bluewave Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 You know spring is progressing when we stop getting afternoon highs in the 40s with rain behind the backdoor cold fronts. Looks like most areas away from the immediate shore will reach the 80s by Monday. Then a weak backdoor for Tuesday with highs still in the 60s and 70s eastern sections. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible with some compressional warming that someone in NJ SW of the backdoor on Tuesday makes a run on 90°. Yeah BDCF’s will become less of a threat as we move ahead over the next couple weeks and as we head into May. Looking forward to the warmer weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Overnight, parts of the region could see a shower or two, as a warm front pushes slowly across the region. In its wake, tomorrow will turn noticeably warmer as the sun returns. The temperature will surge into the 70s in much of the region. Monday could be the warmest day of the week with widespread readings in the upper 70s and lower 80s. The hottest spots could reach the middle or upper 80s with perhaps a few 90° highs. May will likely start out with warmer to much warmer than normal temperatures. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.7°C for the week centered around April 10. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.17°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.03°C. The ongoing basinwide El Niño event is fading. Neutral conditions could develop later in the spring. The SOI was -3.10 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.814 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 April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 55.6° (1.9° above normal). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Curious to see how fast we warm up today; yesterday was raw. Never made it above 54 degrees and with occasional drizzle while mowing the yard. Though, it was a good day for the fire pit to start burning all of the downed sticks/limbs in the yard from the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
