Same ol story-rainfall totals lighten up as we get closer to the event....last week was an exception

The lone exception since mid-August. Literally every event has trended to less QPF for the last 7+ months. The drought/dry cycle continues….

You're in a great spot for huge diurnal temp changes in spring.

Yup, I saw Somerville was 25 this morning.  Those backdoors that ruin nice days for you guys during spring many times stop just east of me as well.

I think Toms River (KMJX) would be too, great radiational cooling because it's in the Pine Barrens and heats up very quickly on a SW or W wind.

The hurricane season last year was very interesting too, very quiet for a large majority of normal peak activity time.  Everything was shifted to the south....

and the same thing happened this winter.

Even here, near the ocean we started at 36 this morning and now up to 60 already.

You also get these large swings in early November.  I remember being in the 30s in the morning and in the 70s in the afternoon several times!

 

[IrishRob17]

Made it to the 40 degree swing, after 27 this morning up to 67 now. 

[bluewave]

The highs have been winning out at SMQ as they are +6.3 for the maximum temperature departure this month and -0.9 on the minimums.

[MANDA]

Currently 66 - amazing day!

Currently 65F here, after overnite low of 32.

[winterwx21]

It's 71 degrees here. Spectacular weather today! Wish we could keep this, but of course we'll be going back to cooler highs in the 50s with the east winds the next few days. 

[bluewave]

Low 70s even made it to the Catskills today.

The NAM may be too cold-but we are in for a rude awakening Thursday

[TJW014]

Made it to 66 before the sea breeze brought it back to the 50s. That's how it goes this time of year.

Tomorrow will be a great day to do a paint correction on the truck after taking down a trail a little too narrow. 

Hoping the clouds can clear on Thursday night for the lunar eclipse but we might be looking through soup if the marine layer persists.

Water temps are near 40 so if it's a stiff east wind it's likely to be close

all I ask is that we get to see this total lunar eclipse, don't need this meaningless marine crap ruining it.

[IrishRob17]

After that low 27 I made it to 70 for the high.

Is that the highest you have ever been after being below freezing for the low?

I've seen this happen a few times in November, but not in March.  The dryness must be why.

I'd have to dig through my records to see where today ranks. My biggest swings are always in the spring here.

This has been one of the most impressive 6-8 hr temperature rises that we have seen in the early spring.

Eastern PA had them too, both Scranton and Allentown hit 70 today.  Weren't their lows in the 20s Chris?

make you realize how crazy the period from 2002-2018 was....40+ inches of snow many of the years 

My running 30 year average was 40-44 leading up to that period. I don't think I got over 50 but last I remember I had calculated a bit over 48 before the 3 duds.

3rd highest 9 hour temperature rise in March at spots like SMQ.
