New England 2025 Warm Season Banter

Mine was really old and most likely very inefficient so probably skewing my opinion a bit, guessing the 2025 versions are certainly a little better. -

I guess I agree with him that the recent -NAO/+PNA periods haven't been producing, but I'm not sure he agrees with me that a flip in the WPO would largely remedy that...aside from some marginal events that are growing ever more difficult to tilt favorably in a warmer atmosphere. However, I think the storm track issue is largely tied to the +WPO/NAO. IOW, I'm confident we will get BM tracks if we could muster a -WPO/-NAO/+PNA. -
Totally - still can't resist looking as a .

Just got back from a 6.5 mile walk. Absolutely beautiful out today! Get out and enjoy it with the next few days coming. This will be a nice soaking rain once again.

you must have been near freezing on this date in 2002, ironic after a huge historic heatwave in April that year and the nicely hot and dry summer to follow.

One thing I am 100% with @bluewave on is that the west PAC holds the key to change.....we aren't going to see a great winter until that changes. But the ironic thing is that he points that out, and then in the same breath identifies past instances of -NAO/+PNA that peformed better to illustrate the point that fruitful patterns of the past are no longer producing. Well, no shit.....they were more favorable looking around the Bering Sea. Low heights in that area are killing us....it remained a constant last season, which in conjunction with the predominately +NAO is why we saw an inland storm track. I think the West Pacific warmth correlates to +WPO...we need to see that cool down, or else it really limits how effective any periods of -NAO/+PNA can be. -
haha I had my space heater on. don't need to open any windows the cold wind comes into my house and blows open my bedroom door.
-
I had every window open, ceiling fans on and portable fan blowing on me. Was perfect sleeping weather.
-
I've always thought it's the out of shape people that complain about the heat.
-
climatologically that kind of weather begins in June, it's rare for it to be muggy and sultry in May. And not even early June, more like after June 15th.
-
96 is a stretch, I'd say more like 84.
-
where is this cold coming from? I don't see it getting any colder than the SST, the highs should all be 55 or higher with lows in the upper 40s.

Records:Highs:EWR: 99 (1996)NYC: 96 (1996)LGA: 97 (1996)JFK: 95 (1996)Lows:EWR: 41 (2002)NYC: 43 (2002)LGA: 44 (2002)JFK: 42 (2002) it's not often that you see all the records line up like this lol 2002: A cold wave across the eastern and central U.S. led to many cities recording record low temperatures for this day. Among them was Hartford, CT where the low of 31° was the latest in the season below freezing temperatures have been recorded. This cold wave began two days earlier with 54 record daily lows set, followed by another 96 on the 19th. and this was after a historic heatwave in April with highs in the upper 90s! and a very hot summer to follow!

I can't wait for one of those winters where the coldest anomalies on the globe spill into the US, giving a brutal winter and TCC and company will distraughtly be posting how warm it is elsewhere on the globe. -
I'm optimistic about Saturday, I think the storm will get the boot Friday evening and we'll have partly cloudy skies for the entire weekend with temps between 65-70.

True. Hopefully the Pacific is more favorable. -

Wait until we near solar min and swtich back to Pac cold phse in several more years.....get an apprciably strong Modoki El Nino and we'll do just fine. -

40/70 Benchmark replied to 40/70 Benchmark's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
It depends on the polar domain.........I don't think we will get a lot of help there, so we'd have to hope that the extra tropical Pacific continues to transition. You probably have more leeway than the east coast, but even you would want to see a -WPO take shape. -

We would need to start seeing signs emerge if it was to tilt one way or the other more than just neutral. Nothing is catching my eye and overall as Bluewave has said it does look like things want to try to progress eastward in the tropics and switch things up a bit but the subsurface would not be super conducive to produce a weak or moderate El Nino right now if that were to actually start to show up. I think it is important to remember that La Nina is just a further enhanced state of what base state looks like as 40/70 has mentioned it is important on location of oceanic and even atmospheric features that dictate overall how things progress. We are pushing out from the spring barrier so we should start to see some signs emerge, what they are yet is anyone's guess. I gotta get to bed though I work tonight so ill be back on later. -
Doesn't look humid through D10 really. dewey may have some at-bats beyond that

2015-2016 was the strongest El Nino on record and 2023-2024 was during a strong cold phase PDO....this is a silly statement. Now, if you want to tell me that 2023-2024 was so much warmer than 1972-1973, and 2015-2016 than 1997-1998 due to CC, okay....but don't compare two entirely different type of El Nino evolutions. Its a lazy, ill informed approach. -
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Would love some warm and dry... alas... I fear humidity will be in play
