I wonder if things may trend cooler for once W Pac recurving typhoon, watch for it. Only posted a few days ago about it. There’s going to be a cold shot start of November timeframe imo.

MANDA Posted Saturday at 06:09 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:09 PM Was out doing yard work yesterday and today. Nice weather to do it but the soil that is not getting irrigated is absolutely bone dry and dusty to a depth of at least 6-8". We are just fortunate this did not happen in July and August. Would have been horrendous for gardening and crops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is eventually? Its needs to go on a lot longer for that to happen. If it was summer it would be a lot worse, but now it means pretty much nothing other than some people need to water gardens and a heightened risk of a forest fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted Sunday at 01:37 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:37 AM The ongoing warming trend will continue into early next week. Tomorrow will again see temperatures top out at 70° or above in much of the region. With a PNA-/AO+ pattern in place, an above normal temperature regime could last into the closing days of October. Any cool shots during that time would likely be brief. Through today, New York City has seen just a trace of rainfall. The old record low figure through October 19 was 0.02" in 1886 and 1947). At Philadelphia, rainfall has been 0.00". The old record was a trace through 1886. In addition, today is Philadelphia's 21st consecutive day with no measurable precipitation (18th highest). The record streak of 29 days during October 11-November 8, 1874 will likely be challenged. Almost all of the region is now in DO (abnormally dry) conditions. Southern New Jersey, Delaware, and southeast Pennsylvania are in D1 (moderate drought) conditions with some areas of D2 (severe drought conditions). Precipitation in the northern Mid-Atlantic region will likely remain below to much below normal into at least the fourth week of October. The ECMWF ensembles, along with the experimental AIFS and FuXi AI versions continue to show very little precipitation. There is a possibility that October 2024 could see less than 1.00" monthly rainfall in New York City for the first October since 2013 and that Philadelphia could see its second consecutive October with less than 1.00" of rain. As a result, the expansive area of D0 conditions in the region will evolve into D1 conditions and the area of D2 conditions in southern New Jersey, and parts of Delaware and Maryland will likely grow. The NAO fell to a preliminary -2.751 on September 24th (all-time September record: -2.371, September 12, 1971). That was the 9th lowest value on record. La Niña winters following September cases where the NAO fell to -1.900 or below featured a predominantly positive NAO. The most recent such winters were 2016-2017 and 2022-2023. The mean temperatures for those winters in New York City were 39.3° and 41.0° respectively. The 1991-2020 normal value is 36.2°. A warmer outcome is favored by the October run of the C3S multi-model forecast for Winter 2024-2025. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.5°C for the week centered around October 9. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.35°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.27°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the late fall. The SOI was -4.83 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.673 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 78% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal October (1991-2020 normal). October will likely finish with a mean temperature near 59.5° (1.6° above normal). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee59 Posted Sunday at 03:30 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:30 AM Warmth for the remainder of the month does not look quite as impressive as it did a few days ago. Meanwhile a beautiful high of 70 degrees today and now down to 49. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile a beautiful high of 70 degrees today and now down to 49. I think the warmth for the next few days looks as impressive as it always has. Still looks likely that we're gonna see low 80s here Monday and Tuesday, and perhaps Wednesday as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see warm spots get as high as 83. Maybe after that (starting Thursday) the cooldown looks a little more impressive than it did a few days ago. High temps might stay in the 60s for most of the rest of the month, but it's possible we'll warm back up to the low 70s for the last couple days of the month. Overall much warmer than normal from now until the end of the month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted Sunday at 10:21 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:21 AM 15 hours ago, CCM said: Why are the operational models struggling immensely to get a handle on the upcoming pattern? The run-to-run swings are insane, and not just in fantasy range either. The GFS is the only operational model that runs beyond 240 hrs. The other models have a control run and an ensemble mean. So we use the ensemble means to put together a long range forecast. But even the ensemble means have had a cold bias in the long range. The GFS is prone to fantasy snowstorms after 240 hrs but the ensemble mean doesn’t have this error. Remember in recent winters how the big snowstorm was always 2 weeks away on the GFS OP. So this is why we use ensemble means in the long range. New run 60s to possible 70s near the end of the month when the average high is only around 59°. More in line with the EPS and GEFS.

snowman19 Posted Sunday at 11:05 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:05 AM 22 minutes ago, Allsnow said: No rain on the euro or the gfs into November drought is going to get worst Ditto for the GEPS. Dry as far as the eye can see. It has been so anomalously dry since late August it’s not funny. It seems we have gone into a dry feedback cycle, something we really haven’t seen in the northeast in a very long time. If we get to the end of November and it’s still status quo, it’s probably a real bad sign for precip this winter. Patterns this anomalous usually don’t magically do a 180 and flip come December 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanic Winter Posted Sunday at 11:42 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:42 AM Down to 36 again for me, tying my fall low for the third time. The radiational cooling is significant at my location. I drive a few minutes east to the parkway and often warm up 6/7 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are seeing huge diurnal swings (similar to the desert SW) because of the drought pattern over the last few months. Soil moisture is way, way below normal. Dry ground, low humidity, radiates heat very easily, unlike saturated ground which retains it in the boundary layer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
