Conditions worsened across the area when more torrential rain fell during the first four days of October. Rainfall amounts of 6 to 10 inches were common, while 15 to 20 inch amounts were reported over north-central Oklahoma. The excessive rainfall caused most major rivers in the state to flood, requiring the evacuation of about 30,000 people from 25 towns.

Warmest so late it did hit 80 (latest) last year JFK; 11/1/2024: 82 11/7/2022: 80

57 / 41 sunny. NE flow keeps it cooler the next 42 hours. Much warmer Fri - Tue (10/7) more 80s for many. Looks like Sun - Tuesday are the warmest days. Drops back towards normal / above beyond there. 10/1 - 10/2 : Below normal - cooler NE flow 10/3 - 10/7 : Warmer to much warmer than normal 10/8 - beyond : near / slightly above normal overall

Thanks I remember the one in 2007 but had forgotten the one in 2016. 86 F is 30 C, is this the latest such temperature at JFK Tony? And was that 80+ temperature at JFK last year in November the latest 80+ reading there?

JFK did get to 86 in 2016 on Oct 19th.

10/8/07 : 90

54F here in Lanco. Closer to normal. Beautiful morning. .

Chris when did it hit 90 the other time at JFK in October, was that 10/8/2007? Did Newark hit 90 on that date too? I think the two 90s I remember in October happened on 10/2/2019 (95) and 10/7/2007 (90).

I get where you’re coming from — most of those standard sites are overloaded with ads and not really built for serious users who need accuracy and speed. The truth is, if you’re looking for something on the level of RadarScope or beyond, off-the-shelf “free” tools usually fall short. Cost savings in the long run often come from going the custom route.

wow this is very interesting and sort of like how the first week of April has more snow than the last week of March lol

8.28 in one day has to be a monthly record, Tony??

how strong was the September 1882 TS4 when it made landfall on Long Island, Roger?

It just works out that the first week of October has warmer record highs than the last week of September.

Yay JFK closes out the month over 80

JFK hit 90 on 10/8/2007 I think Ed?

Yes indeed this was the other 90+ day I remember from October. The even more extreme one was October 2, 2019 when it hit 95-96 here with a HI of 100 lol

The odd thing is the first week of October has been warmer, I know of at least two occasions in my life when I experienced 90+ in October. And even 95 a few years ago. Warmer over several days but nothing too extreme. 80+ is what we got last year in November too (and as late as November 15 in 1993.)

I disagree, models have hinted for days it will strengthen somewhat due to the interaction with Humberto and peak near Bermuda. It looks as healthy as it has its entire life this morning. Not saying it’s likely but this storm has not peaked yet and the window for cat 3 is still open

MDT ended September with a mean temp of 70.2, good for 13th warmest all-time.

Sept Monthly total 3.79". High temp 87....Low 49
