donsutherland1 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Henri moved away from the region after producing the highest 3-day summer rainfall on record in Central Park. During August 21-23, 8.19" of rain was measured. That easily surpassed the prior 3-day summer record of 7.20" from August 11-13, 1955. South of New York City, temperatures soared well into the 80s and 90s. Baltimore, Harrisburg, Newark, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC all saw the thermometer reach 90° or above. That heat will move northward tomorrow. Much of the remainder of this week will feature unseasonably warm temperatures. 90° Days for Select Cities (through August 23): Albany: 4 (2020: 13 days; 5-Year Average: 13.6 days) Allentown: 21 (2020: 24 days; 5-Year Average: 27.6 days) Baltimore: 44 (2020: 46 days; 5-Year Average: 44.6 days) Boston: 20 (2020: 14 days; 5-Year Average: 17.2 days) Bridgeport: 10 (2020: 11 days; 5-Year Average: 13.4 days) Burlington: 9 (2020: 20 days; 5-Year Average: 13.0 days) Harrisburg: 29 (2020: 35 days; 5-Year Average: 30.6 days) Hartford: 21 (2020: 39 days; 5-Year Average: 29.0 days) Islip: 6 (2020: 8 days; 5-Year Average: 9.4 days) New York City-JFK: 8 (2020: 12 days; 5-Year Average: 10.2 days) New York City-LGA: 21 (2020: 34 days; 5-Year Average: 29.4 days) New York City-NYC: 14 (2020: 20 days; 5-Year Average: 18.2 days) Newark: 34 (2020: 32 days; 5-Year Average: 31.2 days) Philadelphia: 32 (2020: 36 days; 5-Year Average: 34.6 days) Scranton: 16 (2020: 25 days; 5-Year Average: 16.4 days) Washington, DC: 40 (2020: 46 days; 5-Year Average: 50.8 days) New York City-Newark Average: 20 (2020: 22 days) ...Expected: 21 (based on regression equation tied to JFK-LGA-EWR data) The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.9°C for the week centered around August 18. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.41°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.43°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail into mid-September. Afterward, La Niña could begin to develop. The SOI was +5.04 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -1.173 today. On August 21 the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 0.963 (RMM). The August 20-adjusted amplitude was 1.443 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 83% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 77.3° (1.3° above normal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 NYC is on the verge of having its first July and August to both reach 10” of rain. Three Julys and three Augusts picked up 10”. But never before in the same summer. This only occasionally happens in Miami. The last summer there to do this was 2019.

donsutherland1 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Morning thoughts… The rain has departed, but heat and humidity have arrived… Today will be mostly sunny and very warm. High temperatures will likely reach the upper 80s and lower 90s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 89° Newark: 94° Philadelphia: 93° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 82.5°; 15-Year: 82.2° Newark: 30-Year: 83.8°; 15-Year: 83.8° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 85.0°; 15-Year: 84.6° The very warm weather will continue through Friday.

Tue (8/24) through Fri (8/27) heat is on. 850 temps peak in the >18c range Wed / FRi before the front this weekend. Next week Mon (8/30) into mid week looks like the next chance at heat and more 90s.

So this could only be the 2nd time on record along with 2010 to reach 40” of snow and 40 days of 90°.
