CIK62 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The next 8 days are averaging 43degs., (35/50), or about +2.0. No precipitation till mid-month when some of it may be snow. The 18th. could be as cold as today, after the jump up to visit the 70's on the 12th,13th. 23*(45%RH) here at 6am. (was 28* at midnite) 32* by Noon. 38* by4pm. 35* by 9pm.

bluewave Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Euro coming in even warmer now for next week. Has the first 60s of the year by next Tuesday. Then it has a chance for some of the warmer spots to reach 70° by later next week. Looks like the big AO rise will really amp up the SE Ridge for a while. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Morning thoughts... Today will be mostly sunny and unseasonably cold. Temperatures will likely top out mainly in the middle and upper 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 36° Newark: 37° Philadelphia: 38° A dry but cool weekend lies ahead. Next week will likely see the arrival of the warmest weather so far this season. Cooler weather could develop near or after mid-month. Snow statistics for the March 16-31, 1991-2020 base period: New York City: Average: 1.7”; 53% cases with measurable snow; 23% cases with 4” or more; most snow: 9.4”, 1992 Philadelphia: Average: 1.2”; 43% cases with measurable snow; 10% cases with 4” or more; most snow: 7.6”, 2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Florida on vacation and flew home the next day. Newark Liberty was open (likely running on backup power) but the lights were still out at home, so we dropped our bags off and found an open restaurant to keep cool in. Interestingly, the outage was more sporadic in my area. Some people never lost power. ‘77 was definitely a bad one. Lots of tension from the Son of Sam killings and the city was in economic turmoil. A lot of frustration spilled over when the blackout happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low heights over Canada guarantee BDCF by mid-late Match. Looks like MJO will get into the cooler phases and possibly traverse 8-2.

Spring is the slowest warming season for us since 1981. So our springs usually feature a back and forth between warm and cool. But the warmer temperatures still have won out.

And 2002 had that amazing three day heatwave in April to match 1976 but unlike 1976 we had a very hot and dry summer that lasted well into September! Weird that summer is heating up faster than spring is (maybe because of warm mins) since theoretically summer anomalies in the positive direction should be the most difficult to obtain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 With the Arctic Oscillation (AO) poised to rise sharply, the latest EPS ensembles continue to suggest a short period in the medium-range where the 500 mb height anomalies are reasonably similar to those that prevailed in the means during the March 9-15, 2020 period. AO: March 9-15, 2020: Average: +3.366 High: +3.993 Low: +2.728 That was a very warm period. Select temperature data: Boston: Average High: 56.9° Average Low: 37.3° Mean: 47.0° Highest: 72° New York City: Average High: 60.7° Average Low: 45.0° Mean: 52.9° Highest: 72° Philadelphia: Average High: 63.6° Average Low: 43.1° Mean: 53.4° Highest: 74° The March 11-13 period could see the highest maximum and minimum temperatures. Some daily record high minimum and maximum temperature records could be challenged if the warmer guidance prevails. There remains a distinct possibility that the second half of March could see additional measurable snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The AO reversal in February continues to set records. This is the first February with a daily -5 reading and only a monthly -1 average. The previous -5 drops in 2010, 1978, and 1969 all had -3 and lower monthly averages. https://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/cwlinks/norm.daily.ao.index.b500101.current.ascii https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/monthly.ao.index.b50.current.ascii.table 2021 -2.484 -1.191 2010 -2.587 -4.266 1978 -0.347 -3.014 1969 -2.967 -3.114 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
