CIK62 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 April now looks like a below normal temperature month. After one more warmup this month 24-27, temps head south along with average 500mb heights. Mean 500mb heights below the normal line for the entire month into May. Also more area under the normal for the ensemble output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 With this week having wound up warmer than had been indicated on the MOS, NYC remains on course for a much warmer than normal March (~5° above normal). The short period of colder than normal weather from this weekend into early next week won't alter that outcome, especially as a big rebound in temperatures appears likely afterward.

donsutherland1 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 After today's 43°-32° range, New York City has a monthly anomaly of 7.2° above normal. If the GFS MOS is reasonably accurate through March 27, it appears likely that New York City will finish with a monthly anomaly at or above 5° above normal.

Brian5671 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Now that's a wet pattern verbatim. It's been dry of late, only about an inch of rain locally IMBY over the last 3 weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 really? Cold rain and overcast is beautiful? We're moving into the historically wettest part of the entire year. Those 3-4" amounts that the GEFS spit out are only slightly above average. Besides, we're going to need the moisture with the projected hot and dry Summer ahead.

IsentropicLift Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Fair point. At least the strong Nina would be better for Hurricanes and you can't rule out something coming up this way when the ridge relaxes, like a 99' redux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Springs subsequent to the El Nino winter are often extremely wet around here...see April 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think it will be rather moist at times with the Gulf open for business. you keep posting this map and calling for wet periods and here we are with every major nyc area asos more than an inch below average for the month. stop.

So much for the warm ground crying yesterday. No problem accumulating at all, even on roads out here. Everything was snow covered. So let this be a lesson, if it snows hard enough and its cold enough, it doesnt matter how warm the ground was before hand. But it seems like this argument is repeated every year. Its incredible how people never learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
