The nightmare continues...

 

After today's 66° high temperature, New York City has a monthly temperature anomaly of 9.4° above normal.

Wasn't Sunday supposed to be the warmest day? Do you feel it still will be because forecasts trimmed highs a couple degrees (mid 60's) and call for mostly cloudy skies tomorrow.

It may fall short of today's readings by a degree or two unless there is a little sunshine. Central Park may have a shot, as the low probably will be very close to 60°.

The deep trough from Alaska into the Western US was similar to the previous record warm

December 2001. The only difference is on the Atlantic side. The AO was a much lower

-1.322 in 2001 and has been positive this December. Goes to show how a very

unfavorable Pacific can make a -AO patten very mild here.

From that graphic you can see why the entire 01-02 winter was disastrous. Just look at how powerful that death vortex was, which isn't the case right now. I guess that's some good news once we get into late Jan/Feb. 

yep-it locked in and we torched almost end to end.  I would have never guessed there was a -AO in 01-02

We don't flip before Jan 10 thru 15th . I would not be concerned about this winter lovers but rather enjoy it . The above N November and December were seen back in July .

You will be flipping into the heart of winter just as your normals are at their lowest and the analogs tell you it's your snowiest so even a plus 1 will feel cold.

This is NYC and if want /expect a wire to wire winter , move.

Just as we showed in the enso thread how this wasn't going to be 97, go back and look how that Oct Nov Dec acted , completely opposite of this. Temps were below N , we flip , but you are likely 3 to 4 weeks away.

(12x9.5) + (8x14) =  226degs. surplus as of morning of 21.    Target for a new monthly record is (6.8x31) = say 211   Therefore we will have 11 days to get rid of 15degs surplus in order to prevent this outcome.  Last 11 days of the month would need to be (15/11)degs. below normal.   With no below normal days indicated for remainder of month, you may begin to place your $$$$$ on the warmest Dec. ever.

We are on track to beat 2001 since it cooled off the second half of the month while the models bring back the +10

or more departures after the brief near normal next weekend.
