winterwx21

40s and rain, talk about a horrendous weather week. Looking forward to the 2nd week of April when we'll see a big warmup to the 70s. Anyway I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.

Yeah as you pointed out yesterday, next week looks miserable. Rainy early to mid week and then chilly and windy mid to late week. I'm hoping we can break out of this pattern and get back to nice weather for the 2nd week of April.

Only .38 here so far. Looks like just light rain the rest of the afternoon, so we'll probably end up with only around a half inch here. As others pointed out, the eastern solutions ended up being right with this. Still a miserable rainy day though.

Yeah I was outside planting lettuce and broccoli this afternoon, and it got nasty with the light rain and temp drop to 47 degrees. I wish we could go back to the 70s that we had earlier in the month.

Yep no surprise that the models were wrong with that east trend that they had for a little while. Another super soaker tomorrow, ugh. I assume opening day for the Mets will be moved to Friday.

Yep. HRRR tonight is pretty far west for Thursday too. We can hope all we want for the east trend, but that goes against what usually happens.

NAM now east on the 18z run as well. Dry Thursday afternoon for the Mets opener. Let's hope this trend continues!

12z Euro is east with Thursday's rain. It would be great if the east trend wins for a change instead of the usual NW/wetter winning. Would be nice if Thursday is mostly dry and the Mets can play their home opener, but I definitely wouldn't bet on that yet.

Yeah 53 degrees here today felt great with the strong late march sunshine. I went outside with a sweatshirt on, but quickly took it off and worked with just a t-shirt on. Tomorrow won't be as comfortable since it will be cloudy.

Time to get the gardening season started! Today I'm planting seeds (peas and radishes), and later in the week I'll plant lettuce and broccoli plants. I was hoping it would be a bit warmer today, but it's still a beautiful day. We've been spoiled by all the warm weather, so near normal early spring temps in the 50s feels chilly to us now. We have to get used to it since there's no sign of warm weather coming back for awhile. Looks like lots of high temps in the 50s ahead. Too bad it's looking like another super soaker for Thursday. Bad timing for the Mets home opener. I assume it'll be postponed until Friday.

Me too. Right now I'm sick and tired of these big soaking rainstorms, but during the summer I'll be right here you you and Stormlover rooting hard for our area to be hit by thunderstorms.

Low temp of 24 here. Horrible that we're looking at another big soaker on Saturday. I'm looking forward to Monday. Starting the vegetable garden that day and it looks like nice weather. Forecast is mid 50s, but with lots of sunshine I wouldn't be surprised if it's an overperformer with temps getting close to 60.

Too bad the idea of Tuesday being just a brief cool shot and then a quick warmup failed. Now it looks cool through the weekend, but thankfully next week looks warmer. Not a huge warmup like we had last week, but a decent one. We'll probably get back to 60s. I'm starting the garden with the cool season vegetables next week, so the warmer temps will be nice for the spring planting.

Impressive to be at 72 degrees here with the mostly cloudy skies.

76 degrees here! Perfect weather for spending a lot of time outside.

73 degrees here! Spectacular weather! Might be even a couple degrees warmer tomorrow. I'd love to have weather like this in late march when it's time to start the garden with cold tolerant vegetables, but it rarely works out that way. Still looks like a decent cold shot for the official start of spring. High temps probably mid-upper 40s next Tuesday-Wednesday, but it will be only a brief cold shot.

Ended up with 1.53" here.

Thankfully it looks like our last big soaking for awhile.

Figures that after a very warm winter, a cold shot will likely be coming in around the 19th for the official start of spring. But before then we could have temps in the 70s late next week, as bluewave pointed out.

19 inches here. Not bad considering how warm this winter was. We were very lucky.

We might actually get 6 dry days after Saturday's storm. Boy do we need a dry stretch.

1.10 here so far, but it's tapering off now (will add a little more later tonight). More heavy rain to the south and east, but you can see it's heading for Long Island. The models were correct to have the heavier amounts to the east, but still a good soaking here. About what was expected with a little over an inch.

East winds seem to be putting a cap on it though. Was 61 here earlier but now down to 58. Still an overperforming beautiful day.

Had a high temp of 69 here today. Spectacular weather ... a top 10 day of the year. I hope everyone enjoyed it since we have a rainy week coming up.

I'll gladly take snow through mid march, but then I don't want it anymore in late march when it's time to start gardening season. I do think a rainstorm is MUCH more likely for the NYC area due to the warm pattern. Hard to get a snowstorm heading into mid march without much cold air to work with. However march can be a crazy month, so we can't completely rule it out. Wouldn't be shocking if we pull off wet snow.
