Honestly if we have another system similar to Sandy in terms of strength at our latitude, are we any better off then we were prior to last year? The only difference is that more people would probably pay attention to the warnings, but you would still have some idiots that wouldn't I'm sure.

better off? ..if anything we're worse off as most coastal locations have not recovered from sandy yet

Anyone see this?

From the link:

 

'“This is a breakthrough moment for the National Weather Service and the entire U.S. weather enterprise in terms of positioning itself with the computing capacity and more sophisticated models we’ve all been waiting for,” said Louis Uccellini, director of the National Weather Service.'

 

'“By 2015, we will exceed the ECMWF in operational computing capacity with NOAA operational computers for the first time since the late 1980s or early 1990s,” Uccellini said.'

Thats really great to see, hopefully they can now also invest some $ into some new satellites becauses thats around the time they will start to go out of commision.

there is plenty of warm air to our south and west...temps are in the upper 80's...tomorrow should be the warmest day of the year so far...I think we make it to 85 tomorrow...

This evening feels positively balmy compared to the chill last night...sitting at 58.5/51 tonight after a low of 41.9F last night. Many places in Westchester had frost Tuesday morning, which was significantly colder down here than this morning, though not the case further north in New England.

the other day it was two degrees shy of a record low minimum...Today was two degrees shy of a record high minimum...with showers in the area temps will be stable until the Sun comes out...80's still possible...

79 imby today...short of what I expected...the morning cloudiness and sprinkles helped keep temps below 80...

Pea sized hail, torrential rain and booming thunder here about 40 minutes ago. Very impressive and unexpected. Now the sun is out.

 

 

I managed to get some video of the lightning hitting the Hudson - posted the clip on youtube (and WeatherNation TV picked it up):

Here is the link to the clip, if you're interested:

Looking fwd and sniffing out any potential heat there seems to be hints and glimmers into memorial day week (28 - 30).  Will need to track but suspect any surge of warmth or heat will be transient for now.

I don't think that station in Muttontown is accurate..

 - The NYIT station a little more than a mile west was 9 degrees warmer for the low. (its also been about 6 degrees cooler on average over the last few days vs near by stations)

The muttontown station is always colder at night, but usually around the same during the day, leading me to believe its accurate. I live about 6 or 7 miles SW of muttontown and it is often 5 degrees colder than me on good radiational cooling nights. For those who care,my station is the Albertson station on weather underground.

This is quite perplexing.  Not only did it rain quite a bit more than expected yesterday, given the early sprinkles and later showers, but it has been raining steadily here for about 4 hours tonight and the echoes on radar are very, very shallow.  There's just this stream of moisture that's been training from the northwest, basically north of the stationary front that's stretching from Minneapolis to the ocean, but my slice of the map is gray.  Makes me wonder if light and mid greens moving off the coast mean Monmouth and the shore points are inundated by 3 inches of rain  :hurrbear:

May so far near normal temp-wise and only 1 or 2 days at or above 80. The next 5 days should see positive departures as a more humid airmass overspreads the area. with any sunshine (mon - wed) we could see additional 80+ readings. Cooler/drier weather by Memorial day weekend as Bluewave and others have noted. At this time it looks dry though. Beyond there still some hint we may get ridging into the east and some warmer weather to end May/start June but there is enough conflicting signals still to raise caution.

 

NYC: -0.2
EWR: -0.7

LGA: +0.1

JFK: -1.1

TTN: -0.6
