donsutherland1 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Through the first 15 days of October, New York City had a mean temperature of 66.2°, ranking that period the 11th warmest 10/1-15 period on record. Records go back to 1869. Since then, the temperature has averaged 51.0°. Given the latest guidance, it is likely that the 10/16-31 period will rank among the 10 coldest on record. The 10 coldest 10/16-31 periods are: 1. 46.8°, 1940 2. 47.3°, 1886 3. 47.5°, 1925 and 1976 5. 47.7°, 1888 6. 48.1°, 1887 7. 48.6°, 1882 8. 48.7°, 1907 9. 48.8°, 1879 10. 49.0°, 2002 Applying sensitivity analysis to the guidance, the implied probability of a mean 10/16-31 average temperature of 49.0° or below was 60%. The implied probability of a 10/16-31 mean temperature below 46.8° was 36%. Looking at the larger record, 13 years had a mean temperature below 50° for the 10/16-31 period. Select snowfall data for the subsequent winters is below: Mean snowfall: 35.0” Median snowfall: 32.9” Least snowfall: 16.5”, 1888-89 Most snowfall: 60.4”, 1922-23 Frequency of Select Outcomes (13 cases with a 10/16-31 mean temperature < 50°): < 20” snow: 8% (historic frequency: 32%) 30” or more snow: 62% (historic frequency: 41%) 40” or more snow: 31% (historic frequency: 24%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Wave Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 12z GFS really tones down the November warmup. The ridge is much flatter. Still past 240 hours though, which is the point where GFS temp forecasts seem to become more accurate and consistent run to run. E: Also worth noting that the GEFS continues to show only a minor moderation of temps during the first week of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Wave Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 OP GFS still not showing any signs of a sustained warmup at any point in its run, but GEFS looks similar to the EPS although surface temps only look to be marginally above average.

donsutherland1 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Over the past two days, the guidance has moved aggressively toward paring back the magnitude of the cold that the models had suggested would predominate during the closing week of October. As a result, the implied probability for an October 16-31 period with a mean temperature of 49° or below has tumbled from 60% to 34%. That period could average within 0.5° of 50°, which is still remarkably cool for cases when the first 15 days of October had a mean temperature of 65° or above. The implied probability for October’s having an above normal monthly anomaly is currently 76% (estimated range: 57.2°-58.6°). Going into November, there are growing indications that the first half of the month could see the pattern turn warmer than normal as the trough retreats to the center of the CONUS and ridging tries to take hold in the East. The EPS weekly forecast favors a continuation of below normal temperatures through most of the first half of November, but the possible rise in the AO, decline in the PNA, and near neutral to somewhat positive EPO favor an evolution toward the kind of milder pattern that has predominated for the most part during the autumn. However, the warmth likely won’t be as extreme relative to normal as it had been. The latest CFSv2 weekly forecast is particularly aggressive with the return to warmer anomalies. Taking into consideration the preponderance of the guidance and teleconnection forecast, the odds likely favor an evolution to a milder pattern during the first half of November. This could favor November’s winding up somewhat warmer than normal as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be ridiculously cold today if it were January. Highs in the 20s lows in the teens type of weather. But we would all be freaking out over the low track this weekend as it would most likely be a snow to rain event for our entire region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coldest days of the cool down couldn't match the magnitude of the warmest departure days.

donsutherland1 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Previously, the forecast state of the teleconnectiions suggested that the upcoming storm's heaviest precipitation would likely miss the Philadelphia to New York City corridor. Instead, areas on Long Island and New England would have a better chance at seeing 1" or more precipitation. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/51583-october-2018-discussions-observations-thread/?do=findComment&comment=5006049 The caveat was that the event was still 9-12 days away and that much could change (as often happens in the guidance). Now that the event is less than 48 hours away, the details are coming into place. The general idea that the heaviest precipitation would wind up in the area suggested by a probabalistic look at the teleconnection indices (parts of Long Island and New England) still looks reasonable. However, a widespread area of 1"-1.5" rain appears likely. That area includes Philadelphia to New York City. However, the region most likely to see 1.5" or more extends from eastern Suffolk County, across eastern Massachusetts and then parts of Maine (10/25 12z GFS). Select GFS figures: Baltimore: 1.7” Bangor: 1.9” Boston: 1.7” Harrisburg: 1.4” Montauk Point: 2.0” New York City: 1.5” Newark: 1.5” Philadelphia: 1.3” Plymouth: 2.9” Washington, DC: 1.7” Select NAM figures: Baltimore: 0.8” Bangor: 0.8” Boston: 1.2” Harrisburg: 0.9” Montauk Point: 1.4” New York City: 0.9” Newark: 0.9” Philadelphia: 0.7” Plymouth: 1.6” Washington, DC: 0.9” Those rainfall totals will add to the excessive precipitation that has fallen across parts of the Middle Atlantic region this year. Select figures through 10/24: Baltimore: 55.72” (7th highest annual figure) Harrisburg: 51.47” (8th highest annual figure) New York City: 50.05” (33rd highest annual figure) Philadelphia: 44.92” (45th highest annual figure) Richmond: 52.50” (16th highest annual figure) Scranton: 50.05” (3rd highest annual figure) Washington, DC: 51.64” (13th highest annual figure) Wilmington, NC: 87.46” (highest annual figure on record) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NycStormChaser Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The NAM must be off its rocker. I do not see how this would verify. I'd assume since the model includes sleet, that is what it is picking up because temps do not support snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Reminder of Oct. averaging 53degs. , or just NORMAL. Month to date is +2.0[59.8]. Should end month at +1.6[58.5]. All 8 days averaging 55degs., or about 3degs. AN. RRWT warning of a record hot Nov., with BN coming late, but maybe holding. Something to wait for anyway.
