I see the narrow line of downpours has moved into Somerset County, so it will be here shortly and might get us to a little over an inch of rain for the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwx21 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 18 minutes ago, Allsnow said: Pouring! More rain coming up from PHL Decent downpour with that line. It added 0.15" here, so I'm up to 0.99" for the event. Another batch of lighter rain coming up from the south as you pointed out, so that will get me to a little over an inch for the event. I'm glad this didn't end up being another one of those 2 to 3 inch super soakers. We didn't need that, but an inch was a nice watering for the vegetable garden. Tomorrow looks nasty. Cloudy and windy with high temps only in the mid 50s, but then we go back to nice warm weather on Sunday. Looks like a nice stretch of mostly high temps in the 70s for Sunday through most of next week. Then probably a cooldown to below normal temps next weekend. Anyway I hope everyone has a great weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uofmiami Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 18 minutes ago, bluewave said: The cold front late next week looks very impressive as the Euro and GFS have lows in the 30s in NYC for next weekend. EPS also has the pesky NW cutoff afterwards it appears, so it'll be a slow moderation of warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxoutlooksblog Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 We are still in a wet pattern with an upper low in the northwestern Atlantic dominating. We've had computer model runs suggesting that this pattern might end or shift northward but thus far they've all been wrong. The best we can do in this type of pattern is an isolated day here and there around 80 perhaps but mostly 70s with quite a few days still only in the upper 50s and 60s.

donsutherland1 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 In the wake of the area's most recent storm, a dry weekend will follow. It will turn briefly cooler tomorrow with a gusty breeze, but warmer air will quickly return starting on Sunday. Temperatures will likely reach the 70s early next week. For the week, temperatures will wind up warmer to much warmer than normal overall. Cooler conditions could follow afterward. Given the near-term warmth and extended guidance, New York City's Central Park is all but certain to finish the 2023-2024 snow season with less than 10" of seasonal snowfall for a record second consecutive season. Records go back to 1869. This will be the last reference to seasonal snowfall for Winter 2023-2024. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.2°C for the week centered around April 3. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.28°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.22°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is fading. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring. The SOI was -9.74 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +3.838 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 68% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 55.8° (2.2° above normal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
