  1. Yes, I'm not sure what the dew point is, but they said humidity is 46%
  2. The Yankees game in Tampa is about to start and it's also 87 degrees there.
  3. You need to live on the south shore, it fell into the low 70s, now up to 76 again. The snow difference isn't that bad, none of us get that much snow anyway lol.
  4. lol are you sure thats accurate? anyway it's been 96 degrees before in April and felt really good (very low humidity and deep blue skies).
  5. why it's not even humid lol it hit 80.1 here at 2:27 pm and has since dropped off, I think the sea breeze has come in.
  6. what are you even wearing? switch to tshirt and shorts
  7. yes nice offshore wind, got up to 80 here
  8. a lot of these TV weather people don't know any science at all, there are some exceptions like Lee Goldberg of course.
  9. it will never be completely predictable-- too much chaos at play.
  10. lots of breaks here and patches of blue skies up to 78 here now
  11. cold neutral after la nina has historically resulted in some of our warmer winters and lower snowfall totals 1989-90 and 2001-02 come to mind
  12. Chris, the oceans are acting as a check and regulating the high temperatures for us (somewhat at any rate). Our decade for most number of 90 degree days was the 90s. Or to be more precise, 1991 to 2002. We haven't seen a consistently super hot summer since 2010 and before that it was 1993 that set all our records (and 1983 before that.) I don't believe it's an accident or a fluke that we're seeing more seabreeze summers, this is the ocean's response to what we're doing to the climate. The planet always seeks to find a balance.
  13. Records: Highs: EWR: 92 (1976) NYC: 92 (1976) LGA: 85 (2002) JFK: 84 (1985) Neverending heatwaves in 1976 and 2002 lol 1976 - The northeastern U.S. was in the midst of an early season heat wave, and the Boston Marathon took place in 90 degree heat. At Providence RI the mercury hit 98 degrees. (David Ludlum) omg 98 degrees? see, we never get this kind of early April heat anymore lol
  14. when will these sea breeze summers stop? we need a stronger SE ridge.
  15. I'm not sure if those forecasts are ripped off the GFS though, this past winter I noticed that even when the GFS had a snowstorm for us, those forecasts did not. I've heard they use an inhouse blend of models. ABC/Accuweather and TWC do at any rate.
  16. On the positive side those local TV forecasts are much more accurate than some of the maps that get posted on here (especially during the winter lol.)
  17. there's some sunshine from time to time but not a lot. The winds are not strong right now.
  18. We used to average over 3 feet of snow decade after decade. Things took a turn after the 1910s. I know 1933-34 was very cold and snowy as was 1942-43, but the last hurrah for the old winters was really 1917-18. It was all downhill after that. 1931-32 was a foreshadowing and sign of things to come.
  19. it will only happen if there is a lot of sunshine
  20. not these high winds and clouds that we have now though. Yesterday was better.
  21. and 4 solid snow events here in April 1875, including a double digit two day snowstorm and the latest snowfall accumulation on record for Central Park (3.0" on the 25th).
  22. our low was in the mid 30s last night we were 5 degrees colder than JFK. Frost can be experienced with temperatures as high as 36-37.
  23. 66 was the high here at 1 pm and then the clouds moved in and it got very windy, now down to 61.
  24. it would be nice to get more than 1.5 sunny days lol, the clouds have moved in and with the winds it now feels cold. a big blocking ridge would keep these fronts away from us.
