This big diurnal temperature range with very low humidity is more common for the Western US. Parts of NJ that dipped into the upper 30's this morning are around 80. That's how anomalous all this high pressure at the surface and aloft has been here.

A 39 degrees swing for me today from this morning, on the way back down now. 

 

Close here - 38F diurnal. Went from 40 to 78 today, and now down to 55F already. More akin to the interior West (a place like Grand Canyon at 6,000ft comes to mind - often in the 30s/40s by night and near 80 by day in the warm season).

We should be well down into the 40s again tonight with the sfc ridge overhead and concomitant low dew points. 

The foliage is actually brightening up quite a bit here now, especially on the maples, due to these cold nights/warm sunny days.

Shocker, as the event draws closer precipitation amounts go down. This has been the trend for months.

i never have high hopes for heavy amounts from squall lines in this area. i do think we'll get a strong line but not enough for 1" +

That's fine, but it's not because the majority of the country is just flooded with warm air. Model guidance is heavily favoring an evolution to a dual blocking +pna pattern over the next week. It is initially centered more over the Midwest and lakes but shifts east. So those warm numbers will occur out ahead of the large full latitude trough slowly transitioning east, but the times they are a changing and by months end into early November it's a shock change into late fall/early winter in the east.

Made it to 78 here Saturday which was a record for the date...am low of 47.

 

 

40F to 78F yesterday, and down to 41F this morning. 37-38 degree diurnal ranges, very impressive for this part of the country. Foliage is finally becoming more lurid as a result here.

10/22 00Z ECM has 3.26 QPF total thru D10

 

1/2 of that falls Tue/Wed (10/24 - 10/25) and the other half falls 10/30-10/31

Nice to see the Euro bump precipitation amounts back up, curious to see what the 12z runs do today. The GFS has also increased amounts as well especially for Tues/Wed.

Just a matter of time for the EC which will be sandwiched between the deep trough over the Midwest and WAR pushing up along the EC.  We'll see how much we can cash in.  Halloween 9 days out but looks unsettled.

Tbh it's more of a transient change to normal than anything. I think our torch is locked.
