The sky is pink and purple here - it’s cool

In upper manhattan: my high was about 97.5 F at 3 PM. Now I'm at 94.1 F. I'm not sure how accurate my sensor is though. I'm ready for the rain.

Current temperature in upper Manhattan: 97.5 F

For some reason, my thermometer has stuck closer to the Park than anything else. It has stayed a little cooler. That might be because my neighborhood in upper Manhattan is a little cooler than many others (based on maps I have seen), and my sensor is higher up next to an apartment. I'm at 89.8F now.

It's cooling off a little bit here. My thermometer is at 94F now. (Upper Manhattan)

May not bode well for hitting 100. It seems like we always fight storm debris when trying hit 100.

The HRRR seems to think it will stay north. It's pushing south, but it doesn't seem to be making much headway. We'll see though!

On July 22, 2011, at one point, the temperature was 103 and the dewpoint was 71 at Central Park. --> HI 113 F. It will be interesting to see if we beat that heat index this weekend.

Teterboro's temperature sensor acted a little odd today - does this seem right, or could there be some problem? (such as sun exposure) (such as

Poof! Goes the storm. I don’t mind, yesterday was enough rain

The storm in NJ near Newark is pushing north, it seems like it will affect upper Manhattan, as well as Midtown.

It's starting to look like Sunday will be warmer than Saturday

There were lightning strikes all around and thunder in upper Manhattan. My cat didn’t seem to care very much though.

Sleet pinging in Upper Manhattan

Wow I don’t understand why the radar would have that. And the weather app states that’ it’s snowing in the Bronx. Any Mets care to let us know what would cause that false return?

I'm not a met but there's a huge fire at Elmwood Park NJ in a paper factory. The smoke from it must be picking up on radar. The weather app probably uses the radar to find the type of precipitation instead of observations from weather stations.

Weather the last 10 years is like going to a baseball game.  Something new happens every time.  The odds of me witnessing another lunar eclipse in < 10 degree below windchill are probably pretty low.

Down to 6 in the past hour here.   The disparity between the temps here and the temps N&W seems less than I'm used to.

It’s likely because the howling NW winds prevented radiational cooling there, but helped the city cool down by bringing in air not affected by the heat island

Nice looks wintry up there huh. You guys think the city goes to 5 or lower tonight?

I’d go with 6-8 F, just because the models are often a little too cold for the city (except for the GFS which can be too high in the close range)

Snows mixing in on the upper west side

Thanks!  Yeah, I can imagine having a good spreadsheet with that kind of data would be invaluable for quickly checking climo/records.  Have you ever talked to the NWS about sharing it?  I wish they provided data like that.  

There is a lot of historical data available at the ACIS website, here: http://scacis.rcc-acis.org/. There are lots of cool features like the accumulation graph which shows how our year's rainfall has compared to other years.

Let’s just ban that awul word. 

Hes talking about teleconnections. Tellies sounds like he’s talking about the telletubbies  

That would be great, tellies sounds very weird and I don’t like it... maybe we can say Tconns if really short on time or just say teleconnections.

It looks like it will become warmer and then it will become cool again around 11/27 or 11/28. I don’t think we’ll see any more snow this month but I think that 12/3 to 12/10 is a time to watch.

About 30 minutes ago I measured 6-6.5 inches snow in Upper Manhattan. Looking close to Central Park

5” bed stuy. Anyone near me have similar numbers?

I have 5-5.5” in Manhattan. I will go to check again soon though 

According to Google Maps it would take 1 hour and 52 minutes to drive from the southern tip of Manhattan to the northern tip of Manhattan, along the fastest route. Judging the condition of the roads now it makes sense

i am a little past the upper east side the streets are snow covered and the sidewalks as  well..posters who are in the harlem area will vouch  what i say is 100% correct...

Where I am in Upper Manhattan no surfaces were spared. On the parts where no cars went there around around 3 inches of snow on the roads, and I measured about 5-5.5 inches on grassy areas.

I measure 5.5 inches in Uptown Manhattan, still coming down
