Our subways were flooded, it was a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The last 3 days of August are averaging 79degs.(73/86), or +8. Still 3"-6" from IDA remnants. Month to date is 77.7[+1.4]. August would end at 77.8[+1.8]. More likely at 77.5. 68*(80RH%) here at 6am, overcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Morning thoughts… Today will be variably cloudy, breezy, and a bit warmer. A shower is possible, especially in western parts of the region. High temperatures will likely reach the upper 70s and lower 80s. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 77° Newark: 81° Philadelphia: 82° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 81.5°; 15-Year: 81.3° Newark: 30-Year: 82.9°; 15-Year: 82.9° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 84.1°; 15-Year: 83.8° Powerful Hurricane Ida will make landfall along the Louisiana coast as a Category 4 hurricane. There is a small possibility that it could peak as a category 5 hurricane near or during landfall. Its rains will likely impact the Middle Atlantic region during midweek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don, why don't we categorize these 150 mph + storms as Super Hurricanes like they call them Super Typhoons in the Pacific? I feel like that adds more attention and significance to them as well as 150 mph being a special benchmark (2x minimal 75 mph hurricane threshold, or 4x stronger using the square law). That said this will likely become a Cat 5 at landfall just like Andrew and Michael were, just look at the warmth of the waters there. Amazing on the 16 year anniversary of Katrina. I still think these truly special high end storms should get the moniker of "Super" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel, if folks are not reacting to the adjectives dangerous and catastrophic, I wonder if ‘Super’ will really add to their sense of peril and ongoing ennui. As always ….

donsutherland1 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Tomorrow will be partly sunny and warmer. A few locations could see a shower or two. Looking farther ahead, September will likely feature near normal to somewhat warmer than normal temperatures overall. Ida is continuing to batter Louisiana after having made landfall with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. Ida will slowly move away from New Orleans overnight, but not before dumping additional heavy rain and inflicting further wind-driven damage. Fall 2021 will likely be wetter to much wetter than normal in the northern Middle Atlantic region. Since 1869, there have been 9 August cases where New York City picked up 20.00" or more rainfall during the summer. Two thirds of those cases (and 4/5 of those with summer mean temperatures of 73.0° or above) had 17.00" or more fall precipitation in New York City. 2011 is probably the closest match in terms of precipitation and a nearly identical summer mean temperature. Mean fall precipitation for those 9 cases was 14.86". The median was 17.35". The 1991-2020 normal value is 12.27". 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 +13.59 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.963 today. On August 27 the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 1.349 (RMM). The August 26-adjusted amplitude was 1.291 (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 August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 77.6° (1.6° above normal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shower is possible in a few places, but most of the region should be dry. High temperatures will likely reach the middle and upper 80s in most of the region.

A general 2”-4” of rain with locally higher amounts is likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 80/73 and low level clouds burning off a bit but still parrtly to mostly cloudy. Outside chance of 90 in the hotter spots. More clouds tomorrow but warm and humid continues. Sep Wed (9/1) and Thu (9/2) Ida's remnants enhance front / merge to produce heavy rainfall and then pull down trough/cooler air Fri (9/3) - Mon (9/6). Think we see more 80s than 70s and are closer to normal. On the longer range similarly to late July we ride a 10 day to two lid on warmth/heat and may see a late season warmup towards the 10th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2010-2013 summers featured drier heat with more westerly flow. It’s been higher dew point S to SW flow heat since the super El Niño in 2016. LGA had a hotter summer in 2020 than 2010 since North Shore locations are far enough from the sea breeze. JFK needed the westerly flow in 2010 for its hottest summer. Dry heat summer in 2010 with the ridge to our SW Another moist heat summer in 2021 with WAR to our east 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed EWR was hotter back then too EWR top summers are very similar to JFK. Measuring heat in terms of 90 and 100 degree days is how I like to do it, since number of hot days is how most people remember the summer. I also like the term climate change much more than global warming, since just calling it "warming" is a simplification of the profound changes we are causing to our planet.
