We have to accept that winters will be warm from now on but that's doesn't mean we can't get a lot of snow still.

I really don't want to post stuff from last October and November on this board but the same posts by the same people, saying the same exact thing about last winter, and basically every October and November since social media was a thing.,,It's not supposed to be cold and wintry in October and the most part of November. The usual first snowfall in NYC is mid or late December. We got 2 months to go.There is no way of knowing the pattern 2 months out.

Not necessarily, there have been warmer than normal October and November in the past that lead to cold/snowy winters. The problem is when all 3 months (September, October, November) are warmer than normal, that it almost always leads to a bad outcome

The sample size is really small. 1970-71 and 1973-74 were fairly cold, but not severely cold.

1970-71 was pretty cold from Christmas into the first week of Feb...its one of the coldest for that period...

hope my math is correct... her is the list...

1976-77.....23.6...

1947-48.....25.9...

1980-81.....25.9...

1993-94.....26.8...

Correct.

The guys glossing it over by saying every winter is above normal are missing the point. using the new baseline, it still would be a warmer than normal winter.

 

Lets see what November brings.

 

This week is shot again.

Back above normal already, 80 tomorrow, 70s through Friday. It doesn’t signal a cool down or a pattern change, but rather a transient cool shot.

Let’s see how we do early next week. If late next week starts to look like 70 again, you know what we are dealing with…and it isnt good

The Euro weekly forecasts for the next month are usually more reliable a few days before the new month starts. It did exhibit a cold bias for October compared to the actual temperatures. But the pattern of the warmest departures near the Great Lakes worked out very well.

After a chilly start, temperatures moderated under strong sunshine. Highs generally reached the middle and upper 60s across the region.

Newark reached 70° for the 171st time this year. As a result, 2021 is now tied with 1985 and 2015 for the 2nd most days on record.

Warmer air will return tomorrow. Tomorrow through Friday will be unseasonably warm. Another cool shot is likely for the weekend.

The MJO has now completed its passage through Phase 5 at a very high amplitude. During the 1991-2020 period, there were 6 cases with passage through Phase 5 with at least three days at an amplitude of 1.500 or above: 1998, 2000, 2004, 2010, 2017, and 2020. There was a strong signal for the second half of October to wind up warmer than normal (83%) cases in the New York City area. However, that signal broke down to a 50-50 split for the first 10 days of November. That hints at possible timing for a pattern transition depending on the pattern evolution and changes in the teleconnections.

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".

Following very wet July-September periods, winter (December-February) precipitation has typically been near or below normal. The most recent exception was winter 2018-19.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.8°C for the week centered around October 13. 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 -0.43°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through at least mid-winter.

The SOI was +15.47 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.595 today.

On October 17 the MJO was in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 0.374 (RMM). The October 16-adjusted amplitude was 0.594 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 96% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal October (1991-2020 normal). October will likely finish with a mean temperature near 61.6° (3.7° above normal).

I remember back in 1971 when October was warm to the end...November turned out colder than normal with record cold...December reverted back to warmer than normal...it took until late January for real winter pattern to lock in for a month...like last year February was the coldest snowiest month...the real winter pattern was locked in for a month...1995-96 was locked in from 12/9 to 1/12...then a pause...then three more weeks the beginning of February and on and off in March ...

Yeah, that raging Pacific Jet will bring plenty of moisture to the West Coast in late October.

 

They desperately need the rain/snow there and especially in the SW. If any good systems can make it there in this Nina year it would be a great thing. Usually Nina winters are wet/cold in the NW where it’s not as needed.

Looks like an impressive soaking next few weeks possibly down to Central California.

Newark is currently at 69.7° for the fall. While the sample size is small, all winters since 1991 following the 60° falls were warmer than average. So it will be interesting to see how November turns out. 

*All departures relative to 1981-2010 DJF Avg temperature of 34.2°

*New 1991-2020 DJF avg temperature warmed to 35.3°

I think the evidence is pretty clear then and currently November looks to start AN.

Not as warm as October of course but still mild relative to normal.

Morning thoughts…

It will partly to mostly sunny and unseasonably warm. High temperatures will likely reach the middle and upper 70s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 76°

Newark: 80°

Philadelphia: 78°

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 62.9°; 15-Year: 63.6°

Newark: 30-Year: 64.4°; 15-Year: 65.4°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 65.6°; 15-Year: 66.1° 

The warm weather will continue through Friday.

That just confirms the warm start.

Maybe things will change mid November but that's way out there.

Speaking of warm, next 2 days will approach 80F again.

October could have one heck of a positive anomoly....Dry too now which will add some to the warmth

I rather wait until December for winter to kick in . I think many meteorologists are counting on the NAO to remain negative and the weak PV to remain weak until next year which would mean a cold November and December but then warmth for January and February.

That likely wont get us much snow if that turns out to be true....
