it's bright and sunny here now with lots of blue skies lol-- so much for cloud cover forecasts, they can't even get it right on the same day!

 

Will cloud back up and more showers with the upper low swinging through.

I'm not home but our cameras show what looks like about an inch on the ground. 

Probably about right. Had a 1.5 inches at 6 am. Been snowing steadily again since 7:30 but no additional accumulations. Temperature at 32 so pretty much just evening out between melting and compression

Over 3" rainfall from event.  Just waiting for the gauge to thaw to confirm total.  Measured .3" snow depth at 8am.  May have been more than that in the predawn hours but .3" is all I can confirm.  I suspect it may have been as much as .5 - .8" earlier in the morning.  Gradually melting now as temperature climbing to near 40 at this hour.  More measurable snow for me in April than March.  March only a Trace.

Updated: Event total melted precipitation = 3.28".

Rain is not done yet…

The main event was over, but yeah added .23 more here from the late night showers. Heard some pinging on the window when I was trying to get to sleep, so we had a little sleet mixed in with the rain. Was quite an event with a t-storm and a little wintry precip at the end. 3.08" was the 3 day rain total here.

Not surprised, two weeks ago I posted a sustained warm pattern would wait until mid April. Hope that doesn’t get pushed off further, as this isn’t great spring weather currently. 

We have had a generally warmer minimum temperature pattern over the last two weeks. But all the clouds, onshore flow, and rain have been keeping the maximums down.

The statistical predictors based on record SSTs and La Niña are very impressive for the coming hurricane season. 
 

 

A very dangerous picture is getting painted for this upcoming Atlantic hurricane season. All the indicators right now are pointing to a record breaking season and have been since March….

Based on what I am seeing right now, we at least have a shot at one month from June through October with very excessive rainfall over 10.00”. That would be a scenario with hurricanes or tropical storms making landfall to our south and then tracking north. If we can string together more than one month of excessive rainfall, then  the flood threat would be even higher. The worst scenario would be a direct hit which would add the damaging wind and coastal impacts. So we’ll have to monitor the coming season actual storm tracks very closely. It’s even potentially more problematic based on all  the record rainfall since last summer.

The key will be how many landfalling storms-some big nina years have alot of fish storms...

Hopefully if the big ACE season pans out there are lots of recurves. In a Nina it’s our one positive indicator for a snowy winter we can look forward to. But the tendency for the Bermuda high ridge to spike further north the last 5 summers or so might also mean storms are headed N at our latitude not NE which is a big danger if we have hurricanes near the Carolina coast.

While not able to break NYC daily rainfall record on April 3 (1.90" 1983), the 48h total of 2.42" (0.87"+1.55") does set a new high for April 2-3, previously it was 2.01" in 1917.

Today, both records are 1987 (1.99" one day, and 2.48" 2d for April 3-4). 

I posted all such records on page 13 of this thread (and I edited in 2024). 

Current pattern cannot be a lot different fro 1915 with its record 10.0" snowfall (on April 3), and worth noting that April 25 and 27 of 1915 both set records in the low 90s. The only other part of 1915 that was particularly warm was mid-September.
