NYC had 17 below normal compared to 13 above, but overall the month was 2 degrees above normal because we had some big torch days. Obviously the above normal days tend to be more impressive than the below normal days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Looking pretty robust as it is just crossing the Delaware into NW Jersey at 7:30 p.m. Would expect it to hold together and produce some rainfall at my location within the next 60-90 min. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Clouds broke for some sunshine today in the New York City area where the monthly mean temperature finished at 55.6° (1.9° above normal) after a high temperature of 66°. Farther south, Atlantic City and Philadelphia saw the mercury again reach the 80s. Some showers or perhaps thundershowers are possible tonight but drier weather should return tomorrow. May should see the first week wind up somewhat warmer than normal, even as there is considerable variability in the daily temperatures. Overall, May looks to wind up on the warm side of normal. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.8°C for the week centered around April 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.23°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is fading. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring. The SOI was -3.82 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -1.058 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a spectacular lightning storm along with a quick 0.65” of rain. Looks like the storms are weakening some as they move into the more stable atmospheric conditions further east across NJ. I was also watching that hail shown above on radar. I am certain that there was even larger sized hail with this feature up near Jim Thorpe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been in the 80s the last couple of days there-- you guys who like storms so much-- you need this kind of heat to get big storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the SE Ridge not strong enough to take over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still in the seasonal transition. Variability is often higher at this time of year. Blocking has continued to occur. But when the warmth arises, it overperforms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wxoutlooksblog Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I'm noticing almost kind of a jump on the maps from April into May. We seem to be quickly jumping into a much warmer possibly eventually hot summer pattern. Temperatures were modeled to be in the mid-upper 60s here for today and we're going to top out somewhere between 78-83. There is a southeast wind but it's very light and the temperatures have warmed quickly up until now with no clouds. By a week from now we could be at least flirting with 90. Both GFS and CMC show this. Bermuda HP trying to take shape as the nw Atlantic upper low gradually loses its grip. WX/PT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
