This weather stinks 

Too bad the idea of Tuesday being just a brief cool shot and then a quick warmup failed. Now it looks cool through the weekend, but thankfully next week looks warmer. Not a huge warmup like we had last week, but a decent one. We'll probably get back to 60s. I'm starting the garden with the cool season vegetables next week, so the warmer temps will be nice for the spring planting.

60's is fine if it's sunny-sun angle is strong now

Yeah I skiied western MA after that storm-it was great-no one was there (probably b/c there was no snow at the coast-back yard effect) and once clocks go ahead people lose interest in winter activities...  Condition are horrid now except well north.

A cooler air mass now covers the region. Although it is not exceptionally cold, it is noticeably colder than the warmth that preceded it.

A somewhat stronger shot of colder air will arrive Wednesday or Wednesday night. The low temperature could approach or reach freezing on Thursday morning or Friday morning in New York City.

A potential storm will need to be monitored for the weekend. However, details remain uncertain. If the storm tracks close to the coast, it could bring a high-impact heavy windswept rain to the region. If it passes farther offshore, it could produce a gusty breeze and some showers. Coastal flooding at high tide is likely under either scenario, but the former scenario could be a damaging one. Currently, there is large disagreement among the guidance.

Milder air will also begin to return during the weekend. The closing days of March could turn warm.

No significant snowfall appears likely in the northern Middle Atlantic region through at least March 20th. 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 +4.21 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.897 today.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 99% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 48.0° (5.3° above normal).

Low of 32 and now to 38.  Mid / upper 40s today and touching 50 tomorrow before reinforcing shot of cold air comes in Wed  - Thu.  Upper or mid 20s overnight Wed into Thu and Thu into Fri. Moderates by the weekend but turning wetter with several systems being shown on the latest guidance 3/24-25 and again next week 3/28 - 3/29.   Ridging pushing east to open next month.

Historical:

 

1907: The highest March temperature in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was set when the temperature soared to 97 degrees. Dodge City, Kansas, also set a March record with 98 degrees. Denver, Colorado, set a daily record high of 81 degrees.

1935 - Suffocating dust storms occurred frequently in southeastern Colorado between the 12th and the 25th of the month. Six people died, and many livestock starved or suffocated. Up to six feet of dust covered the ground. Schools were closed, and many rural homes were deserted by tenants. (The Weather Channel)

 

1948: An estimated F4 tornado moved through Fosterburg, Bunker Hill, and Gillespie, Illinois, killing 33 people and injuring 449 others. 2,000 buildings in Bunker Hill were damaged or destroyed. The total damage was $3.6 million.

1950 - Timberline Lodge reported 246 inches of snow on the ground, a record for the state of Oregon. (The Weather Channel)

1956 - The second heavy snowstorm in just three days hit Boston. Nearby Blue Hill received 19.5 inches contributing to their snowiest March of record. (David Ludlum)

1987 - A storm in the western U.S. produced rain and snow from the northern and central Pacific coast to the northern and central Rockies. Heavier snowfall totals included 13 inches at Clear Creek UT, 12 inches at Snow Camp CA and Glacier Park MT, and 10 inches at Kayenta AZ. Wind gusts reached 54 mph at Winslow AZ. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Seven cities in California and Nevada reported record high temperatures for the date as readings soared into the 80s and lower 90s. Los Angeles CA reported a record high of 89 degrees. Five cities in south central Texas reported record lows, including El Paso, with a reading of 22 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Six cities reported new record low temperatures for the date as cold arctic air settled into the Upper Midwest for Palm Sunday, including Marquette MI with a reading of 11 degrees below zero. (The National Weather Summary)

1990 - Rather wintry weather in the eastern U.S. replaced the 80 degree weather of the previous week. Freezing temperatures were reported in northern sections of the Gulf Coast States, and snow began to whiten the Northern and Central Appalachians. Up to eight inches of snow was reported in western Virginia. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

2003 - Denver digs out from the second-biggest snowstorm in the city's history. Almost two and a half feet of wet snow over 36 hours shuts down the city. The month ends as Denver's snowiest March on record.

Euro and CMC are very wet just off the coast-with the usual correction N and W we could get a ton of rain

 

Much more model spread than we typically see around 5 days out. The potential for heavy rains is there if everything gels. But this is a lower confidence forecast than usual since cutoffs in spring are the hardest for models to resolve. Each model has a different low position at 120 hrs.

Who needs south shore beaches anymore anyways? This one if it sits for a couple days might be a TKO.

Yeah, beach erosion and coastal flooding have become the new normal with the more extreme storms and rising sea levels.
