Tomorrow will be partly to mostly sunny and cooler. Noticeably warmer air will likely move into the region early next week. The warmth will likely continue through much of the week before cooler air returns. There could be brief interruptions of the warmth from backdoor cold fronts.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.7°C for the week centered around March 30. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.90°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist into at least mid-April.

The SOI was +24.30 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.208 today.

On April 7 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 0.420 (RMM). The April 6-adjusted amplitude was 0.520 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 52% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 53.9° (0.2° above normal).

Playing golf in a hail storm is a new one for me…that was interesting.

I was down in Nyack today at the mall to get my irons regripped.   While I wss waiting I went to the Kia dealership to look at vehicles.   The pea sized hail came down fast and furious for about two minutes

The big warmup shown last week for this week---looks muted by clouds and some rain.     Two 70's still possible.      850mb. T's go from -4 to +13 rather quickly---back to -4 in 10 days.

45*(57%RH) here at 7am.      48* at 1pm        51* at 5pm.      48* at 7pm.

A lovely cool spring so far. 
 

I genuinely prefer when spring is not just an extension of our hot and humid summers, we’re to have quite enough of that in the coming months. 
 

For us spring should be light to moderate jacket weather with daytime highs that don’t make you feel like you’re in a sauna with a massive UV lamp overhead.

 

I have no idea how humans survive in the deep inland South. I would expire within one season…

Morning thoughts…

It will be partly sunny and cool today. High temperatures will likely reach the lower 50s in much of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 52°

Newark: 53°

Philadelphia: 53°

It will turn warmer starting tomorrow and much of the week will see above to much above normal temperatures. Back door cold fronts could briefly interrupt the warmth in some areas.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 59.6°; 15-Year: 60.0°

Newark: 30-Year: 60.9°; 15-Year: 61.3°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 62.6°; 15-Year: 63.2°

34 here in White Haven , PA

Maybe some snow showers later this morning :thumbsup:

is that close to the Poconos? I wonder if it's been snowing in the mountains around Lake Harmony this weekend?  For some reason parts of the south are colder than we are, with freezing temps down to Georgia? I also heard it might snow next week in Seattle.  We're going down into the 30s tonight.

Chris, the run from yesterday actually looks warmer than the one from today (notice the blues over our area on the more recent run.)

 

The warm front is further north now for Thursday than it was on the older runs. This means that the highs for the warmer parts of the region will reach the mid to upper 70s if the clouds and showers get in the way. But if places like NJ can get more sun, then the 850 mb temps support low 80s.  So it’s a conditional forecast based on if we can clear out during peak daytime heating.

New run

and that's a full on Dakota blizzard isn't it?  I believe that's also going to give Seattle snow on Wednesday.

When was the last time Seattle had accumulating snow in April?

We're still several degrees AN for March 1 - April 9. It hasn't been a cool spring at all and this coming week will further solidify that.

Dont care how "warm" it's been, today is !@#$% cold I have my heat up at 80

April 2002 set expectations unreasonably high with 4 days in a row reaching the 90s.

4/16 92 in 2002 88 in 2012 88 in 2003
4/17 97 in 2002 88 in 1976 83 in 1941
4/18 93 in 2002 93 in 1976 85 in 1964
4/19 92 in 1976 91 in 2002 89 in 1985

That was amazing and low humidity too!

To be fair I have certain benchmarks for the highest temperatures I expect to see each month-- it's 70s in March, 80s in April, 90s by June.

I consider that we should have a four month snow season (DJFM), two months of spring weather (AM), four months of summer (JJAS), and two months of autumnal weather (ON).

Ant's 6 months of winter is unreasonable, even when we get snow in November or April it's not really part of our snow season....4 months is the most we should reasonably expect.

The heat shrink stuff works good.   Only downfall is if u get a torch mid winter, u can't open windows unless u take it off.

Some of my windows are better insulated than others so I'm thinking I'll leave it off those windows and just use the kits on the windows that need it, like the one in my bathroom and bedroom where my door actually slams when the wind blows =\
