November 2013 Observations & Discussions

But the models also overestimate the cold. I'd be surprised if NYC got below 23-24 and Sunday will most likely be in the mid 30s along the coast.

 

You mean mid 30s for Sunday afternoon I assume? Well I have NYC getting to around 20-21 as of right now and highs will likely be below freezing for the city. We'll just have to see I guess what the observed outcome is.

The winds look to calm down to less than 10kts overnight. If the winds are only a few MPH, it is possible with 850 temps down to -17.

 

18z NAM Bukfit out LGA mixes down 15kt+ winds until 11z Monday. 850mb temps are rising overnight too. I find the NAM often a few degrees too high for NYC lows. I like lower 20s.

It's hard to believe but NYC has not had a record low in the month of November since 1986 and none in the 2nd half of the month since 1938. Monday's record low is 19, which could be close but probably will miss by a couple degrees.

November is the longest.

 

No records in December since 1988...  February since 1990... September since 1993...  August since 1994...  June since 1995...  April since 1997...  October since 1999... July since 2001...  May since 2002...  March since 2003... January since 2004... 

 

This January it will be 10 years since the last record low.

I'll take an early guess that JFK will get down to 24-25 Monday morning and finish in second

to third place for the date. The strongest CAA will be Sunday when the dews may

drop below 0 and afternoon temps struggle to get above 32.

I'm on my phone so I can't look myself, but what's the timing of the cold air? Are we expected to have a midnight high greater than say 32-34 degrees, or is the front modeled to be fast enough so that we have a legit chance at staying below freezing all day on Sunday for the city and the nearby burbs?? If it's gonna be bitterly cold anyway, I'm hoping we can at least set some record low maximums around the area on Sunday.

Its gonna be close.  MOS says it will still be above freezing at midnight at NYC, but raw model output 2 m temps say it will already be below freezing.

We may see the driest conditions here in late November since 2005 if the dewpoints drop

below zero like the MOS is showing. I think that afternoon temperatures on Sunday

will struggle to get above 32 and winds will be gusting over 40 mph with a mixed layer

to around 700 mb. When we had such deep mixing a few weeks back, the gusts at

the local airports exceeded guidance.

the Giants/Dallas game at the Meadowlands is going to be decided on the ground tomorrow with those winds and bitter wind chills also maybe a few frozen noses inthe stands

where's Joe Namath when we need him...The winds at Shea never bother him...the kicking game will be effected...This cold wave will probably be the coldest November outbreak since 1987 or at least 2005 and 2008 levels...
