marsplex Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I intuitively feel a warming or "normal" trend in the last few days of March. A few degrees cooler than normal but spring is at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just no repeats of a few years back when it was 40's and rain on memorial day.. I forget what year but im sure someone knows.That was last year. About as anommolise as you can get.Water temps (near shore) the frozen Great Lakes and the prevelance of visits from the PV scream cold spring. It's going to be a ruff April along the coast. The good news is even after the late winter/spring of 1888 which was insanely cold summer still came! If this next storm is OTS I'm all about spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Days like today are pretty nasty on an east wind, only around 40-41 with a stiff breeze and cloudy skies. We will see more days like these for early to mid Spring as the waters will take time to warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Looks like a cool early spring followed by who knows what. I've a feeling real warm weather might be hard to come by until later in May. I hope that is wrong. At least the odds of a repeat of last year with a few wet snowflakes on Memorial Day weekend are extremely low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Long island and spring..isn't that an oxymoron? Depends. When the backdoor fronts come, it definitely becomes miserable. You can sometimes see the stratus bank coming from off the ocean into the awesome 70 degree sunny sky and just want to run away, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 And often the north shore/along the spine of the Island is fine while the south shore is miserable -- Can't tell you how many times I'd leave the office by Roosevelt field mall, hardly the north shore, where it was 70 blue skies and beautiful, then heading south on the Meadowbrook it would look dark and grey in the distance and sure enough once south of the southern state pkwy it would be mid 50s damp and drizzly. Would call my wife from the parking lot before leaving the office I'd say its beautiful out and she be like 'what are you talking about?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC Weather Lover Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 And often the north shore/along the spine of the Island is fine while the south shore is miserable -- Can't tell you how many times I'd leave the office by Roosevelt field mall, hardly the north shore, where it was 70 blue skies and beautiful, then heading south on the Meadowbrook it would look dark and grey in the distance and sure enough once south of the southern state pkwy it would be mid 50s damp and drizzly. Would call my wife from the parking lot before leaving the office I'd say its beautiful out and she be like 'what are you talking about?' Anyone please correct me if i'm wrong. Here's my explanation: Either it's a crazy weather day when one part of the region experiences completely different conditions than the rest, or it's a fog-like effect off the Atlantic ocean during late spring and summer. Scenario number 2 is much more probable. I remember when I was driving down to the beach one day to see a concert, I was traveling south on the wantagh parkway and the weather went from beautiful blue skies to cloudy and foggy and cooler. Winds from the south and southeast bring the fog in, and since the south shore is obviously closer south they get the fog first. It depends on how strong the winds are to bring the fog further north. If you get a strong northwesterly wind, the fog will retreat and it will return nice and sunny again along the south shore. And on the north shore, the eastern part of the LI sound is more subject to get fog than the western end due to the same reason. The easterly wind component brings in the fog further east. The westerly wind component makes the fog retreat out to sea. If you're sure it's not fog, then it's probably just a wacky weather day. But a sea breeze does make it treamendoulsy cooler on the south shore during spring and summer. As far as the cloudy part of it, it's probably clouds mixed with fog, but it could just be that the southern part of LI gets clipped by some systems and the northern part does not.

The differences on Long Island tend to be a bit less extreme that queens I do recall a day LGA was 94 and JFK 67 at one point, best contrast I recall though was a back door front once where Montauk was 48 and NYC 84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would call my wife from the parking lot before leaving the office I'd say its beautiful out and she be like 'what are you talking about?' Pretty par for the course during spring for the low cloud area to be south of the southern state with any south in the flow. Once north of the southern state you see the clouds start to break up. I have noticed on the down sloping side of the north shore moraine that you can break out into clear sky's on those type of days. Temps across the island are going to be way cooler then Manhattan no matter where you are. On sw flow days LGA is tucked in enough to escape the cooler temps. Another pretty cool situation during mid summer is when you get Dews near actual temps and an intense low level fog/haze that can bring visibility down to near zero right at the beach. After 15 summers life guarding at jones beach these days are fairly common. The cool part is this fog doesn't really extend much more then 100 feet above surface. Based on the jones beach water tower which is 203 feet tall the top half is in the clear. We should see plenty of back door fronts and marine layer type situations this spring. When it's cold right into April fog is a sure bet. The water will be in the 70s by August as it always is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsplex Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 So it looks like us here on Long Island are looking at some snow. The buzz word right now its "eastern Long Island" but i think thats a subjective phrase depending where on LI you live. To me eastern LI is Riverhead, Hampton Bays, Orient.

Mikehobbyst Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Don't look at the extended, but it looks like the next few weeks are on track for rain and 38-42 degree highs in an endless cut-off blocked pattern, that probably goes through mid May for the coast, and then hot summer weather moves in by June, which will probably be hottest month, with July and August not as hot temps.
