nzucker Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Today's Highs; NYC: 86 EWR:87 LGA: 84 JFK: 86 Amazing what downsloping will do: here in the northern Poconos/Endless Mountains, the nearest official station in Monticello reported a high of 75F. Being both higher and farther north than Monticello, my high temperature was probably in the 73-74F range. Difficult to believe it was that warm around the City today, but NW winds will do the trick. It's always a dramatic difference in late summer/early fall cold fronts between the mountains and the coastal areas. There isn't enough CAA to offset downsloping compressional warming on the coast, but higher elevations feel the chill from the cooling 850s and northerly winds out of Canada. I had to close the windows in my room last night as temperatures bottomed out near 50F, and the same will be true this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Not true...there have been some late August early Sept that had highs only near 70 as a strong front changed the seasons seemingly overnight I meant warm in absolute temperatures, not relative to normal. It is subjective, but I still consider 70s "warm". My point was that it's a very rare occasion to not feel warm in the late August period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that it's a very rare occasion to not feel warm in the late August period. some el nino Augusts had very cool late month temperatures...fall came early in late August 1940, 1963, 1965, 1976, 1982 and 1986...this year's warm August is similar to 1968 and 1969...both had above average warmth into September...1972 had a mild September...

Juliancolton Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Some clouds got in the way, but here is the Aurora borealis as seen from the Catskills last evening. Wow, very nice. The IMF was pretty underwhelming when I went to bed, so I didn't think much of it. Hopefully that big active solar region produces something decent before rotating off the center, but it actually looks like it's decreasing in magnetic complexity as the biggest spots migrate away from each other.
