If the ICON is correct, we get damn close to 80 degrees next weekend

The Euro has the strongest backdoor gradient of the spring so far with low 80s in PA and 70s in NJ with 30s in Upstate NY.

Reached a high of 64.2 here.

Yea but for like 5 minutes lol

The more realistic high was 61 since we've been sitting there for hours.

A brief push of cold air will occur tonight into tomorrow before temperatures quickly moderate starting on Monday. Tomorrow morning could start with temperatures near freezing in New York City and the upper 20s in some of the nearby suburbs. It will be blustery with highs topping out in the upper 40s.

A period of rain is likely on Monday as milder air pushes into the region. There is a chance that some of the distant northern and western suburbs could see some sleet or wet snow during the onset of the precipitation.

The variable pattern of alternative short cool and mild periods will likely continue through the upcoming week. The guidance is suggesting that one or two days could see readings reach the 60s just before the end of the month.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.3°C for the week centered around March 12. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.00°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.18°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue into at least late spring.

The SOI was +2.63 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.260 today.

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 98% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 46.0° (3.2° above normal).

is that a backdoor front? it looks like an arctic front that gets hung up north of here.

A bit windy but overall a nice day down at Liberty State Park.

Of course, but based on the lack of true Arctic air available it’s safe to hedge with highest elevations. I’m not sure if you remember 97, that storm had everything going for it and we ended up with hour after hour of white rain. As soon as we would build up a coating it would turn to drizzle over and over.

April 1997 was so overrated, April 1996 was MUCH better.

I still don't see how Boston got 24 inches of snow, Logan is right on the water.

We have seen snow in April

That's not how it works though, Ant.  Usually / most of the time when we see a snowstorm in April, the winter itself has been snowy.  Like 1996, 2003, 2018.

 

[jm1220]

Classic warm up for most of LI after the cold front comes through. Winds shifted to W and temp shot up over 60.

Boston is at a similar latitude as Albany so that will do it in a marginal setup. Had it been 2 or 3 degrees cooler all that white rain here would have been a foot plus of snow. They are also in a better spot for late maturing miller B’s into the gulf of Maine. And often get some ocean enchantment.

Reached 65 here. Tomorrow should be near 50 for a high

97 was anything but overrated in these parts. 

[Cfa]

Temps were in the upper 40’s in the Hamptons this afternoon, went to Riverhead from there and the temp jumped about 10 degrees.

64/33 today. 60’s were very fleeting, however.

I went to Oneonta 2 days after that April Fool's Day storm and going through the Catskills it looked like 3 feet of snow fell it was crazy. 

[BxEngine]

Just had the strongest wind gusts we’ve had around here in a long time. Could hear a few trees snap and a transformer or two let go. 

[the_other_guy]

Wow! What a gust front!

[lee59]

Just had 39mph wind gust here as front went thru

[Cfa]

That was wild. Heard the roar and then the floor started vibrating.

[psv88]

62 today. Hearing some parts of town lost power

Yep 

A few blocks lost power in Brooklyn where I live this evening due to the strong wind

The same people on these forums still chasing snow ghosts. Gotta admire their determination, they’ve been going strong since November, 5 months and counting….

Agree-time to move on to nice weather

Any idea when Long Island can get some 60’s and 70’s consistently?  These 50 degree days are getting old…

[ag3]

NYC below freezing.

Currently 30.7 here. Did not expect this.

Every city area station has reached freezing or below. Even the warmest spot LGA. 

[bluewave]

High winds continue to be the big story with that locally severe squall line last night.

it was predicted to be near or below freezing this morning ever watch the weather forecast on tv or follow it online?

[LAVistaNY]

That front last night was no joke!

[bluewave]

Today should be our first colder day in almost 3 weeks.
