I thought it also hit 80 on April 9th?

EWR only got to 77 then.

Kids don’t have passports or else a would have gone to Caribbean. Didn’t feel like going to Florida again, so we are driving down to Asheville, Nc and checking out the blue ridge parkway, then up to Hershey 

There’s always Puerto Rico and US Virgin Island without passports. It’s pretty easy just make an appointment at post office for them this summer.  Regardless, should be a nice trip down to NC and Hershey. Enjoy and hope weather works out.

God that would be fucking terrible. Going to Hershey with my family end of April. Would suck to be in the 30s and 40s. 

Good luck, I'm sure it'll be 60s to 70 during the day in Hershey at least.  No worries in Grand Cayman for us thankfully, haha!

Crazy how quickly so many trees just popped leaves yesterday. 2 days ago some of my trees had no semblance of leaves and today they are half leafed out already 

Full sun and warm temps will do that in mid April. Trees were just waiting for some nice days to arrive.

This is what you wanted. Hope you're chilled to the bone. 

A few beers in & he’ll feel fine, haha.

The cold front late next week looks very impressive as the Euro and GFS have lows in the 30s in NYC for next weekend.

EPS also has the pesky NW cutoff afterwards it appears, so it'll be a slow moderation of warmth.

People will likely be moving away from Miami because of sea level rise.  They already get sunny day flooding.  Projections are that a lot of that coastal population will be moving to Orlando and other points inland.

 

King Tides, which I don't recall being a thing when I was down there for college from 95-00.

I find it weird how it didn't affect Miami more than it did.  It must have been really small (maybe 5 miles wide?) because Miami is very close to the southern tip of Florida.

Downtown Miami is night and day difference compared to now with the amount of high rises.  Also, the wind radius was so tight on the storm as it came ashore that 10 miles made all the difference between 80 mph winds and those gusting to 200 mph.  Once N of Coral Gables the impacts lessened, while it got worse heading S to Homestead, which looked like a nuke went off.  I know at RSMAS on Virginia Key the storm surge was only 5 feet compared to 17 feet down by Homestead.

It's still booming-my folks are in Naples in the winter and the construction there is crazy

I don't doubt that one bit.  The inflow of new residents is still outpacing those moving out, but some are moving out after having settled in FL for a year or so.

May be a lot of people moving back north from Florida…

They already are, there's been articles in the NYT & WSJ about it.  Many are moving to GA & NC it seems.  Some are moving back to the NYC area as well.

Even with all the clouds and rain so far this month, NYC was still able to go +1.5 for April 1st through 10th. 

It’s those warm overnight lows you’ve posted maps on. Seems to be a common theme. I’m sure we’ll have more record high minimums this summer again too.

64 today, forecast was 58

67 at both my stations, forecast was for 59.  Nice bust!

Yeah, looks like our first possible extended warm up next week as the blocking pattern which began around 3-20 begins to fade. We could see our first 85° readings of the season in the warm spots after the first 80° highs yesterday. 
 

 

Good agreement with GEFS and EPS for that period before ridge goes away after the 20th. Hope the signal stays as we get closer to the period. 

74 in Syosset & 75 in Muttontown for the high.

Went to Albany Sunday and from there planned to go to Plattsburgh. Do to the cloud forecast ended up in Newport Vt. also. The trip from Plattsburgh to Newport was great, little traffic and lots of snow. The eclipse was great, my second total. So worth seeing at least once. The trip back home from Newport was possibly the worse I have ever seen. Vermont cannot handle that volume of traffic. Route 91 leaves few alternative routes and not to many exits. The first 45 miles took 31/2 hours. Got home 13 hours later, close to 5a.m.

Ouch, glad I left Woodstock, VT at 5:30pm to head home after seeing eclipse and getting late lunch.  13 hours is brutal.

71.9 in Syosset & 71.5 in Muttontown currently.

Yes but I miss snow

There was snow on the ground yesterday in VT.  Should have taken a drive up for the eclipse.

I saw posts last night from people still stuck in traffic in Vermont, when I had already gotten back to Long Island hours before, taking the scenic route, stopping multiple places along the way. I encountered zero traffic heading back down. Southbound I-89 in NH was Covid lockdown empty, which when coupled with the growing dimness from the eclipse became kind of eerie.

I know taking I-91 S there was a bad accident S of Brattleboro, but Waze routed us around it, once past that it was smooth sailing until Cross Island Pkwy got knocked down to 1 lane for paving around 10pm.  Should have taken Clearview to LIE instead of listening to Waze at that point but was exhausted from driving up that morning and back that evening/night.

65 already. Beautiful 

I'm 61 in Muttontown and 59 in Syosset currently.  You are off to the races like EWR!

why not Burlington?

My little ones had enough of the car, this is good enough 

Made it to Woodstock VT with the kids. 99% is good enough. Surprised we made it with time to spare. Enjoy the eclipse all.

Brutal opening day for little league. Howling winds and freezing 

It was brutal yesterday evening and this morning for it. My son’s team as least won one game. Tomorrow morning is 3rd game of weekend tournament at 8:45. Going to be another miserable day for baseball.
