44 / 41 off a low of 33.  Warmup underway upper 60s today some spots to 70.   Near / low 80s Wed and Thursday.  Itll either be a race to midnight if showers maintain with the frontal passage and ending any dry stretched or itll be a arid front.   Near normal into this weekend before the ridge rebuilds Tue - Thu with much warmer than normal (70s) again.  Trough and front delayed till 7-9th where the next rain chances could materialize 7 weeks later from late Sep, last rainfalls.  Overall warmer than normal and dry through the 7th.

This morning I am witnessing odd grey, vaporous, almost 'puffy' formations overhead, obscuring my view of the sun and the sky.  Has anyone ever seen these before?

I believe it was the last time the waste pipe burst in the down town sauna. Stay well, as always ….

Historical:

 

1693: From the Royal Society of London: "There happened a most violent storm in Virginia which stopped the course of ancient channels and made some where there never were any." Known as the Accomack Storm, this event likely caused changes to the Delmarva shoreline

1917 - The temperature at Denver, CO, dipped to zero, and at Soda Butte, WY, the mercury plunged to 33 degrees below zero, a U.S. record for the month of October. (David Ludlum)

1942 - A tornado struck the town of Berryville in northwest Arkansas killing 20 persons and causing half a million dollars damage. (David Ludlum)

1948: An historic smog event occurred in the town of Donora, Pennsylvania. The smog killed 20 people and sickened 7,000 more.

1956 - A violent tornado, or series of tornadoes, moved along a path more than 100 miles in length from south of North Platte NE into Rock County NE. It was an unusually late occurence so far north and west in the U.S. for such a storm. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Severe thunderstorms in Arizona produced wind gusts to 86 mph at the Glendale Airport near Phoenix, baseball size hail and 70 mph winds at Wickenburg, and up to an inch of rain in fifteen minutes in Yavapai County and northwest Maricopa County. Arizona Public Service alone reported 2.5 million dollars damage from the storms. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Wintry weather prevailed in the Upper Midwest. South Bend, IN, equalled their record for October with a morning low of 23 degrees. International Falls MN reported a record low of 11 degrees in the morning, then dipped down to 8 degrees above zero late in the evening. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather in Oklahoma and north central Texas during the late afternoon and evening hours. Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced weak tornadoes near Snyder and Davidson, and produced hail two inches in diameter at Altus. Large hail damaged 60 to 80 percent of the cotton crop in Tillman County OK. Nine cities in the northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date as readings warmed into the 70s. For Marquette MI it marked their fifth straight day of record warmth. Arctic cold invaded the western U.S. Lows of 7 degrees at Alamosa CO and 9 degrees at Elko NV were records for the date. (The National Weather Summary)

2011 - New York City received one inch of snow, the earliest they had received that much snow since records began. It was also only the fourth times since the Civil War snow had fallen in New York City in October. The storm also left over three million people without power including 62% of the customers of Connecticut Light and Power.

31 this morning, one of the few times the low was 5 degrees lower than the forecast 36.  

I hit 35 this morning twice it looks like, definitely a bit below our forecast low as well. 

Our leaves down here went pretty much from green to red and then down, and everything is starting to look a bit grey.

All the parks and recreation spots around my area and up into Sussex county have Extreme Fire Danger signs posted.  I live across the street from Berkshire Valley Wildlife Preserve, took a walk there yesterday and it is just bone dry and dusty.  No improvement for at least a week and maybe 10 days.  Terrible.  I'm honestly surprised fires have not been more numerous across the state.

The County Executive here in Orange County issued a State of Emergency yesterday banning all outside burning except for charcoal and gas grills for cooking.

A very memorable event with the record snow and NYC dropping to 33° in October. Most recent years have been struggling to get below 40° in October. Many more top 10 warmest minimums above 40° for the month these days. The rare recent exception was October 2020 that got to 32° which foreshadowed that great winter pattern relative to the last several winters.

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the trails that go from Belmont Park in North Babylon down to Argyle and the GSB in Babylon but they are (unsurprisingly) bone dry. Ive been doing the bike now on the trails because I’m saving my pulled groin for men’s league footie games and the dirt is almost coarse sand at this point. Those trails are (imo) usually damp and slightly muddy even on days with no precip and this past week I had to be real careful not to wipeout on the sandy twist-and-turns.
