bluewave Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 22 hours ago, TheClimateChanger said: Wow! Look at this photo I found on Wikimedia dated May 24, 2024. This is absolutely absurd. Who was the decisionmaker that identified this as an appropriate location to install the ASOS? It doesn't comply with any siting standards. Most backyard thermometers are more reliably sited than this. Thanks very much for posting that updated picture. It shows how the growth has even become more dense in recent years. The interesting thing is that the name attached to the photo is from a lead NWS forecaster in DC that used to be an active poster in our forum years ago. Ray is a really good guy that maintains a great winter storm archive. My guess is that he had to see the site in person since it has been running so much lower than surrounding sites. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2024-05-24_17_49_58_View_south_across_the_Central_Park_Automated_Surface_Observing_System_(ASOS)_in_Central_Park,_Manhattan,_New_York_City,_New_York.jpg 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 74 / 71 1.62 in the bucket yesterday. Front meandering just south of us and slow to push south. Should dry out and clear up later but mostly cloudy through the noon hour at least if not most the early afternoon. Break in the heat with mainly mid - upper 80s. Friday - nicest day, dry and warm - near normal. Sat warming back up and with front near by perhaps some scattered storms and mainly cloudy before Sun warm/humid. The Atlantic ridge keeps the EC under ridging with the continued warm-hot / humid and frequent storm with trough back into the MW and ridge west. Beyond next weekend flow could go a bit flatter with more heat coming east (after the 29th). 7/18 - 7/19: Break in heat, near normal 7/20 - 7/28: Warm-hot, Humid, Frequent storm chances (chance for 90/low 90s) 7/29 - beyond : Overall war - hot - could see stronger heat come east. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the WAR verifies stronger than forecast again then those totals may begin to shifter further north over time as the month continues. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relying on these lines of storms that die off east of the city 98% of the time doesn’t often do it. I’ve been lucky for once. Looking forward to the lower humidity for a few days before the steam bath returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Fairly extensive dryness and drought over the eastern 1/4 of the country. Some of this should get beaten back over the next 2 weeks expecially over the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Generally fair and somewhat warmer than normal readings will prevail through the weekend. Some showers or thundershowers could become likely toward the middle of next week. The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.3°C for the week centered around July 10. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.47°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.23°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the late summer or early fall. The SOI was -31.27 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.244 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 90% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal July (1991-2020 normal). July will likely finish with a mean temperature near 80.2° (2.7° above normal). That would tie 2024 with 2011 as the 6th hottest July on record.
