

No kidding! I posted about this within the last hour, that this wasn't well expected - certainly not by me.

This post boundary air mass is in fact deep enough to clear us out now in eastern NE from the NE!

Yeah I posted a bit ago on twitter clouds here will thicken next couple hours and then we'll clear out by mid/late afternoon. Once we start to clear though we'll probably mix down 25knot gusts though. Impressive front.
