bluewave Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Only the 9th year on record that NYC made it to 60 degrees or warmer during the first week of February. First time ever after dropping to 2 degrees during the last week of January. The previous coldest last week of January temperature was 17 in 1988 and 1991. http://wxweb.meteostar.com/meteogram/link.shtml?choice=Knyc 1 1991-02-07 70 0 2 2008-02-07 68 0 - 1890-02-07 68 0 4 1989-02-07 67 0 5 2012-02-07 62 0 - 2006-02-07 62 0 - 1988-02-07 62 0 8 1916-02-07 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpruf Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Clouds of knats flying about near my front door. This is ridiculous. At this rate we can start thinking of Feb as a spring month. Last year it either reached or got up to 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is I do see us getting snow but anyone saying guidance will be spot on after what we have been through this winter, I say give pause and not make definitives. At this point I’m unwilling to go much beyond a 5 day. We saw how drastically even the MJO forecast has been. What’s to say that won’t be the case again in a few days. I’m not trying to play Devil’s advocate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weather makes you feel alive again. It makes you feel alive in late March or April. In early Feb it makes you wonder what is going so radically wrong. And it's not just this winter; I've seen temps into the 60's, 70's, and last 80 in midwinter for quite some time now, going back a ways.....but i don't remember seeing them in the 70's or 80's very often, if at all.

qg_omega Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 On 2/3/2019 at 6:21 PM, donsutherland1 said: Readings around the New York City area surged into the 50s today. Additional springlike warmth is on tap for tomorrow. The SOI was +0.24 today. As the MJO approaches a low amplitude in Phase 7 or heads back to Phase 6, the historical data favors positive values. However, there have been some exceptions. The Arctic Oscillation (AO) continues to rise quickly from its February 1 minimum of -3.537. Today's preliminary value was -1.977. The preliminary average for meteorological winter is -0.379. On February 2, the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 1.272 (RMM). That amplitude had fallen from the February 1-adjusted figure of 1.547. There remains some uncertainty about the MJO's progression. However, as most of the guidance had indicated, the MJO's amplitude is now declining. There remains a distinct possibility that the MJO could fall to low amplitude or return to Phase 6 in coming days. Afterward, it should return to Phase 7. Phase 6 at a high amplitude and Phase 7 at low amplitude typically favor a positive AO. As a result, the AO will likely continue to rise in the coming days. There remains strong ensemble consensus for this rise and growing consensus for the AO's reaching positive values in about 3-7 days. Much this week will likely feature above to much above normal readings in the region. Before the week is finished, there is a possibility that the temperature could flirt with 60° in New York City. However, colder air should return during coming weekend. There remains a possibility that a predominantly colder than normal regime could then lock in for at least a 2-3 week period, especially as the EPO is expected to go negative and blocking could redevelop. Many record warm temperatures today across the Northeast with more to come, already outpaced the record cold and we have many days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
