Hi Everyone

 

FIrst time poster, long time lurker and weather enthusiast though not nearly as knowledgeable as most people here which is why I tend not to post.  Anyway I just notices something interesting with the current temps in and around the Albany area.  There is a pretty wide range of temps between Albany and Troy (Albany in mid 30s, Troy in low 60s), can someone explain? Is the cold front bewtween those 2 cities?

 

I am posting the wunderground link, you can see the temps in the surrounding cities as well towards the bottom:

For the record I am from Armonk in central/upper westchester, but just wanted to inquire on the above.

 

Thanks.

Ok so I checked multiple reporting sites around Albany and I have seen 4 different readings

35

41

54

61

That's pretty intense and it seems like the warm front is hung up over Albany. That's the only way that makes sense.

I think it has to do more with elevation and cold air drainage down the Hudson Valley.

 

Thanks yea maybe a combo of both.

If New York City's low temperature comes out at 60° or above (the figure for the day so far is 61°), today will mark the first day of meteorological and astronomical winter during which the temperature did not fall below 60°. The latest such date is currently November 27 (a low of 60° occurred on 11/27/1896) and the earliest such date is March 25 (a low of 61° occurred on 3/25/1913).

NYC Sets Winter Record High Minimum Temperature…

 

New York City had a low temperature of 61° on December 22, 2013. That is the first time during meteorological or astronomical winter that the temperature did not fall below 60°. The low temperature was 3.628σ above the normal low temperature for the date (1981-2010 baseline). The old record high minimum temperature during either meteorological or astronomical winter was 59°, which was achieved on January 4, 1950 and December 4, 1998.

 

The previous latest 60° or above low temperature before meteorological and astronomical winter had occurred on November 27, 1896 (60°). The previous earliest 60° or above low temperature after meteorological or astronomical winter had occurred on March 25, 1913 (61°).

 

New York City’s records go back to 1869.
