Based on current guidance looks like 33/34 for Central Park for Wednesday morning low only.

69 / 59 winds coming back NNE and temps will frop toward 2 - 5 pm into the 50s. Ahead of that quick surge to the 70s in this back and forth overall warm pattern. Chill down Tue-Wed then warm up with 70s in the warm spots perhaps more, the end of the week and into next weekend, we'll see if we can remain relatively dry with <.50 the next week / 7 days.

Yup, was 65 last Saturday, and my wife was complaining how chilly it was. I told her the normal high is 67.

Well, GA has set a record for least amount of rainfall from Sept to April. We are in trouble. Add the legal burning they do down here, is a recipe for disaster.

So, Wednesday might be the latest in the season that Central Park has dropped into the 20s in nearly three decades! What wild temperature swings, so far, this spring!

my high for yesterday was at midnight. of course that will probably be the high for today as well.

Yesterday I had snow, sleet, freezing rain, thunder, rain, and sun with temps in the 50s.

April 10, 1997: 28°

Likely some record lows on Wednesday morning before another big warmup, late next week. Central Park might drop into the upper 20s Wednesday morning. When was the last time, the park dipped into the 20s, this late in the season? Does anyone know?

Today's warmth will be cut short with a BDCF coming through from east to west in the afternoon. Temps near 70 and above around noon drops into the 40's and 50's by the evening. Have a good chance at 70 here on the south shore with offshore winds to start. Only one 70+ day here so far and lately most days are barely making it into the 60's so we take days like this! 1pm HRRR: 5pm HRRR:

Looks like another crap Saturday on tap with sun and warm junk. Tomorrow should be better.

Wait until any AI data centers are built anywhere near KPIT lol

Dendy def needs to move. He’ll freeze through early May.

It’s a gorgeous morning tbh

I’m good. Weather is just as bad and it’s more expensive everything.

49..maybe 50 before we get that refreshing spring air off Cape Cod bay

Another mid summer day. I bet DC easily breezes by 90 degrees today. We're the Tug Hill of heat. We get heat like they get snow. Super easy and always busting high.

I would say that the cold this winter in parts of North America was uneventful compared to what we used to get in the past. Sure some localized areas did see intervals of record cold. But the areas of record warmth overpowered the colder ones so North America still finished with a significantly warmer winter than the old days at +1.522 C during DJF 2025-2026. This winter was the 5th warmest on record for North America.The record highs were of a greater ranking and number than the areas of record cold. The last colder winter for North America occurred back in 1994. This is why numerous cold and snow records set that winter still stand to this day. The warmest winter on record was 2023-2024 with 2024-2025 experiencing the 2nd warmest winter. So our warmest winters are becoming warmer with a shrinking winter cold pool. Each jump in global temperatures like we saw in 2015-2016 and 2023-2024 raises the bar for record warmth even higher. This is why the warming acceleration over the last decade is so significant. https://climatereanalyzer.org/research_tools/monthly_tseries/
