Has Newark ever had a record low max which was above 60° in the spring with a dewpoint in the 20s before? The previous record low max of 59° in 2017 had a dewpoint of 51°. The record for 4-13 had a 60° dewpoint. So these record low maxes usually occur on higher dewpoints above 50° early mornings.

 

Newark/Liberty CLOUDY    65  29

 

4/12 59 in 2017 56 in 1948 56 in 1947
6:51 AM 60 °F 51 °F 72 %


 

4/13 61 in 2019

 

6:51 AM 61 °F 60 °F 97 %


 

4/14 62 in 2014

 

6:51 AM 62 °F 55 °F 78 %


 

could it be from the wnw gradient keeping us more mixed at night?

In the NYC records, the earliest minimum of 70+ was 74F on April 17, 2002. A value of 70F on April 18, 1976 was broken by 76F on April 18th, 2002. These are the only three minima at NYC in the 70s in April. The closest to them would be the 69F records for April 16, 2002 and Apr 28, 1990 and 2009. There were 70+ minima May 3-4 2018 (70F, 72F) and the latter of those broke a record of 71F from May 4, 2001,  but in terms of an early 70+ reading before 1976, that would be 71F on May 6, 1930.

Low of 52 to 67 already.  90s in the warmer spots very possible EWR, NE-NJ , CNJ.  Fri last day of the surge of strong warmth with another shot at 90s but more clouds in the way.  Winds go more S / SE by the weekend with system in the gulf moving through.  Coller Clouds / wet Sat and Sun.  Cooler Mon (4/17) - Thu (4/20).  Back and forth and overall bias warmer than normal with perhaps a day or two of strong warmth the last 10 days of the month.

Lows:

EWR: 26 (1940)
NYC: 25 (1874)

Historical:

 

877 - The second coastal storm in just three days hit Virginia and the Carolinas. The first storm flattened the sand dunes at Hatteras, and widened the Oregon inlet three quarters of a mile. The second storm produced hurricane force winds along the coast of North Carolina causing more beach erosion and land transformation. (David Ludlum)

1955 - The town of Axis, AL, was deluged with 20.33 inches of rain in 24 hours establishing a state record. (The Weather Channel)

1986 - A major spring storm quickly intensified bringing blizzard conditions to much of the Northern Plains Region. Up to 18 inches of snow was reported in North Dakota, and in South Dakota, winds gusting to 90 mph whipped the snow into drifts fifteen feet high. Livestock losses were in the millions of dollars, and for some areas it was the worst blizzard ever. (Storm Data)

1987 - Thunderstorms in northern Texas produced wind gusts to 98 mph at the Killeen Airport causing a million dollars property damage. Two airplanes were totally destroyed by the high winds, and ten others were damaged. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Low pressure off the Atlantic coast produced high winds across North Carolina, with gusts to 78 mph reported at Waves. The high winds combined with high tides to cause coastal flooding and erosion. About 275 feet of land was eroded from the northern tip of Pea Island. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Thunderstorms in central Florida produced golf ball size hail and a tornado near Lakeland FL. Fair and mild weather prevailed across most of the rest of the nation. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1990 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather in central Oklahoma and north central Texas. Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced up to six inches of golf ball size hail along I-40 near El Reno, and produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Okarche. Thunderstorms over north central Texas produced softball size hail northwest of Rotan, and high winds which injured two persons southeast of Itasca. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

 

1999: A two-mile-wide area of wind-driven hail pounded residences and farm equipment for about a 5 mile stretch at least as far as State Highway 158 in west Texas near Midland/Odessa. Hail grew up to about golf ball size and winds peaked at approximately 80 mph. The wind-driven hail broke windows in houses and blasted paint off the wooden siding. The strong winds took roofs off several mobile homes and at least one single-family house. Utility crews stated that the winds downed a total of 27 poles. The American Red Cross determined that 324 units were affected with 18 mobile homes and four houses destroyed. About 50-60 families were at least temporarily displaced.

2004 - The latest measurable snowfall on record hits Jackson, TN, causing six traffic fatalities.

2006 - The University of Iowa campus is hit by an F2 tornado. The storm severely damaged many buildings in the area, including a sorority and a local church. No fatailities were reported in the storm that caused more than $12 million in damage.

I love that 1977's early heat is showing up, yesterday it was 90 on this date in 1977.  2002's heat came a bit later.

The last 35 dewpoint at Newark in July was in 2010. Plenty of dry heat that month. The drought feedback boosted the heat that month.

We may have that that in 2002 too, those were my two favorite summers in the 21st century.  It got to 100+ and it felt so nice you could go running in that weather.
