How did this event last so long, I was shocked at the heavy rain last night, I thought this was basically a frontal passage and would end during the day.

The super high winds this morning shocked me too

 

It was a 2 part event. Morning warm front followed by evening cold front. Most impressive rains here were with the morning warm front.

I must've slept through that I found the rains in the evening much heavier and then the high winds kicked in.  I found the morning rains just light- what time were the heaviest rains in the morning?  I woke up around 11.

Morning thoughts...

Clouds will break and it will become partly to mostly sunny. It will also be breezy. 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): 55°

Newark: 56°

Philadelphia: 57°

Tomorrow will be fair and somewhat milder. A strong cold shot is likely at the start of April.

it was before then for sure where you are-it hit around here at 10:30 and went for a good hour or so of heavy rains-then just mist and fog the rest of the day

strange it did not happen in 2002-03

 

In October 2002, the lowest temperature in New York City was 36°, on October 24. Prior to the 32° temperature on October 31, 2020, New York City had not seen an October freeze since October 31, 1988 when the temperature fell to 31°.

I do remember a trace of snow in October 2002, it must have happened with temps in the mid 30s.

And wow that is a long interval with temps of freezing or lower in October!

That includes the October snowstorm in 2011!  I wonder if that was the most snow NYC has ever seen in a storm in which the temperature never got to freezing or below?

if NYC gets below freezing in April it will be the first time since 1977 that NYC got to freezing from Oct to April...

1976-77, 1975-76, 1974-75 and , 1969-70 did it...

This is one of those rare times that an October minimum temperature departure was lower than the whole DJF winter. 10-31 had a -14 low temperature departure in NYC. The winter lowest temperature departure was -13 on 1-29.

NYC's highest snowfall with a temperature above freezing occurred on April 2, 2018 when 5.5" snow fell.

Tomorrow will be fair and a bit milder. Overall, the remainder of March will continue to see generally warmer than normal readings.

April could start out on the cold side, but moderation should occur later in the first week of the month. Historic experience following a warm to very warm March suggests a probability that is skewed toward a warmer than normal April. The warmer scenario remains the base case.
 
The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.9°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.6°C for the week centered around March 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.15°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.67°C. La Niña conditions will likely give way to neutral-cool ENSO conditions as the spring progresses.

The SOI was +0.62 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +2.703 today.

On March 27 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 1.424 (RMM). The March 26-adjusted amplitude was 1.093 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March. March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 45.6° (3.1° above normal).

We all know what the Summer of 1977 was like in NYC.

Do you think we can beat that in April?

Morning thoughts...

Today will be partly to mostly sunny and mild. High temperatures will likely reach the lower and middle 60s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 62°

Newark: 65°

Philadelphia: 68°

Rain will arrive late tomorrow as a strong cold front approaches and moves across the region. An area running from upstate New York up the St. Lawrence River in Quebec could pick up a moderate to significant snowfall. Following the frontal passage, an unseasonably cold air mass will move into the East for the first two days of April. New York City could see its first April freeze since April 9, 2018 when the temperature fell to. 32°. Some near record to record low temperatures are possible on Friday in the Gulf States and Southeast.

It looks like the coastal storm track is the reason it wont snow to the coast.....hugger track, Don?  If it was 150 miles farther east, the situation would be different.

Don, that previous last April freeze was a week after the snowstorm we had that April?
