Central Park received 1.94” of rain in the last hour. That set a new hourly record. The old record was 1.76”, which was set on September 8, 2004. 

Total Central Park JJA rainfall in 1999 = 3.92"

Central Park is currently the twelfth wettest summer all time so far. By the end of Monday, it might be second all time.

Well multiple Mets have said it actually looks like an eye is starting to clear. 

Looking at the IR, it looks like a classic sheared system, not one where you expect a classic eye, in fact 12Z SHIPS guidance indicates shear to increase over the system in a few hours.

NW side has improving outflow and definitely looks like a decent sized eye trying to pop on the vis:

I think it is more of an artifact that the clouds all around it are warming more than anything else.

PSEG talking about 7-10 days of outage certainly raised a lot of eyebrows.  Wasnt PSEG brought in here so this kind of thing wouldnt happen?

Give a worse case scenario, then if it is far less than 7 - 10 days, then you look good.

Central Park has not been above 96 degrees since September 8, 2015. That is tied for the second longest streak of all time with January 1, 1869 [beginning of record] to June 29, 1874. The all time record is ten years and one day from July 2, 1901 to July 3, 1911.

Number of days that KDCA has had a low temperature below (+5) degrees:

1994 - 4 days

Since 1994 - 0 days

Last top 30 coldest Central Park winter... 1993 - 1994

Last top 30 coldest Central Park autumn... 1976

If winter ended today, Central Park would tie for the tenth warmest winter ever.

Central Park may break a record high on New Years Day.

WOw those are crazy echos.

12Z UKMET has nearly 2.00" liquid equivalent precipitation and 1 and a half feet of snow just north of the City.

00Z RGEM ensembles are all rain for NYC for this event.

Central Park hasn't hit 97 degrees in five years, one of the longest streaks in the Park's history.

Water seeped through the bottom of my windows and  started a mini flood.

The rain is crazy right now

Lots of white caps being kicked up on the Coney Island beach cam.

The SPC actually scaled back the slight risk for portions of NJ and placed them in a marginal risk for now. We will see if things get bumped back further north in later outlooks.

The problem is with the rain cooled air, would take some effort for air mass recovery later in the day.

Possible top ten warmest March?

Central Park will likely do something it has only done once in its history, have a February and March combine for only a trace of snowfall. Only other year to do that was in 2002.

Like an early spring afternoon in the desert with deep blue skies and low humidity.

Newark Liberty FAIR      57   9  14%

Not unheard of in April to have relative humidity in Central Park under 10%.

I didn’t realize DCA has never had a zero (i.e. not even a T) February... BWI had zeroes in 1884 and 1898 though.

So has Central Park, in 1998.

For those who are interested, the February and all-time AO+ record is +5.911, which was set on February 26, 1990.

A bit ironic, that day Central Park had a low temperature of nine degrees and that was just after a blowtorch January and most of February which introduced the modern era of blowtorch winters around here.

Amen, we've only had an inch at a time this winter so a few inches would be like a HECS.  LOL.    Currently partly sunny here and 62.   We've had colder days in April!

Actually, we have had colder days in August, twice in Central Park history has a daily August maximum failed to reach 60 degrees.

This may help you out:

It seems to me that NWS is pushing this 'weather wire' protocol now. What confuses me is that the EMWIN internet feed, which was around for anyone to use with internet access for twenty years is being replaced by something that requires a 'user name' and 'password' from the NWS. That also requires sending your personal information to the NWS, which to me is like going to the National Football League web site for game scores and asking the user for their personal information first.

Apparently, I am seeing the unfortunate fact that EMWIN internet feed is being discontinued on 2 December.

As many hurricane force wind gusts as you will ever see for a coastal storm for NYC, Long Island and SE New England.
