  1. Early indications are that summer 2025 will be warmer than normal in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The potential exists for a much warmer than normal summer (more than 1° above normal). Good as long as it's not this wet and not extremely humid.
  2. 72 and sunny no winds, this is the warmest it's been here since last Saturday when it was 83 here.
  3. If you're a Mets fan today was the perfect day for the home opener, the sun came out right around 2 pm and it's blindingly bright right now and no wind.
  4. Today is not bad at all, no wind and bright and sunny this afternoon!
  5. Well the Mets home opener should at least be okay. It's bright and sunny again here!
  6. Now MLB starts in late March lol
  7. Chris, do you have the earliest and latest 90 degrees for JFK too? I wonder if 2002 had the earliest 90 degrees at Central Park. I'm pretty sure the latest 90 degrees happened in October a few years ago.
  8. Yes that was one magical day, we were in the 80s as late as 5:10 PM before that cold front came through. I find it really interesting that 1990 had both the earliest and latest 90 degree day (and 2021 is second in both) and both are records that stand out, I doubt 3-13 will ever be bested and 10-14 was only tied. Nothing else is within 2 weeks of either record!!
  9. Completely overcast again, it was nice while it lasted. Looks like we won't get continuous sunshine until Tuesday when the cold air gets here.
  10. JFK: 29 (1995) Underrated arctic air shot in 1995 around this time, we were only in the 30s during the day with bright sunshine and gusty winds and low to mid 20s at night!! Mid January weather in early April!! LGA: 76 (2010)JFK: 73 (2010) This early heat was a predecessor to our earliest 90 degrees on record (92) on the 7th!!
  11. More than a bit it's very sunny here, MUCH better than yesterday now!
  12. with sunny skies? without sunshine any so-called warm up is meaningless (especially here where we deal with an onshore flow)
  13. my first snowstorm memory!! sometimes people forget that entire week was very cold and we had another (minor) snowstorm a week later, about an inch of snow here!!
  14. Something we might never see again
  15. Fortunately, Sunday will be the last cloudy and rainy day, a strong push of cold air will drive all of this muck well offshore.
  16. This makes sense and why we get longer periods of dry weather and longer periods of wet weather. As far as the current pattern is concerned, we're going to need a strong push of cold air to drive the moisture south of us so we can clear out and finally get sun back.
  17. where do the record 500mb ridges come from? how accurately can we predict them in advance, Chris?
  18. looks like lots of flooding. I'd rather have April 2002
  19. I noticed that the fast Pac flow makes it drier in the fall and winter but wetter in the Spring. I wonder if it will go back to drier again as the jet stream moves north for the Summer. 1966 would have been my favorite summer (never experienced it but just reading about it) and 1966-67 would have been my favorite winter of that decade.
  20. Yep, my advice is west of Oceanside and north of Island Park is good! Lots of birds around here for birdwatching too, I don't know if they're here because of the stuff I planted or if they were always here and I just started noticing them since I got a birding camera, but I never knew so many different bird species live so close to the city. There's one I haven't ID'ed yet, it looks like a very large starling but it has a large fan shaped tail which it opens and closes. It's a dark brown color.
  21. I'm 10-15 minutes from there. I use three weather station data, 2 in Lynbrook, one in Valley Stream and one in Oceanside.
  22. I love 5 corners, where all the main roads meet lol. It's still thundering here intermittently. This is real spring weather, anything can happen at any time (aside from snow of course.)
  23. There was a break and more heavy rain and thunder has moved in here in SW Nassau
  24. It's raining so hard here it could be a damn monsoon!! Whomever said it wasn't going to rain were very obviously wrong. I trust the forecasts put out by our local news stations much more than any individual model, because the news station forecasts tend to be right. Rain for the next 4 days, not all the time, but for a good percentage of the time. Experiencing a deluge right now! I just heard thunder too!
  25. almost 20 inches in that storm in Philly!
