2009 type summer, incoming?

Records: Highs: EWR: 93 (2009) NYC: 92 (2009) LGA: 91 (2009) JFK: 86 (2009) Lows: EWR: 34 (1934) NYC: 31 (1919) LGA: 37 (1972) JFK: 37 (1967) Historical: 1834 - Killer frosts were reported in the Deep South. The frost was quite severe around Huntsville AL, and highlighted a backward spring in the South that year. (David Ludlum) 1857: Heavy snow in parts of Connecticut caused buildings to collapse. Six foot snow drifts were reported. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1884: Tornadoes were hard to capture on old cameras with their hard to use glass plate negatives. The first recorded photograph of a tornado was taken on this date by A.A. Adams near Garnett, Kansas. 1890: Very destructive rain, wind and hailstorm at Baltimore doing $100,000 in damage. 1899: A tornado struck Kirksville MO killing 34 persons and destroying 300 buildings. (David Ludlum) 1912: One of the worst tornado outbreaks in Oklahoma's history occurred. 16 tornadoes rated F2 or greater touched down in the state with 6 of them rated F4. 29 people were killed. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1915: The maximum temperature for the date is 95°F. in Washington, DC. (Ref. Washington Weather Records - KDCA) The maximum temperature for the date is 96°F. at the Richmond International Airport and the highest for the month and also occurred on four other dates. (Ref. Richmond Weather Records - KRIC) 1922: For two weeks, the city of New Orleans, LA had been under siege from a major flood on the Mississippi River. On this date, a levee failure occurred 12 miles downriver from New Orleans at Poydras in St. Bernard Parish. The Poydras crevasse would become an opening 1,500 feet wide in the levee and flooding Plaquemines and St. Bernard Parishes, but saving New Orleans. As the Corps of Engineers built more and more levees, the river went higher and higher. The 1922 flood was a preview of a worse flood that would occur in 1927. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1923: A tornado moved east from the northeast corner of Baca County, Colorado. Accompanied by two other funnel clouds, the tornado struck the Sherwood school, 14 miles northwest of Johnson Kansas, killing the teacher and injuring five small children. The body of the teacher was carried 100 yards. The prairie grass in this sparsely settled region appeared to be burned. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1933: The minimum temperature for the date is 38°F. in Washington, DC. (Ref. Washington Weather Records - KDCA) This was the 11th day during the month where the low temperatures at Rockford, IL fell below the freezing mark. The morning low of 26° tied a record low for the date. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1942: A destructive tornado swept across Rogers County and Mayes County in Oklahoma. The tornado struck the town of Pryor killing 52 persons and causing two million dollars damage. (David Ludlum) 1970: Heavy snows fell across Montana, including 39 inches at Red Lodge and 35 inches at Summit. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1978 - An unusually strong occluded front swept out of the Gulf of Alaska and produced the first April thunderstorm of record at Fairbanks. Pea size hail fell northeast of Fairbanks from thunderstorms whose tops were less than 8000 feet. (The Weather Channel) 1984 - Severe thunderstorms associated with an intense cyclone spawned a total of forty-seven tornadoes in two days from Louisiana to Upper Michigan. The tornadoes killed 16 persons and injured 259 others. (Storm Data) 1986: The Chernobyl nuclear power station in Kiev Ukraine suffered a massive explosion. The radioactive cloud of particles and gas carried westward and northwestward, contaminating large areas of Europe in the following week. 1987 - Twenty-two cities in the central and western U.S. reported new record high temperatures for the date. The afternoon high of 83 degrees at Astoria OR smashed their previous record by 13 degrees. Sacramento CA hit 94 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - While Rochester, MN, was blanketed with 13.7 inches of snow, establishing a single storm record for the month of April, Minneapolis MN, just 90 miles away, got only rain. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Thirty-three cities in the central and southeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Afternoon highs of 91 degrees at Evansville IN and Nashville TN equalled April records. Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Iowa to Kentucky, with more than ninety reports of large hail and damaging winds. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 90 mph at Berwick IA. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - Twenty-nine cities from the Carolinas to the Great Lakes Region and western New England reported record high temperatures for the date as readings soared into the 80s and lower 90s. Record high temperatures included 95 degrees at Baltimore MD and 92 degrees at Allentown PA. The record high of 89 degrees at Alpena MI was the third out of six straight record highs for that location, and smashed their previous record for the date by ten degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 1991 - Severe thunderstorms in the central U.S. spawned fifty-five tornadoes from northeastern Texas to Iowa and eastern Nebraska killing twenty-one persons. Early evening thunderstorms over south central Kansas spawned a violent (F-5) tornado whiched traveled 45 miles from southwest of Wichita to north of El Dorado. It killed seventeen persons, including thirteen at the Golden Spur Mobile Home Park in Andover. The tornado also caused 62 million dollars damage to McConnell Air Force Base as it crossed the south side of Wichita. (National Weather Summary 1991:During a severe thunderstorm event, large hail fell over parts of Brown, Spink, Hand, and Buffalo Counties. Both Brown and Hand Counties received hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter. 2003: For only the 11th time since records began in 1871, hail was observed in Key West Florida. A severe thunderstorm produced hail to 1.75 inches in diameter which easily broke the previous record of a half an inch in diameter which was set on May 10, 1961.(Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2007 Accord Publishing, USA)

1.51”. Solid event

Low of 41.7F. Rain total of 0.52”. .

46 / 42 clouds. Clouds may hang on beyond noon but clearing later this afternoon. E/NE flow caps temps in the low-mid 50s. Reprieve Mon / Tue - nice near normal weather - dry / sunny low - upper 60s. Next shot at rain Wed into and maybe through much of Thu with >1.00 potential. Trough figs in to end the week and next weekend which can be unsettled and trend that way. Overall cooler / unsetteled through May5th. Beyond there moderation between towards the second week of the month.

Ok, another game for her this morning and it’s 43 and still freaking raining. You’ve got to be kidding me lol. Took us a good half-hour for us to thaw out yesterday.

Yesterday was another gorgeous one with temperatures in the 50s F, so I headed back to Stowe for a bit of ski touring. Looking at some of the available options, I decided to head to MMSC/Spruce Peak again since the descents there are starting to lose their snow continuity, and top to bottom won’t be very efficient before long. Snow on the Gondola terrain looked more robust, especially over toward Perry Merrill, so that will probably hold out longer in terms of providing more sustained continuous descents. Overall I’d say weather conditions on the mountain were similar to what I experienced last weekend, except that yesterday didn’t have those strong southerly winds. Sometimes winds can be helpful in keeping the snow cooled just a bit more to reduce stickiness, but snow quality wasn’t an issue yesterday, so the lack of wind just wound up making it more comfortable on the mountain. In fact, I think additional spring temperature cycling has helped the snow a bit over the past week, because there was some excellent spring corn out there that topped what I found last weekend. Whereas last weekend I was on the Meadows Quad and Sunny Spruce Quad terrain, yesterday I focused on Sensation Quad terrain, and Main Street delivered some really good surfaces as it often does. The temperature cycling over the past week hasn’t really pushed the snow into sun cup mode, it just sort of smoothed out some terrain areas and set the best areas of snowpack up with that inch or two of corn snow on top that you can just shave off with effortless turns. Unfortunately, not every part of the descent featured those perfect surfaces, and there area already some gaps in the continuous snow if you start in the upper flats of Main Street, but there are still a lot of great turns out there.

They paid more to go from 23 to 20 than the Chiefs did to go from 9 to 6… it was a significant overpay but Pitt was gonna draft lemon and cowboys had us over a barrel. overall love their draft, they should hopefully get 3 offensive starters in the future out of it and the QB should be a fun gadget player like Taysom Hill. Love the tackle they took, between him and the guy they took last year, I think one could be the Lane replacement. Still think we need more depth in the interior oline and safety. Getting a guy like Greenard for 2 3rds was a steal, he’s going to he feast here with our interior dline taking the double teams.

0.13", but at least I (barely) crossed the 1" mark for April. Hope Wednesday delivers.

You usually have to go back a day before to get the broader set to update. On the Xmacis2 site it’s easier to display. Islip had their 12th warmest spring average spring high through the 25th with Philly coming in 3rd place.

1.20” final, close to 2” in the last week.

This is great data - i didn't realize how much warmer relative to normal it was in New Jersey PA. I'm on that site now, but can only see basic stations (ISP, NYC, LGA). How do you get it to show the broader set of stations you're displaying?

0.31” here

1.30" event total here. Nice soaking! Never did see flakes, but it was in the low 30s. Still sitting at 37.

65-70? Maybe WOR. 55-60 here.

I saw that story this am and came here to post it lol.

Nov 2026 - March 2027.

Or maybe with record strong El Niño they don’t change color or fall and just stay on , green all winter?

They may just emerge in September immediately into fall color.

No moderate risk on the day 2 so I’ll probably be wrong. But I still see high risk potential in the Springfield area tomorrow. I’m willing to take the weenie penalty if I’m wrong but at the very least there should be a moderate there. I don’t know I’m just some fucking guy.

Low of 41 with .54” of rain.
