Overnight, it will be mostly cloudy. Some periods of rain and showers rain possible. The sun will likely return as the day progresses tomorrow.

The ongoing generally warmer than normal pattern will likely conclude during the weekend. Nevertheless, this month could rank among the 15 warmest March cases on record in much of the region.

There is growing potential for the month to end with cooler but not necessarily cold readings. The possibility of a fairly sharp but short-lived cold shot has increased on the guidance in recent days.

In past cases where the MJO was in Phase 1 during the March 5-15 period with an amplitude of 1.500 or above on one or more days, all four cases when the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly was positive were warmer to much warmer than normal. In contrast, all three cases where the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly was negative, as is the case this year, were colder to much colder than normal.

Mean Temperature for ENSO Region 3.4 anomalies < 0°C during March 22-31:

Boston: 38.7°; Normal: 42.2°
New York City: 41.8°; Normal: 46.2°
Philadelphia: 42.2°; Normal: 47.3°

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.9°C for the week centered around March 16. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.05°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.85°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through March.

The SOI was +4.55 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.162 today.

On March 22 the MJO was in Phase 4 at an amplitude of 1.314 (RMM). The March 21-adjusted amplitude was 1.652 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 99% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 45.9° (3.1° above normal).

The one thing about the 6”+ April events is that they followed cold winters or cold Marches. So they were a product of the cold winter or early spring patterns. April 2018 followed the cold March with record 30” of snow at ISP. April 2003 followed one of our coldest and snowiest winters of the last 20 years. April 1996 speaks for itself with the historic snowfall that year with a cold winter into spring. The all-time April best blizzard of 1982 followed the cold 81-82 winter.

Right, this alone should have indicated that April 1997 would be a bust down here.  Somehow the Jersey shore ended up getting 6-8 inches out of it though.

Morning thoughts…

It will become partly cloudy and mild. High temperatures will likely reach the lower 60s in much of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 62°

Newark: 62°

Philadelphia: 63°

Noticeably colder air will arrive this weekend.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 52.9°; 15-Year: 53.6°

Newark: 30-Year: 53.8°; 15-Year: 54.7°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 56.0°; 15-Year: 56.7°

The coming freezing temperatures would've been absolutely devastating to the growing season if Feb/March were a little warmer. 

Still we're a good 10-14 days ahead of schedule so some early bloom damage is likely. 

non native ornamental cherries, no big deal

All the local grocery stores and garden centers already have out the annual flowering plants like pansies and petunias. Several people around here have the flowering baskets in front of their houses. So they will all have to be taken in.

pansies can handle frost

aside from the early cooldown, April looks warmer than not. also some indications of a warmer summer but that's way out there. the base state of the persistent SE / W Atlantic ridge has been established, so ride with that until further notice

you can have snow in early April and still a warm April thereafter.

what was the August we had the big regional blackout? was that 2003 or 2004?  Hottest day of the year-- the high was 95 or 96.
