Forky is correct with our rain chances next week. The ridge is keeping the storm to far to our nw  to affect us or any interaction with the off shore low until it's up by sne. 

 

Instead we get a dry cold front, but looks to bring in some chilly air next weekend

That rain last week couldn't really ease the drought conditions as all stations are running a rainfall deficit for the month so far.

Average rainfall for the whole month of October around the region is close to 4.40.

NYC...0.78...-1.53

LGA..0.62....-1.38

JFK..1.35....-0.60

ISP...1.37...-0.60

BDR..1.37...-074

EWR..0.66..-1.23

At least you guys got that rainfall, dry up here. I'm fine with it staying dry in the short term to help keep the foliage on the trees but come next month let's hope we can turn the faucet back on.

Check out the record heat in the source region for the big warm up over the MA and NE this week.

 

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
714 PM CST SUN OCT 16 2016

...RECORD-SHATTERING DAY ACROSS THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES...

New record high temperatures were set at all three of the ASOS
(Automated Surface Observing System) climate sites in the Texas
Panhandle on October 16, 2016.

A new record high temperature of 98 degrees set in Amarillo today.
This breaks the old record of 91 which was set in 1991.

A new record high temperature of 101 degrees was set in Borger
today. This breaks the old record of 91 which was set in 1991.

A new record high temperature of 96 degrees was set in Dalhart
today. This breaks the old record of 90 which was set in 1991.

EACH OF THESE DAILY RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES WAS ALSO A RECORD HIGH
FOR OCCURRING SO LATE IN THE SEASON.

In Amarillo, the previous latest calendar day for 98 degrees to be
reached was in 2000 when 99 degrees was reached on October 3, 2000,
13 days earlier on the calendar.

In Borger, the previous latest calendar day for 101 degrees to be
reached was when 101 degrees was reached on September 14, 2015, a
full 32 days earlier on the calendar.

In Dalhart, (until yesterday`s record high of 96) the previous
latest calendar day for 96 degrees to be reached was when 96 degrees
was reached on October 3, 2000.

The new record of 101 at Borger sets a new monthly record high for
October. The old record had been 100, which was set on October 3,
2000.

The new record of 96 at Dalhart ties the monthly high record for
October.

Yeah, that's a bit worse than me. I don't have my annual deficit available but I've had 1.55 since Sept 1 and .25 since Oct 1

Some of the NYC reservoirs are running pretty low. But other larger ones are doing better lowering the overall deficit.

The Wallkill is the lowest that I've seen it at my house, the level at Gardiner is 1.63' which is close to the third lowest record of 1.59' back on 8/14/66. 

So used to seeing it "raging" where 208 crosses in Walden. Crazy we can literally walk across without getting our knees wet

Feels muggy...this warmup is coming with some humidity also. Some stations may be close to warmest for so late in the season the next couple of days...Warmest its been here so late is 81 degrees, suspect we break that.

I noticed that too.  It definitely has a slight muggy feeling out there.
