RedSky Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 72F currently perfect May day... Quite a dry month of February locally it's not too often one can walk in the yard this time of year and kick up powder. Really need some rain storms to start hitting instead of tracking far west.

pazzo83 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 So 3 of the last 4 winters have hit 70+. I guess this is the new normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masomenos Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 This heat is definitely up there with March '12 and December '16 for intensity. Not too often the NYC area has the same temp as Miami during February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mild Denver in March style winters have become the new norm the last few years. Definitely a spring in the Rockies flavor to our recent winter climate with warmth and snow coexisting.

It's more of a southerly flow than a sea breeze, if it was a sea breeze the temps would be in the 50's across the island, they are in the mid to high 60's. Once the southerly winds are over the warm ground for 3-4 miles, the air warms right back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the effect is more pronounced near the South Shore as usual where it's only 50.

So you have the heavier and denser maritime air sliding under the warmer air (inversion). Southerly flow is a bit different. Remember, we have had south winds all day. If this was a sea breeze, with a south wind the whole island would be in the 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was a sea breeze, with a south wind the whole island would be in the 50s. What do you think happened today? The whole island didn't t stay in the 50's today since the influence of the sea breeze is stronger closer to the ocean. Having south winds all day doesn't preclude a sea breeze. Notice how the winds increased today as the land began to heat and many highs were reached closer to noon before the cooling influence of the ocean kicked in.

We warmed close to the rest of the island during the morning hours only to level off in the high 50s around noon and then fall. All the time with increasing onshore wind. Pretty much text book sea breeze pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
