83, low dew, wish this was yesterdays weather instead of mostly clouds.

Similar here, 81 with a dew of 57

84 here today, lots of clouds

Plenty of articles about that. But, maybe it is just a holding pattern for now, and then there will be another dip lower (or higher haha).

I'm just reading the chart here from what Bluewave posted in the seas ice thread. I'm not sure it matters much in terms of enso compared to the past 15 years especially.

Extent looks a little different, pretty much running the 2010s and 2020s average.

49.8 is 40s to me. 99.8 is not 100. 51 here.

Sorry, that was last year. Have to wait 2 months for that

Yeah. I wish 287 had a scenic overlook to actually park my car and take a few pics. I guess in two months I'll see how this year compares to last.

Skies getting brighter here and up to 72.

It was actually good here, but driving north up 287 for work into NY, the color north of route 80 was amazing. I tried to take pics while driving, this was the best I could get. Going 80 and taking pics not recommended, but lots of yellow, orange and red.

67 here. Making beef jerky on the smoker. Picked a good day for it.

With this rain I'm at 1.13" of rain for the month, so the area can use it. I have an irrigation system, so I'm good, but many neighbors lawns and flowers are looking quite thirsty. Seems like from Walt's map above, a decent amount of NJ South of 78 and away from the coast were in the shaft zone. My black walnut tree seems to be dropping leaves already. It is usually the last to leaf out and the first to drop leaves, but this is early.

Same here, .23"

In some places, just .19 here

59 this morning, 68 for the high. 0.11" of all day mist.

Thank you for this well thought out response. Makes sense to me. Appreciate it. Micro-meteorological is a good term for a city landscape.

.04" with mist.

That shows near surface too (the top temperature on it) and there are a million examples online from sites you probably whack to. I will wait for Tips answer since he is actually smart and has the credentials and you really didn't answer anything at all.

Thanks, I figured it was something like that. It is pretty amazing how that happens that it can even out for the high temps. Something like this I picture see posted often in numerous ways showing the difference, in a city setting, how having trees lowers temps everywhere from the air to the ground we walk on (and has been done around the world proving it works). Wouldn't this be an example of UHI during the day? Or, would we say the temps on the lower picture are not accurate for the air since it is under a canopy of trees? So the lower picture is like Central Park temps which people in my forum argue about every day of the week and the top picture is actually the accurate one for temps? Here is where this pic was from https://symsoil.medium.com/trees-climate-change-and-community-878280498546 I see this movement talked about often though for cities and it would be nice if adopted by many more.

How come if lows are higher, that doesn't make highs also higher since the starting point for the day is already a higher temp? When I see reports of some cities around the world planting more trees in cities and then saying high temps went down by 5 degrees during the day for example, is that not showing that UHI also effects the high temps? Not denying anything, but just wondering. Especially about the 2nd question because I see that talked about on many "green" type forums and how many cities should adopt that to lower daytime temps (obviously because of more shade).

18z NAM fairly dry, though 3k NAM pretty wet.

76 here, beautiful day.

It is always hard with snow, but your post still is accurate. 16-17 I had 28", so like 2" below average, and I'm 42 miles SW as the crow flies to NYC, but 44 miles NE of Philly, so almost right in the middle of both cities. There was sharp cutoff that season, but that is the nature of total snow many years.

Most models don't have very much for most of the area
