The sun and lack of wind today feels good

Yeah 53 degrees here today felt great with the strong late march sunshine. I went outside with a sweatshirt on, but quickly took it off and worked with just a t-shirt on. Tomorrow won't be as comfortable since it will be cloudy.

I wish this was the path of totality for the eclipse.... and that we had clear skies that day.

Today would actually have been perfect for the eclipse.

yep it's a case of luck when it comes down to it...problem is there's usually 2-3 cloudy days in Western NY for every sunny one this time of year...

and even in Central NY.

I was wondering how an ice free Lake Erie and Lake Ontario would impact things....

and I believe that would actually increase the chances of cloudiness and rainfall/snowfall.

The recent chill has now moderated. However, additional rain is likely late in the week. At present, a general 0.50" - 1.50" appears likely. The closing days of March could turn warmer with widespread readings in the upper 50s.

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 -0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.3°C for the week centered around March 20. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.67°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.35°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is continuing to fade with the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly going negative for the first time since the week centered around January 25, 2023. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring.

The SOI was +1.82 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.180 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 47.9° (5.2° above normal).

@bluewave why do you think we keep getting a stronger passage in p8-1 outside DJF 

I guess the orientation of the marine heatwaves in the MJO 4-7 zones holds the convection there longer during the winter. Then the last 2 years the convection finally was able to shift at some point in March. Our last solid winter month here was Jan 22 when the MJO was able to linger in 8.

Major high tide bust (in the good direction) tonight along the beaches. It's coming in about a foot lower than modeled.  

a bigger moon would have resulted in a bigger tide.... next time we may not get so lucky...

That 4 sigma 500 mb Greenland block in the forecast looks to be the strongest of the year so far. So a very active pattern will continue into early April. Spring will remain on hiatus for a while longer.

Looks like a SE ridge there-maybe the blocking can link up and give us warmth...LOL

If there’s a big closed off low east of us the only result will be easterly winds and low clouds. We’d want some kind of westerly flow to warm us up and keep it dry.

it's actually nice today with partly sunny skies, looks like the rainy forecasts are getting less rainy with time :) less clouds too.

on the positive side a ridge this strong will bring down arctic high pressure and keep us clear for the eclipse maybe?
