Yet another month of above normal temperatures.  Don, any idea what the record is for NYC for most consecutive months of above normal temperatures.  Is there such a record kept?  Any way to find out what the most consecutive number of above normal months is?  Even if just .10 degree above normal.  Just wondering. Thanks as always for you daily updates.  Always an interesting read.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of such data. 

[CIK62]

The 2014-16 period had about 20 months in a row here in NYC.      I think Tampa had about 30 straight AN months at this same period.     SE Ridge and SST's,  I guess.

Remember you have to the use the 30-Year Normal that was in effect at the time  for each month.

One answer to question(s) about consecutive above normal months ... this table shows 1981-2010 and 1991-2020 averages as well as all monthly averages. I have highlighted all above normal months (1991-2020 normals) in bold and those which were only above 1981-2010 normals in bold italics (e.g. Jan 1894). Any underlined value is on the average value (e.g. Jan 1924 is on the 1981-2010 average). This establishes the longest stretches of above normal monthly temperatures. Analysis follows the table.

Since then, the longest interval of below 1981-2010 average months is only five Oct 2002 to Feb 2003

and since then four (Apr to July 2003, and Jan to Apr 2014). 

The longest intervals colder than 1991-2020 averages are sometimes the same as the above list except that Apr 1871 to Dec 1873 had no month warmer but one month (July 1872) equal. That would be 33 months. Some of the other members of the above list fall between months that were above 1991-2020 normals as well as 1981-2010. except for July 1892 on, which encounters months not warmer than 1991-2020 normals until July 1895 (36 months), however March 1894 was equal to the 1991-2020 average; also July 1925 to Jan 1927 were all below 1991-2020 (19 months) . Sep 1939 to Mar 1941 (19 months) were all below 1991-2020 averages. 

Jan 1958 to Mar 1959 (did not qualify above) were all below 1991-2020 averages (15 months)

Aug 1977 to Feb 1979 (also not represented above) had 19 months below 1991-2020 averages. (three were above 1981-2010 averages)

Nov 2013 to Apr 2014 were below 1991-2020 averages. 

Since then the longest interval not above 1991-2020 averages is only four months Apr to July 2017 and this includes June equal to the average. 

The 2001-2030 normals are likely to be 0.3 F or more above the 1991-2020 averages.

Just some mist and drizzle here-we also missed most of Saturday's rain so it's dry.

[SACRUS]

Low of 53 now up to 64 and sunny skies.   Cooler Tue before warming back Wed (4/19) and Thu (4/20) and a much warmer Fri (4/21).  Front this weekend could bring rain Sat (4/22).  Beyond there cut off low into the NE could keep it cooler than previously forecast for the remainder of the month.

We never got up to bat. On a completely different note, unusually high number of midges so far. Hopefully not a sign of skeeter season.

A brief shot of much cooler air will move through the region tomorrow and Wednesday. Tomorrow will likely see the temperature stay in the 50s in New York City and struggle to reach the lower 60s in Philadelphia. Noticeably warmer air will then return after midweek. The temperature could reach the upper 70s and perhaps lower 80s on Friday. A more sustained cool period could develop during or just after the next weekend and continue into the opening days of May.

April 2023 remains on a trajectory that will likely rank it among the 10 warmest Aprils on record in the northern Middle Atlantic region. A cool end to the month won't be sufficient to avoid top 10 warmth.

The most recent April case to rank among the 10 warmest was:

Boston: 51.7°, 2019 (5th warmest)
Bridgeport: 54.0°, 2017 (1st warmest)
Islip: 51.9°, 2019 (6th warmest)
New Haven: 50.8°, 2022 (6th warmest)
New York City-Central Park: 57.2°, 2017 (2nd warmest)
New York City-JFK Airport: 55.1°, 2017 (2nd warmest)
New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 57.6°, 2017 (2nd warmest)
Newark: 57.2°, 2017 (4th warmest)
Philadelphia: 59.0°, 2019 (3rd warmest)
Poughkeepsie: 53.0°, 2017 (3rd warmest)
White Plains: 53.9°, 2017 (2nd warmest)

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.7°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.0°C for the week centered around April 5. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.77°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.03°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail through at least mid-spring. El Niño conditions will likely develop during the summer.

The SOI was -7.43 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.955 today.

On April 15 the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 1.750 (RMM). The April 14-adjusted amplitude was 1.661 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 97% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 57.8° (4.1° above normal). That would rank as the second warmest April on record.

down to 47 and now ba breezy 53.  Cooler today before warming Wed (4/19) towards normal (64/45).  Thu (4/20) through Sat (4/22) much warmer mid 70s to low perhaps mid 80s in the warmer spots Fri. Sat comes down to arrival of clouds.  Sun (4/23) looks very wet as system rides the front. Could be wettest day since Feb 27.    Beyond that cooler Mon 4/24 through much of next week.  Next rain chances the middle of next week perhaps more meaningful rain to wash the pollen accumulation away.

Very impressive, Don. I noticed Bradford, PA reached 86F / 30C at over 2100 feet of elevation, setting a new monthly record (after tying the record of 85 yesterday which was set last year and twice in 1990).

They are actually running a few degrees above 2010 for the warmest April so far.

Very strong blocking and closed low will slow down frontal passage. Need some training to get heaviest rains here. Slightly stronger block and heaviest rains would favor northern and western areas of the forum.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
With one warm front off to the north and another to slowly
approach, things will start off warm, with temps Thu night
bottoming out mostly from the mid 40s to mid 50s, then with
onshore SE flow rising to the lower 80s inland well away from
the ocean, into the 70s most elsewhere, and only into the 60s
near south facing showers out east. A milder night Fri night
expected, with lows near 60 in midtown NYC and in the 50s
elsewhere as the onshore flow continues and even backs east for
a time.

The front should get a push north first thing Sat morning, but
with more in the way of clouds ahead of an approaching frontal
system as well as continued onshore flow temps likely to end up
cooler than those of Friday, with more widespread 60s for highs
across SE CT and eastern Long Island, and failing to reach 80
from NYC north/west.

A rainy/windy and cooler period likely from Sat night into
Sunday as a closed low to the west becomes negatively tilted and
potent leading shortwave energy approaches. A long SE-S fetch
and lack of a strong sfc-based inversion likely to result in
winds approaching or exceeding advisory criteria late Sat night
into Sunday, especially along the coast. A narrow corridor of
strong Atlantic moisture transport ahead of the front via a
strong LLJ, as well as enhanced lift ahead of a wave of low
pressure along the approaching front, also likely to result in
pds of moderate to heavy rain and some rumbles of thunder from
late Sat night into Sunday night.

The aforementioned closed low to the west will become the
westernleg of a large omega block over eastern North American
and the western Atlantic, so expectations are that the forecast
trends going into early next week will slow down. So PoP
forecast remains somewhat higher than NBM during this time, with
chance PoP for ern CT/Long Island into Monday and at least
slight chance PoP otherwise going into Tuesday.
