donsutherland1 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Morning thoughts... Today will be mostly cloudy. There will also be periods of rain, especially during the afternoon. It will be cooler than yesterday. High temperatures will likely reach the middle and upper 50s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 56° Newark: 57° Philadelphia: 59° Tomorrow and Friday will be much warmer days.

I've always thought that part of the city had more natural conditions. The other area is near JFK or possibly parts of Staten Island. Bayside might work. Southern Queens is probably more affected by the sea breeze than most of the City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's early to mid afternoon most of us could get over 70. The 0z Euro was even more aggressive with the warming for Long Island with the WSW afternoon wind shift. Now has 70s away from the immediate South Shore beaches. That would result in steeper low level lapse rates and wind gust potential over 50 mph. We will have to watch for that sting jet-like feature behind the front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a marginal get hoisted for if any convection can be along the front as well, should easily mix winds down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 1 hour ago, bluewave said: The weak low that almost had subtropical characteristics will bring some much needed rains today. The models have elevated convection with locally heavy downpour potential. This tucked in low track looks similar to the tropical systems last summer that affected the area. More of the same on tap for this year? Stay tuned.... The area between the main tracks just north east of the Bahamas should be primed with OHC this season. Majors create so much upwelling the can effect OHC for several seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snow at all in January and March. That’s why 1995-1996 remains the undisputed seasonal snowfall champion. Even with our snowier climate since 2003, it’s been too difficult to get more than 2 months with 10”+ snowfall during any given season in NYC. 2010-2011 may have come closest if we could have kept the snowy pattern going another month or so. 1995-1996 was the last time NYC had 4 months with 10”+ snowfall and 2 with 20”+ in a single season. Part of the issue is that winters have become warmer since the snowfall increase in 2002-2003. So we can’t get the extended cold from late November to April like we had that year. It’s also very difficult to get a perfect Atlantic and Pacific blocking pattern for such a long duration like we had in 1995-1996. 10”+ snowfall months bolded Monthly Total Snowfall for NY CITY CENTRAL PARK, NY Click column heading to sort ascending, click again to sort descending.

No snow at all in January and March. February was one of the best hardcore winter months we've ever had though. Very rare to have snow on the ground for 4 weeks straight in this area. That, combined with the fact that we had a nice December snowstorm, puts this winter in the *very good* category for me. Even though January was bad. 40 inches is a very good winter. I had 44 here, to be exact. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of our big winters feature a short but big dump of snow. 2010-11 is another year it all came within about 30 days.

wdrag Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 On the GFSv16 upgrade: Unsure if this is anywhere in American Weather. Below from Phys.org US weather model upgraded to better forecast extreme events by Seth Borenstein In this Monday, March 15, 2021 file photo, snow covers vehicles parked along Second Avenue after a powerful late winter storm dumped more than 2 feet of snow in Denver. The storm shut down major roadways, canceled school and closed the state legislature. On Monday, March 22, 2021, the National Weather Service upgraded its forecast model, with an eye on predicting extreme weather events better and faster. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski) The National Weather Service has turbocharged its lagging forecast model to better predict extreme weather events such as hurricanes, blizzards and downpours, as well as day-to-day weather. By including much higher layers of the atmosphere, increased factoring of ocean waves and other improvements, the weather service's update to its Global Forecast System is trying to catch up with a European weather model that many experts consider superior. Tests for the past two years show the upgrade, which kicked in Monday, forecast heavy rains and snowfall 15% better five days out and improved hurricane and tropical storm tracks by more than 10%, better pinpointing storm formation five to seven days in advance. Forecasters say this new model does not predict more rain and snow than actually arrives, which its predecessor had a tendency to do. The new model was significantly better at forecasting the massive Colorado snowstorm earlier this month, getting the storm arrival time and snow amounts far more accurately than the older version, said Vijay Tallapragada, chief of modeling at the agency's Environmental Modeling Center. Internal studies also showed the new model was generally more accurate earlier on downpours in the Southeast in February 2020, Hurricane Dorian in 2019 and Hurricane Michael in 2018. "This is for the general day-to-day forecasting and for the extreme events, and you've got to get both right," said National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini. One main improvement is that the new model captures the atmosphere up to 50 miles high (80 kilometers)—far higher than the old one and has higher resolution at different levels, weather service officials said. This way it better characterizes the jet stream, which transports storms, they said. Over the past 31 days, there was a stretch of eight straight days when this new version beat the highly-touted European forecast model, but in general over the period the European version was still better, Uccellini said. "Extreme weather events are becoming stronger and happening more often in a changing climate," said Bernadette Woods Placky, chief meteorologist at Climate Central's Climate Matters program, who wasn't part of the upgrade. "Weather forecasting improvements that increase accuracy and warning time will give people more time to prepare and will save lives." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 No thread initiation by myself, since confidence on anything more than scattered G 43KT for 3/26, 29, 4/1-2 is below average. It will be windy at times. Go for it if you're confident, especially if systems amp up to sfc G50-55 kt potential, in our subforum. No leafout yet, probably favors a little lower chance of wind damage problems but wet ground may compensate for easier uproots. Still think we need to see more wind in the surface based instability part of the sounding. Events previously the past 12 months had about 75-90kt at 850MB, and 10m winds around 40kt along the LI coasts, with EC modeled sfc G all showing 50kt+.
