CPcantmeasuresnow Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If it hasn't been already, it should be noted by someone that yesterday, (Tax Day, Jackie Robinson Day and the 150th anniversary of the death of our greatest president Abraham Lincoln), April 15, 2015 marked the first day to reach 70° in NYC since last October 29, 2014 a string of 167 consecutive days. We failed to top the streak from two years ago when New York City saw 174 consecutive days without reaching 70°. That streak began on October 15, 2012 and ended on April 8, 2013. Neither came anywhere near the all-time record, (Uncle W what is the all time record?) but an impressive streak regardless. I know most people were looking forward to warmer days but I hate it when any streak ends. RIP Honest Abe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Saturday continues to look like it will be the warmest day of the spring so far with highs from 75 to around 80 degrees in spots on a warm downslope flow.The mixed layer is fairly deep so we could see wind gusts in the 25-35 mph range with the front later in the day.

IsentropicLift Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Models ticked slightly East overnight, now with the heaviest rains along the NJ coast and points northeast. Still looks good for around 2" of rain areawide. WPC is forecasting the wettest stretch of the Spring so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I know, a month or two to late. We broke the record for most +NAO days from January 1st through April 15h with only a single negative day. The last time the NAO saw a dip below -1 was October 17th. So you had to know that we had see a drop at some point and the trough signal in the Northeast looks pretty strong for later in the month. Some areas especially N and W of NYC could see lows in the 30's for late April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The upcoming pattern is what we always fear would hold off until Spring, but hopefully it doesn't last too long. I definitely think we could see a frost/freeze with this away from the city and coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember April 1976 very well. It was in the 20's a few days before NYC hit 96 and then fell to lows in the 30's after that. Can you remember the trace of snow during May 1977? I was too young at the time for it to stand out in my memory but there was plenty of tree damage in the interior NE. http://wintercenter.homestead.com/photomay1977.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 13 years ago on this date...96 degrees, hard to believe. Yeah, no winter to speak of followed by spring heat and a blazing hot summer. That winter was a record for me going for walks and bike rides on the Long Beach boardwalk. You knew something was up when numerous people were jogging in shorts that winter.

Where I lived in Orange County we received 2 or 3 inches, on May 10th with everything pretty much greened up that was a bizarre sight. Of course 10 years later we had the October 3, 1987 storm which seemed to take down the tops of every tree in the HV. Parts of Dutchess county had well over a foot of snow, in Orange County we had anywhere from 2-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole year was an unusual one with the record winter cold and May snow. Summer was essentially a 9 day heatwave in mid July with mostly comfortable temperatures before and after it. But everyone remembers it since it was when the famous NYC blackout occurred. I will never forget watching TV on LI at the time and having all off the TV stations go off the air as our power remained on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's getting a lot easier to hit 70F now with the ever increasing sun angle. I think we could add a few degrees to the highs next week as well due to heating but cold air aloft will probably mean a lot of instability showers/hail and clouds. Confident we hit first 80 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The temps should rise very quickly today on the warm downslope flow to the upper 70's around 80 NYC and the low 80's from Central NJ to Newark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will be that cool but days of highs in the 50s and lows in the mid to upper 30s seem very possible. The coolest weather this time of year comes off an east wind with strong onshore flow so despite a blocking pattern, temps won't be terribly cool on N/NW winds.
