Currently 38 in Walpack and 41 in Sandyston per NJ WXNET. Those places in the NW Sussex County valleys radiate like crazy so sub freezing likely there come Wednesday morning and close to freezing in a few spots tomorrow morning.

47 so far.

Jeez 60 here

30F at 3,600ft and 41F at 1,500ft… 45F here with gusty winds.

One could say that Miller A having higher LEQ and lower snow ratios due to their warmer nature, they likely have more underestimation due to compaction.

40"+ was common N&W of BOS for 78.

44/37 currently. 30s tomorrow night likely.

Here are a couple: https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/33/11/jcli-d-19-0650.1.xml https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/31/23/jcli-d-18-0159.1.xml

The NW wind is crazy this evening. House shaking gusts at times.

From a strictly climo POV, yes, such a formation in the Bay of Campeche and intensification as a TC to the Gulf Coast happens often, but this climo is a weakness at times for AI models b/c not all follow climo or what would be more typical.

I read a paper that Paul Roundy had shared in the last couple of years that discussed any known global impacts. Like you said, a lot if it has to be pieced together from written records from individuals in parts of the world in that time frame & then the rest from reanalysis. If I can find the paper I will share it.

Also, here is the 18z SHIPS output for 92L, The environmental shear is currently moderate and increases w/ time so it is 30 kt by 84 hr. https://hurricanes.ral.ucar.edu/realtime/plots/northatlantic/2026/al922026/stext/26100518AL9226_ships.txt

If Isaias ends up becoming a formidable cane, this would be a significant coup by DeepMind

Any hikers or mountain enthusiasts in here willing to chime in on the accuracy of Mountain-Forecast.com for summit conditions or other resources. Some of my nephews are looking into hiking Mt Lafayette in the Whites very early on Saturday morning. They're even talking about trying to summit for sunrise. They're young, healthy, solid hikers but they haven't done winter hikes and I'm making sure they are informed and prepared and honestly trying to talk them out of it. I even texted their mother and told her it's not advisable.

Down to 50 here. The leaves have really begun to change here finally...with a noticeable amount of brown already. Sent from my SM-S948U using Tapatalk

By Saturday it will show Raleigh to expect .25" as usual

Something doesn't seem right. I was surprised the 18z ECWMF suddenly when the GFS route. But the 700-300 mb RH fields and PWAT anoms tell the story. I attached 18z ECMWF 72, 105, and 114 hr 700-300 RH. Even when it is still the Bay of Campeche, it is "halved" from a strong moisture gradient, and it just gets stronger w/ time. looking like a typical ET low development. And look at the 114 hr fcst PWAT anomaly. That clearly shows a frontal structure, and compare the PWAT anomalies to Simon in the EPAC. That's not nearly the anomaly you'd see in a typical TC. I can see NHC "playing games" here. Calling it something that it is not b/c of non-meteorological factors (social media nonsense, its sensible wx impact, etc). But ET low can and do form in the Gulf in Oct (see the 1992 case I posted about earlier) and given the strength of El Nino, it makes ET lows this early even more likely. In fact, by 36 hr, the 250 mb STJ become quite apparent near the Gulf Coast, and in 5 days close to landfall, a strong 250 s/w is present in the region, obviously aiding in the system's development. Some might go, "but the simulated IR from the GFS shows an eye!" Well, it is the GFS, and yes, initially it could be a TS/STS but here lies another issue, transition to a PT/ET low when it is approaching a landfall. Sandy anyone? You see the problem here. But I say, in the end, it is what is is, and call it as such. Don't let external pressures and nonsense contaminate the met science!

Today’s Euro weekly for 10/5-11 is the final one: Look how much the cold signal for 10/5-11 in the E weakened overall over the last 10 days. However, the signal remained at about the same level in from the NE to down the coast NYC to Hatteras: Sep 25th run for 10/5-11: much stronger cold signal Week 2 (10/12-18) is warm. Just a few days ago it was cool. Other than week 1, the only other cool E weak is week three, 10/19-25: this week has been mainly coolish over the last week of runs:

The coolest air so far this fall will move into the region tonight. As a result, New York City could see the temperature dip below 50° for the first time this season tomorrow morning. Lows should fall to the middle and upper 40s in New York City on Wednesday morning. Some distant suburbs could see lows bottom out in the 30s. Thursday and Friday will be milder days with the mercury returning to the lower 70s across much of the region. The week will be dry. The next chance for precipitation could be Sunday or the following Monday. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +5.3°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +3.2°C for the week centered around September 30. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +4.63°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +2.92°C. Both ENSO regions have set new all-time records. The ongoing strong El Niño, will continue to strengthen through the mid-fall. The SOI was -21.34 yesterday. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +2.033 today.

everybody keeps talking about October warmth… it’s like a bunch of 60s. I just looked to make sure I’m not crazy.. the normal high at this time of year 66°. Next week 50s. What warmth is everybody talking about? Sept was slightly BN. This hasnt been an unusually warm fall so far

Leaving work and it's chilly in Kearny!

Temp down to 54 degrees currently.

I agree, but can’t rule out a solid storm away from the coast. If you are on the coast south of Boston, I think you are porked for snowfall totals.
