eco94 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Long time lurker here but the drought made me come out of the woodwork. JFK just had its first accumulating rain in nearly a month. Where is the rest of the precipitation for the next 36 hours coming from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been memorable days in the mid-upper 80s, but they had a much more "summer in autumn" type feel. Today, to me, was indistinguishable from mid July, if I didn't have a calendar handy. Agreed. Even out here it was oppressive. Felt like July. Unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Much of the region experienced its hottest October day on record. Records included: Allentown: 93° (new October record) Athens, GA: 98°(tied October record) Atlanta: 96° (new October record) Baltimore: 98° (new October record) ***59th 90° day ties record set in 2010*** Birmingham, AL: 103° (new October record) ***first annual high temperature in October; records go back to 1895*** Bridgeport: 87° Charlotte: 99° (new October record) Harrisburg: 93° Huntsville, AL: 100° (new October record) Islip: 89° (new October record) Lexington, KY: 96° Louisville: 96° Macon, GA: 98° Mobile, AL: 96° Montgomery, AL: 99° Nashville: 99° (new October record) New York City-Central Park: 93° New York City-JFK: 95° (new October record) New York City-LGA: 95° (new October record) Newark: 96° (new October record) Norfolk: 97° (new October record) Pensacola: 93° Philadelphia: 95° Poughkeepsie: 88° Raleigh: 96° Richmond: 98° Sterling, VA: 96° (new October record) Tuscaloosa, AL: 101°(new October record) Washington, DC: 98° (new October record) White Plains, NY: 90° (new October record) Wilmington, DE: 98° (new October record) Much cooler air is now pushing into the region. Tomorrow will likely see temperatures struggling to reach 60°. Overall, a 7-10 day period with readings generally near or below normal lies ahead. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.5°C for the week centered around September 25. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.73°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.07°C. The recent strong cooling in Region 1+2 indicates that the prospects for a neutral-cool ENSO during the winter have continued to increase. Since 1991 when weekly ENSO region data was available, five years have seen September record 2 or more weeks with -1.0°C or cooler weekly anomalies in Region 1+2: 1996, 1999, 2007, 2010, and 2017. 4/5 (80%) of those cases went on to feature warm December-February temperature anomalies in the Middle Atlantic and southern New England regions. Those cases include La Niña winters. However, the larger pool of neutral-cool ENSO winters, many of which predate the weekly ENSO regional data, have often featured frequent Atlantic blocking. For now, there is a mixed winter signal. The SOI was -11.93 today. Today, the preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.443. Since 1950, there have been five prior cases when the AO averaged -0.500 or below in both July and August: 1950, 1958, 1960, 1968, and 2015. The average temperature for September through November in New York City was 58.9° (59.6° adjusted). All cases featured a warmer than normal fall. The potential for autumn 2019 to rank among the 30 warmest cases on record has increased in recent weeks. For New York City, that would translate into a September-November mean temperature of at least 58.8°. Events during September, including the SOI's falling to -35.30 on September 19, the MJO's being in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 2.000 or above during the September 20-30 period for more than two days, the historic late September snowfall in Great Falls, MT, and the possible ongoing evolution toward a generally positive AO regime, favor a warmer than normal October based on past outcomes. On October 1, the MJO was in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 1.766 (RMM). The September 30-adjusted amplitude was 1.909. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, the implied probability of New York City having a warmer than normal October is approximately 58%. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Next 8 days are averaging 61degs., or about 1deg. AN. (used 70/54 for today). I reached about 93 yesterday, after I got back from beach. My surrogate official station is JFK, where it was 95, so 93 might have been low. 60.4* at 6am. 59.7* by 8am. 58.2* by 11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It'll finally feel more like fall next few days and then they'll be more ups and downs. However nothing will come close to the heat we've experienced. Hints at more -NAO blocking mid month could signal much stormier weather. Currently 56F down from 94F yesterday.

bluewave Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Looks like we have the strongest +IOD since the 97-98 super El Niño. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/ The very strong positive Indian Ocean Dipole event persists, characterised by cooler waters to the northwest of Australia and warmer waters further west. Values of the IOD index over the past fortnight have strengthened, and the latest value of +1.76 °C is the strongest positive weekly value since at least 2001.

The IOD is just 1 piece of the puzzle going forward this year. How will the IOD interact with the ENSO? + IOD events usually occur with with El Niño’s. We currently also have a more Nino-like -SOI. There is a very strong +PMM and +NPM. While ENSO is currently neutral, some warming has been occurring in recent weeks. What if any influence will it have in the MJO? What about the stratosphere and phase of the NAO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
