Even as New York City sweltered in 97-degree heat on September 23, 1895, it was on the verge of a dramatic plunge in temperatures. The mercury still reached 90° on September 26, but a sharp cooldown followed. Just two days later, the high struggled to reach 68°, and by September 30, temperatures had dropped further, with a high of 60° and a low of 47°. The chill deepened as October began, with a low of 44° on the 1st, and the entire first week remained unseasonably cool. A reinforcing shot of cold air arrived on October 9, delivering a low of 38° and a daytime high of just 47°, followed by a low of 37° on October 10. The rest of the month continued a mainly cool pattern, with five more mornings dipping into the 30s, marking October 1895 as a notably chilly chapter in the city's weather history. With a monthly mean temperature of 52.4°, October 1895 was tied with October 1887 as the seventh coolest October on record. The last October that was at least as cool as October 1895 was October 1925.

0.6 here, not a bad soak

0.5”+ totals from that round here.

Is this going to be another event that poos the bed for 95 and east?

Right at 1/2" here mtd, 0.0 for the past 10 days. heard thunder on and off all weekend it seemed like but your screw zone has engulfed me finally. 1-3" weekend totals all around me.

WPC seems to have cut back rainfall of total significantly with their latest afternoon update in the 7-Day. Haven't had a chance to look at the models. Do the models concur with less rainfall for our area?

It was. October 1895 was very cool.

0.01" at home.

There's a hurricane that's going to hit the Azores, they're going in the wrong direction lol.

Just like back in 1895 and 1896 (I kid but you know what I mean lol).

Boring zzzz It can be warm but the weather has been a snooze fest. Give me a hurricane or something

NYC: 97 (1895) now THIS is pretty crazy lol

it was 97 on this date back in 1895, I wonder if that was our latest upper 90s on record Don (upper 90s = 97-99), we had some crazy heat in the 1890s (a 10 day heatwave in 1896 too).

Looks like October might be warm and dry just like it was last year.

Probably not. I am fairly sure that most or all of the NYC region have already seen their last 90s. In fact, there has been a big change in the ECMWF weeklies for the week of September 29-October 6 with the new run that just came out. 9/22 Run: 9/23 Run: Beyond that, all the weeks are warmer than the were on the preceding run.

This is much better than 50s with wind, omg I hate that weather.

Maybe this isn't the last 80s just yet Don?

Looks like I got trained pretty good at my place, looking forward to checking the gauge when I get home.

86/69/90

Getting another heavy shower now.... Sun back out. We were on the southern edge. .23.

Two brief but heavy downpours this afternoon, followed immediately by bright sunshine.

Basically a torrential downpour. No T&L yet

I mean hoodies and shorts can get you thru mid Dec if youre a dude

The Euro Weeklies ensemble and control is hinting at the first strong cold fronts of the season beginning in mid-October. Waaaay out there(huge grains o salt), the ensemble is hinting at sharp turn to colder during November w/ a PNA ridge popping out West and hooking into the AO region. Base warm pattern until mid Oct, transition w/ retrograding ridge into the West, and then looks like potential cold for November.

I can’t see the Catoctin’s right now.
