I’m in Salt Lake City right now.

lt is 100°F.. The high is expected to be 103. Tomorrow 105.

For perspective the normal high is 82F

Take a look at any weather app I and go out two weeks. I don’t see one day that is not 15° above normal or more.

This is a very scary Ridge. Hope that it does not move east and hope that these people catch a break out here because it is dry as a bone and we are just getting started. This is a tinderbox. Very bad situation out west.

All the best severe events growing up in PA happened on slight risk days, Mod risks almost invariably disappointed. The only exception was the high risk on May 31, 1998.

It is a mental thing. Same with snowstorms...the best ones are always the ones that are unexpected

Not really, heat is electric and one is kept at 50 when I am at the other one.

 

Dont justify that with an answer. A lot of us in this forum have two multiple houses.

  45° F, pouring. Heat has been on for two days. Even the secondary heat in the basement has kicked on.

I’m having a barbecue later and I’m going to light the fireplace and the drink du jour will be hot toddies

I blame part of it on the loss of our bat population. Whether it be from the white nose syndrome or loss of habitat. 

I think gnats really thrive on moisture as well.

I just know from the beach house when it is still and humid...That’s when they are out in force.

We just live in a different climate in terms of humidity then we did 30 years ago

Heat kicked on.

Happy Memorial Day!

GFS up to no good again:

I wish the double 52s were the most unbelievable thing on that chart

More accurately stated, the Central Park thermometer has not recorded a reading above 96 degrees since that date...

There is more a play here though. Our minimums have been increasingly warm,  but haven’t had the extreme upper 90s/low 100s that we used to have. The obvious answer is that moist air cools and heats slower.

People on here like to pick on the Central Park reading three months of the year for temps, 3 months a year for snow, and ignore the problems for the other 6 months...But I would be curious to know if a densely forested park in the middle of an urban heat Island is experiencing this phenomenon to a greater degree.

The airports are easy; particularly LaGuardia and Newark...They are slabs of cement in densely populated areas. JFK is much larger, has much more open space with grass, is in a national park, and is abeam the Atlantic Ocean.

But I wonder if there is more to this than ASOS placement. Has anyone actually visited the ASOS recently and seen the conditions around it?

surprised i saw no forecast of any storminess tonight for the city

This is north. I bet city sees a sprinkle in eastern sections

Yonkers-> Oyster Bay track

Thunderstorms inbound. Surprised no posts about it

46F

Everyone loves the beautiful weather

However, let’s not mask the fact that this is yet another relentless +10 period.

It is way too early for this, with no extended normal weather in sight. 
 

Very alarming...again

30F frost. high yesterday 65F.

Rockies weather. Very nice

33F at Cross County

39F at Bronx line

43F in Queens

The urban heat island on these above normal days always fascinates me in its strength.

45F Dense Fog. less than 1/4 vis

I love a foggy morning!

28F And unexpectedly cold run this morning

I kept waiting for the power to go out.

Very intense winds all night long. 18 F now

where did this damn wind come from?  it feels like the middle of winter right now.

I heard a tv met say "it isn't the temperature that matters, it's what it feels like which matters, so dont even look at the temperature" lol

 

 

Cold Front swung thru.

NW wind at 12 kts gusting to 30 throughout region

It's not over it took a vacation for a few weeks, we'll have more WSW's count on it

It’s over. A vacation for a few weeks at the end of February brings you mid March. Just running out the clock at this point.

Beyond that, it’s wet slop and a note in record book.

39F at 6 am. Well above my forecasted low. High was 54F yesterday. 

54F

Beautiful day.

Good run...But a sad, abrupt end to it all.  

Much warmer on drive from Westchester to city.

39F->46F in a few miles.

Very unusual during the daylight hours

A sheet of ice this evening...This snow turned to rain and ice after 2 inches. quite the day for winter weather when none was expected! 34F

Very very slippery. Just took a slide down driveway with snowblower in tow

Hastings flipped.

Nice way to wrap up February.

Although I always snow to rain events.

I almost rather it be all rain
