Tomorrow will be fair and mild before another shot of cold air arrives for late in the week and the start of the weekend. However, a sharp rebound in temperatures is likely starting Sunday. Sunday through Tuesday could provide an early taste of springlike readings across much of the region.

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 -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.8°C for the week centered around February 23. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.08°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.70°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist through at least late March.

The SOI was +11.97 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.819.

On February 27 the MJO was in Phase 4 at an amplitude of 0.713 (RMM). The February 26-adjusted amplitude was 0.684 (RMM).

You can set your watch to it, feels like it happens every late March anymore. There are growing signs showing up on guidance that after mid-month, a -AO/-NAO shows up, especially closer to the Equinox (3/20) on the other models. Hopefully that is dead wrong, no one wants to be backdoored with chilly, rainy crap weather at the end of March going into April 

I’m rooting for that to be right. I’d like to see a late March early April nor’easter/blizzard, and it looks like we could have a shot at it this year.

Hopefully not. Cold in mid-late March is cloudy, usually with a chilly rain & low 40s. 

 

For some strange reason NYC has climatological holes in snow from 1/1-1/6 and also 3/19-3/27 or so despite having big events before and after that..I'll never figure that one out, especially the early April max

The amazing part is that it’s totally gone in less than 12 hours

yup lol thats true too, but the amazing part for me is actually knowing it's the last time I'll see it for 6+ months so when you know it's the last time you enjoy it more.

I think the April 2018 6" snowstorm was gone a day later but the one in April 2003 (also 6" here) was actually around for 3 days afterwards....not that it actually mattered, getting an all day snowstorm in April was what was amazing about it.

So much for that stratospheric warming and weakening, splitting SPV come mid-March hype….it recovers and goes right back to being strong as hell. Those -AO forecasts post 3/15 should be viewed with extreme skepticism 

 

There has to be something other than this that would bring about an -AO?  Dont singular AO regimes have a limited lifespan anyway....after a few weeks they revert back to what they were before?  What exactly is it that would keep the +AO going....does it feedback into something else?

Morning thoughts…

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

New York City (Central Park): 49°

Newark: 50°

Philadelphia: 57°

Colder air will return tomorrow and persist into the start of the weekend.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 45.6°; 15-Year: 45.9°

Newark: 30-Year: 46.6°; 15-Year: 47.1°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 48.1°; 15-Year: 48.2°

I miss winter

Good morning Anthony. The wait/anticipation for its return will be enjoyable with a partner by your side. I miss my partner more than winter and when that loss arrives there is no return. Stay well and look forward to the happiness of your warm season. As always …..

Nothing will ever beat 4/6/82 for April snow IMHO.

March 1-10 snowfall in NYC has been a good indicator over the last 30 years on how snowy March will be. There is currently no measurable snowfall in the forecast through the 10th. All the years this has happened since 2010 have featured below normal snowfall for the month. 2004 was the last time there was a 4.0” or more total for the month. 1990s El Niño’s featured the best outcomes since they are backloaded by nature. But there was one La Niña year in 1999 that surpassed 4.0”.  So maybe a 1999 type outcome could be our best hope with the La Niña in the mix this winter.

Similar theme as recent days on the 12z EPS. Warmer than average  pattern for early March with a dominant SE Ridge. Maybe the first run on 70° this spring for the warm spots on Sunday. The EPS gradually weakens the SE Ridge in mid-March with colder temperatures filtering in from the west. The monthly departure will probably be decided by the late month pattern which is still outside the best model range. We’ll probably get some clues from the March 5 Euro monthly update.
