doncat Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Went to see the original in 1996 with my 11 year old niece... going to see the new one with that same niece who's now a 39 year old nurse who picked up the weather bug from me at an early age lol. She's mainly into severe weather, tornados, hail etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 For those who are interested, Joe Bastardi is continuing to point to a cold winter in the East. He used one specific run of the CFSv2. Here's what the CFSv2 looks like on the NCEP page when using a fixed range of initialization cycles (one should not use a single initialization for the tool). Of course, skill is low from this timeframe. Last year, the CFSv2 had the East near normal for Winter 2023-24. It turned out to be among the warmest winters on record. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He keeps posting specific next to impossible extreme cold Weather Bell CFS runs. Note that I said WeatherBell CFS runs rather than just CFS runs. The WB generated CFS maps are being run on seriously flawed algorithms. For one thing many have been showing SST anomalies consistent with a +PDO, including a 4000 mile long by 1000 mile wide of solid BN SSTa stretching from just E of Japan to just N of Hawaii! Other companies’ CFS runs always have the near opposite (strong -PDO)! Notice on this 2m temp map what keeps showing up on about all of these very cold runs: whereas S Lake Michigan is near the coldest in the US the same runs practically ALWAYS have a small area of near normal in N Lake Michigan or just 250 miles to the NNE! And then they often go back to extreme cold just to the N in S Canada! They’re severely flawed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don, Check the 0Z 7/23 WB CFS run below. It has the same pattern of extreme cold anomaly over S Lake Michigan (-8C/-14.4F) much warmer (normal) over N Lake Michigan, and back to very cold in S Canada (-4C/-7.2F): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Humidity sucks though and now most of you should understand why I said we need to suck out about 20% of the water on this planet and move it to Mars or some other space colony. The amount of water vapor in our atmosphere is literally sickening and we dont need 70% of our planet covered in water, 50% is just fine thank you very much. This has not been a hot summer though. The West has had the hot summer. anyone who thinks this has been a hot summer, this has not been a hot summer. We have had a total of 5 days of 90+ and the highest was 92. The city only touched 95 one day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 40 minutes ago, JetsPens87 said: It's been one of the hottest summers on record here. I would agree. There seems to be little objective evidence that this has "not been a hot summer" in the New York City metro area. It looks like it's top 3-5 to date at all of the local climate sites. I do note there's been a push on this forum to redefine what a hot summer is to strictly look at the number of 90+ days and/or to consider only one's subjective feelings rather than objective facts. But even with the 90+ metric, 2024 is doing pretty well in most places. At Central Park, only 18 years (dating to 1869) have had more days at or above 90F. And this is despite the encroaching jungle / shading of the ASOS. At Newark, only 10 years have had more days at or above 90F [3 of those 10 with just 1 more]. It's actually not normal for there to be constant 90s in the New York City area. If you think it is, you are misremembering. Now, it is true that JFK has only had 2 such days, which is actually one of the lower tallies there. But that's not representative of much of the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a connection between inland hot summers and rain/snow lines in the winter.... might want to look into that. JFK has had a measly 2 90 degree days all year and none in July. Here on the south shore we have had 5 in total for the year and 2 in July. I think the rain/snow line will set up the same way in the winter, expect a lot of changeover storms with the coast getting not more than 2-3 inches in any storm. Just like the highest temps we've had this summer have been 91-92. My hottest summers were 1983, 2002 and 2010. Two of those were followed by great winters here too.

It's a very hot summer inland yes-- but NYC has had zero days higher than 95. Here on Long Island it's even worse. No day hotter than 91-92 and JFK didn't have a single 90 degree day in July. 1983, 2002 and 2010 were all much much hotter for us. Add in 1991 and 1993 for the city too.
