Thanks for the info Blue!

 

Ran some Hysplit backward trajectories last night after class, and I have to say I haven't seen a more favorable source region for potentially historic cold in the NE in quite some time.

Thanks for posting that great chart. This looks like the most impressive Arctic outbreak in quite some time here. There

are going to be some good temperature drops behind the departing storm on Sunday into Monday. The record lows

for Sunday look too low to challenge for NYC/LGA/EWR. But the potential is there after midnight into the early hours

of Monday to get near the record low temperature range since the records will be higher than Sunday.

That is the absolute perfect setup for cpk. Straight north source region. Bypassing the lakes like we haven't seen in numerous other outbreaks. Also funneling down the Hudson valley. This one looks legit to me

 

It's also impressive how late in the season that this potential is occurring compared to previous strong

Arctic outbreaks after 1979.

the ao is plus today but falling...the forecast isn't encouraging if you're looking for a negative ao...1957 and 1994 had zero readings with an ao +2 or higher...

Any lows of 5 degrees or under at Central Park from 2/15-2/28 isn't something that we have seen since 1987 and 1979.

 

Lows below 10 degrees at Central Park from 2/15-2/28 since 1979

you think we'll beat it Sunday night? Assuming we get a nice 4-6 inch powder?

 

The only thing you can say 96-120 hrs out in time conservatively is that it will probably go below 5 degrees in NYC.

Any more specific calls will probably have to wait until the weekend when the details of the of the CAA behind

the departing storm come into better focus.

If the avg. temp in Central Park Fri stays below 11F, it will be the coldest Feb day since 1979!  Sun is another candidate for this.

 

The current NWS forecast is for a daytime high of 14F and a low tonight of 6F.  The key will be getting the midnight temp down to around 15F.

 

Sun is another candidate for coldest Feb day since 1979.

 

The coldest Feb day in the last 80 years (since 1934) was 2/7/1958 with a mean temp of 8F.

Will we get a wind chill warning?

I hope not that's one weather event I can do without. An advisory is bad enough

I still think Sunday has a good shot at 5 or less. Even though 850s have trended somewhat warmer on the models the source region hasn't changed. That's some dense cold funneling down the Hudson. Ideal for CPK and the zoo keeper can't screw it up!!!
