Yep, looking warmer since we should have westerly flow for now. Have to always be aware of the turn on a dime to gunk with easterly wind this time of year though. 

Especially this year with the water being colder then normal do to all the offshore flow and upwelling. This pattern will not do much to warm the water either. May be a chilly start to the beach season once the flow switches back to consistently onshore.

Over performer IMBY.  I have to measure, and might have to get out my snow shovel again, wasn't expecting to have to shovel. I figured it would be a mostly grass/car topper event here.

But we want the offshore flow to keep the land and air warmer.  The beach can keep the onshore flow hopefully it doesn't make it past the barrier islands.

If it stays dry through May and June, then there could be more.

I am going for 25 but I don't think it's going to be so dry this summer. But I do suspect that at its peak and perhaps in early September this summer (July, early August) will be very hot. But I do look for next summer to feature a return of summers like 1966, 1983, 1993, etc.

It’s just putting off the inevitable. West winds will just keep upwelling more and more cold water. So when the flow does turn onshore again, the sea breeze will have a bite, even here in Lynbrook. Just spent a couple hours installing my cool weather veggies. I waited until after last night as we had a shot at mid 30s which isn’t good for any tender young plants. Obviously not the best radiating location, but we do radiate more then the city.

Records:

Highs:

EWR: 93 (2002)
NYC: 96 (1976)
LGA: 91 (1976)
JFK: 86 (2002)


Lows:

EWR: 32 (1943)
NYC: 25 (1875)
LGA: 35 (2014)
JFK: 35 (2003)

 

It's amazing how the heat in 2002 in April coincided with 1976 but the summers were radically different (even though both were followed by el ninos the following winter).

 

35 for a low on this date in 2003 is pretty shocking for JFK

April 1875 which we've talked about before was a real outlier....

and wow a dust devil in MA?

1957 - A dust devil near Dracut MA lifted a small child three feet into the air, and rolled two other children on the ground. Fortunately none of the three were hurt. The dust devil was accompanied by a loud whistling sound as it moved westward. (The Weather Channel)

Crazy stuff. Here are some notable highs and lows from April 18, 1875, from ThreadEx sites:

New York, New York: 32/25

Albany, New York: 32/21

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: 34/25

Baltimore, Maryland: 34/26

Washington, D.C.: 33/25

Toronto, Ontario: 29/10

Buffalo, New York: 23/14

Rochester, New York: 25/15

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: 25/14

Morgantown, West Virginia: 27/18

Cleveland, Ohio: 26/17

Toledo, Ohio: 34/12

Detroit, Michigan: 33/8

Lansing, Michigan: 33/8

Yes I see 70s are forecast for all of next week after Monday so the warm season is definitely taking over now.

Storms usually begin to get weaker after April 15th. I can remember the famous Tax Day Nor’easter  in 2007 getting under 970 mb. That is about the deepest we have seen so late in the season.

Pattern looks more Southeast Ridge dominant going forward keeping the rainy zone further to our west. So while the dry conditions have eased a bit, still no widespread soaker in sight which would completely end the drier conditions. 

My guess is that our summer forecast will come down to the wind direction again. If the flow is more onshore like recent summers, then NJ will get the warmest conditions. We would need the ridge east of New England to shift back west allowing more offshore flow. But that has been difficult in recent years. NJ has had 4 summers with near to over 40 days reaching 90° in the 2020s. So top 10 summers for 90s have been very consistent west of the Hudson away from the sea breeze influence.

and west of NYC.... when was the last time the city had 30 days of 90 or higher, 2010 I think?

 

we had 1.5 nice days, now the clouds have moved in and it's very windy.  It would be nice to get  a big blocking ridge to keep these lows away from us, there seems to be 2-4 every week (with or without rain.)

the high temperature here was at 1 pm, 66, now down to 61.

our low was in the mid 30s last night we were 5 degrees colder than JFK.  Frost can be experienced with temperatures as high as 36-37.

Our climate then was closer to present day Boston. Now more like Baltimore back then.

We used to average over 3 feet of snow decade after decade.  Things took a turn after the 1910s.  

I know 1933-34 was very cold and snowy as was 1942-43, but the last hurrah for the old winters was really 1917-18.  It was all downhill after that.

1931-32 was a foreshadowing and sign of things to come.
