The very impressive La Niña background state continues. So instead of weakening into the spring like usual, it’s actually getting stronger again. This has lead to the models correcting  stronger on the SE Ridge this month. The brief Arctic shot behind the intense weekend storm will be a bit of an outlier for the warmer than average SE Ridge pattern.

That’s right over my hood. Saw a wild amber flash to my south; I’m guessing a local transformer. 

Our house is between Mendham/long valley and bedminster is south. 

I'm late with this, but we're in hackettstown and never saw any Lightning or heard any thunder Monday evening. Nasty wind though. Nearly blew a chair off the front deck. 

Presently at work here in Long Valley it is white rain and no nice way to say it... Crappy out. :( 

Is this winter's last gasp?

Milder conditions will follow in the wake of a storm that brought snow to parts of the northern Middle Atlantic region today. Temperatures will likely rise into the upper 40s and lower 50s tomorrow and Friday. Saturday will also be mild with the potential for rain and high winds. Temperatures could fall sharply later in the day with rain changing to a period of accumulating snow in northern and western sections of the region. Sunday will be blustery and cold. Afterward, the potential exists for the development of a sustained warmer than normal pattern.

Overall, March will likely be warmer than normal. There may also be one or two opportunities for at least some measurable snow in the northern Middle Atlantic and southern New England areas.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.1°C for the week centered around March 2. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.22°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.75°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through March.

The SOI was +12.68 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.002 today.

On March 7 the MJO was in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 0.468 (RMM). The March 6-adjusted amplitude was 0.333 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 80% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 45.4° (2.6° above normal).

Morning thoughts…

It will be partly sunny and milder. High temperatures will likely reach the upper 40s and lower 50s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 50°

Newark: 50°

Philadelphia: 54°

A strong storm will be followed by a brief but sharp cold shot during the weekend.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 47.8°; 15-Year: 48.4°

Newark: 30-Year: 48.8°; 15-Year: 49.6°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 50.6°; 15-Year: 51.0°

This was the first time between March 1-10 that Newark had measurable snow 2 days after reaching 75°+. The previous record was 3 days set in 1972. 3rd place goes to 1976 which took 4 days. So a continuation of the snow and record warmth close together theme that has become more common here.
