I don’t understand what you mean by running around like chicken little. Putting our temperatures in perspective is very important otherwise we just normalize everything away in a few years. That was what the study that I posted earlier discussed. New baselines are deceptive since a +2 to +3 in December today is getting near the top ten warmest. So it could lead some to say that such a small warm departure really isn’t out of the ordinary. 

at the same time it's more than just temperatures.  It's the mass extinction event now underway, destroying our forests, toxic pollution, and extreme weather events like floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc, all on a rapid increase.  We need to emphasize everything.

The next 8 days are averaging  50degs. (44/57), or +14---+11 nowadays.

Big change this time round for the next 9 days after the above HW---29/35 = 32 = -3 or -6 nowadays---and 6" of snow near the 20th. for good measure!

Reached 54 briefly yesterday at 3pm.

Today:  57 >62 if there is any sun, wind s. to w. to n. and gusty 35mph., into tomorrow AM, cloudy and rain late,  40* by morning.

51*(92%RH) here at 6am, FOG<0.2mi.{was49* at 3am.}    52* at 7am.      53* at 9am, still foggy.    55* at 10am, fog lifted.        58* at 11am.      59* at Noon.      60* at 1pm.       63* at 3pm.       64* at 4pm.      57* at 7pm.     back to 62* at 8pm.

Tragic situation in the south.  I wonder if warnings weren't issued quick enough or if people just weren't paying attention for severe weather given that it's December.   

It looks like a big factory collapsed.  Where would factory workers go in a tornado emergency, especially if there is no basements in the place?

Mass extinction?   What do you mean exactly?  I can agree with the points on deforestation and toxic pollution, but in regard to weather... there have always been extreme weather events.  

 

Look at the population explosion over the past 100 years, especially in vulnerable environments. More people, constant media and social media....just leads to more exposure.  Keeping it in perspective is important,  as the sky is not falling.

Inherently dangerous situation.  These twilight tornado outbreaks are devastating, especially when they occur outside of the normal severe weather season.   Very sad situation.  Prayers to all.

It will also become very windy. 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: 66°

Philadelphia: 67°

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 45.5°; 15-Year: 46.1°

Newark: 30-Year: 46.0°; 15-Year: 46.8°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 47.1°; 15-Year: 48.0°

Tomorrow will be partly sunny, breezy and cooler.

not humans-- the mass extinction is of almost every non-domesticated species on the planet, half the species that exist now will be extinct by 2100, including pollinators, our usage of pesticides and fertilizers, etc.  The Monarch Butterfly is about to go on the endangered list
