donsutherland1 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Much of the northern Mid-Atlantic region and parts of southern New England saw daily record rainfall today. Daily records through 6 pm included: Allentown: 1.73" (old record: 1.12", 2005) Atlantic City: 2.69" (old record: 1.59", 2005) Binghamton: 1.03" (old record: 0.74", 1968) Bridgeport: 3.28" (old record: 1.28", 2020) Hartford: 1.96" (old record: 1.14", 2020) Islip: 2.22" (old record: 1.32", 2020) New York City-Central Park: 3.66" (old record: 1.60", 1929) ***3rd highest daily rainfall in March*** New York City-JFK Airport: 3.13" (old record: 1.28", 2020) New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 3.47" (old record: 1.44", 2020) Newark: 2.97" (old record: 1.52", 1961) Philadelphia: 3.09" (old record: 1.36", 2005) Poughkeepsie: 2.05" (old record: 0.83", 1944) Trenton: 2.91" (old record: 1.62", 1961) White Plains: 3.00" (old record: 1.20", 2001) Wilmington, DE: 2.81" (old record: 2.05", 1903) Philadelphia's daily rainfall also set a new record for highest daily rainfall for any day in March. The previous record of 2.79" was set on March 15, 1912. As a result of today's rainfall, March 2024 now ranks among the 10 wettest Marches on record in New York City. In addition, 66% of the top 10 wettest months have occurred since 2000, even as the 2000s account for just 16% of months in New York City's climate record. Top 10 wettest and warmest months are both disproportionately represented by the 2000s. In the wake of today's storm, tomorrow will be blustery and unseasonably cold. Moderation will follow. The closing days of March could turn warmer. However, the kind of warmth that occurred earlier in March is unlikely. It is very likely that New York City's Central Park will finish the 2023-2024 snow season with less than 10" of seasonal snowfall for a record second consecutive season. Records go back to 1869. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.1°C for the week centered around March 13. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.88°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.42°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is now fading. Neutral conditions could develop during the spring. The SOI was +3.68 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.097 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 48.2° (5.5° above normal). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 29 minutes ago, LibertyBell said: Right, I expected them all to be over 3" by the end of the storm. Do you think this is going to be our last freezing or below temperatures for the airports and the park tonight or tomorrow night? Possibly not if GFS 12z was on track, first week of April looks rather cool with a rain-snow threat near end of run (on April 8). Would estimate a -3 anomaly for April 1-8 if that guidance verified, but of course it's the GFS past ten days so ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, when I do they tend to use the co-op’s total. So I have stopped reporting it. It’s on cwop for them to take if they want, they take my Muttontown station from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Despite record warmth this month we're still getting late freezes. 29F this morning If we had another week of the 65-75+ warmth and then got hit with these freezes we would have seen a lot of bloom damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snowfall total was nearly twice that of any other storm of modern record in Kansas City before or since that time. A record 40 inches of snow fell during the month of March that year, and the total for the winter season of 67 inches was also a record. By late February of that year Kansas City had received just six inches of snow. Olathe KS received 37 inches of snow in the snowstorm, establishing a single storm record for the state of Kansas.

Hundreds of expensive homes, businesses and apartment complexes were damaged. Total losses were estimated at $56 million. Three people lost their lives, and the F3 tornado 1987 - A winter-like storm in the central U.S. produced blizzard conditions from South Dakota to western Kansas.

(Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather from Minnesota to northeastern Texas. The thunderstorms spawned ten tornadoes, including one which injured five persons near Raymondville MO.

Cape Hatteras NC was soaked with 5.20 inches of rain in 24 hours, and snowfall totals in Vermont ranged up to 12 inches. Winds gusted to 52 mph at New York City.
