Despite bright sunshine, temperatures remained in the middle and upper 20s across much of the region today. A stiff breeze added to the icy feel.

Tomorrow will be another fair but unseasonably cold day. Afterward, milder air will pour into the region setting the stage for a warmer than normal second half of February. The potential exists for several days to see much above normal temperatures. Thursday and Friday are two such potential days. That warmer pattern will likely prevail into the opening week of March.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.7°C for the week centered around February 9. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.77°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.78°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist into at least mid-March.

The SOI was -12.20 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.246.

On February 12 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 1.253 (RMM). The February 11-adjusted amplitude was 1.203 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 86% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal February (1991-2020 normal). February will likely finish with a mean temperature near 38.1° (2.2° above normal).

It's amazing to me how rare it is for the city get to zero or slightly below. I mean that's not even that cold tbh. I have been at zero or below about 5 times this year alone. 

It was the first time that NYC dropped below 0° since 1994. But POU still hasn’t reached -20 or colder since 1994. Looks like -14 has been the best POU has been able to do since 2010.

Why is it so hard for NYC to get that low?  Way too much UHI and traffic and air pollution artificially heating up the big cities.

Today is the 6th anniversary of the first NYC below 0° day since 1994. Only in our post 2010 climate could NYC drop below 0° in February following a +13.3° December. Then we had one of our recent temperature swings to 54° two days later followed 60s on February 20th.   Back then LGA was colder than the other city locations for morning lows.

 

 

JFK didn't get lower than 0 in 1994 did they? And the last time they were below zero was -2 in 1985 (when LGA reached -3)?  The UHI and traffic and air pollution must've been much less in 1985 than it is now.

That chart shows -14 in 2015 and 2018. I'm usually a few degrees colder than that reporting station also.

This certainly was a winter experience.  Looks like we'll get one more day of this.

Looks like no snow threats again until early March when the pattern may or may not change. At this point im fine having some springlike weather, its been so cold for the mostpart since early January.

Continues to look interesting by March 1 and after per 00z/15 ensembles. GEFS is even tossing a snow event out there in the ensembles from the VA's northeastward around March 1-2.  

Also sensing more and more that this coming warmth is about 2 days at a time, Wed-Thu night and next Wednesday ish. Noting all ensembles are chilling 850MB to near normal by 25th-26th when the door opens for ice or snow possibilities involved with the precip events. 

Expecting spotty wind damage Thu night in parts of our area....mixed down with showers.

Morning thoughts…

Today will be mostly sunny and cold. High temperatures will likely reach the lower and middle 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 32°

Newark: 33°

Philadelphia: 36°

Noticeably warmer weather will return to the region, as a sustained warmer than normal pattern develops tomorrow.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 42.1°; 15-Year: 42.2°

Newark: 30-Year: 43.0°; 15-Year: 43.1°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 44.2°; 15-Year: 44.0

Monday is the unofficial end for big snow on the coast season. Obviously it can snow into April but the odds strongly diminish after next week. The sun will start to become an issue as well. With temps in the 50’s and 60’s we may start to see some blooming/budding in places. 
 

Someone should start a thread for the Thursday night wind event. LLJ is 60+ Kt’s with no inversion. Numerous gusts 50+ mph looks likely.

Thursday night into Friday will be our next cutter with 60°+ temperatures and wind gust potential near 60 mph in the usual windier spots. Then we cool down again with more 60° potential ahead of another storm next week. So a continuation of the big weather swings pattern with the warmer days more impressive than the cold. This allows the temperatures to average out warmer than normal.
