Tuesday looks like it could be the 3rd 95° day of the season so far. Very warm WNW flow ahead of the backdoor. Quite a difference between our area and New Hampshire. JFK could beat the record high of 92° set in 1988.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny and seasonably warm. Much warmer air will move into the region for Monday and Tuesday before another cold front breaks the short warm spell. Much above normal temperatures will likely persist from Philadelphia southward in the Middle Atlantic region through the middle of next week.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, Galveston has an implied near 100% probability of recording its warmest May on record. Galveston will likely finish with a monthly mean temperature near 82.7°. The existing record is 80.4°, which was set in 2018. Galveston has already recorded its most 90° high temperatures and 80° low temperatures on record for May.

Some of the guidance has suggested that June could be warmer than normal in the Middle Atlantic and New England areas. The latest EPS weeklies suggest otherwise.

The ECMWF seasonal forecast indicates that the summer will be warmer than normal throughout the region and across much of North America.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.1°C for the week centered around May 18. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.65°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -1.07°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist into the start of June.

The SOI was +13.50 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.360 today.

On May 26 the MJO was in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 0.805 (RMM). The May 25-adjusted amplitude was 0.187 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 95% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 64.1° (0.9° above normal).

Don - the SOI has been way above average  between moderately strong and extremely above average for seemingly weeks now. 
I presume this despite MJO/ CCKW crossing the pacific - nonetheless  it is reinforcing a La Niña pattern . Can this lend confidence to at least next 4 months ? 
even if things suddenly changed - isn’t this La Niña pattern baked into future at this point ?

i am not sure but presume we are safe with La Nina styled pattern for summer at this point . 
mot sure where we stand statistically at this point although this is quite anonymous with a third year La Niña .

The +SOI gave us the -PNA and the La Niña contributed to  the record ridge over SE Canada. But we got a more amplified version of the typical May La Niña background state. Rare combination of unusually cold spring La Niña SSTs, +SOI, and negative IOD.

The odds increasingly favor a persistent La Niña. We’ll probably see a 3rd consecutive La Niña winter. By mid-summer, the guidance will be in a range where one can have good confidence in the forecast outcome.

The last 3 days of May are averaging  78degs.(66/90) or +10.

Month to date is  63.0[+0.2].        May should end at  64.4[+1.2].

Reached 76 here yesterday.

Today: 73-80, wind direction variable, m. sunny, 66 tomorrow AM.

EURO is coolish/wet after Tuesday.    CMC is dry with normal T's.      Next T outburst on the GFS is June 09/10.

For Tues the GFS is 97,   the remaining models and NBM are 92-94.

64*(78%RH) here at 7am.        69* at Noon.       71* at 3pm.

Tuesday could feature a very impressive temperature drop especially east of the Hudson. Near record highs in the 90s could drop sharply at night. It will all depend on how fast and far west the backdoor makes it before stalling out. It may come down to nowcast time for the higher resolution models.
