SACRUS

28 / 23 off a low of 24 and a dusting of snow as the southern storm that coulda been slides east. Stuck in the mid 30s today before a warmer Sun - Tue (above normal). Much colder Wed - Fri before colder than normal by the 19th. Dry week ahead before a more active period by the 19th.

Below normal streak has ended EWR: 41 New Brnswck 40

Some are doing this now in the 6AM to 730 timeframe, mainly for highschool and JH as well as more northern areas ME and WA, Lakes areas with even later sun rises.

38 - warmest here in 8 days.

Agree i was just outlining the change and not pro or con the change. Id leave it the way it is which is the most likely path.

Yes remember well. Perhaps just keep it the way it is. Its dark for the early highschool busses already from 545 - 720. Its the younger grades that are impacted between 730 and 8 if remaining on DST.

In NYC the latest sunrise of 7:20AM would be 8:20 and the earliest sunset of 4:28 would be 5:28 and 6PM sunsets would start in mid January under perm DST,

Id wager it doesnt't pass its been on and off again. I believe DST was tried 1973 year round and quickly reverted back. Late morning or later sunsets - how much energy is truly saved.

The Sunshine Bill has been reintroduced. This bill would allow states (like AZ) to decide to participate in DST and others to remain on DST. https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2025/1/sen-rick-scott-leads-bipartisan-bill-to-lock-the-clock I had thought that there was movement to end DST but havet seen any counter bills only this D.ST permanent bill. States like NY and NJ would likely follow the federal guidance and change clocks ahead and then stay on DS

24 / 6 off a low of 18 here. Winds whipping. Sat miss opens way to a mainly dry and overall colder next 7 days. Beyond there the next system to watch in the 19 - 21 period could yield the proverbial kick in the gut, with rain - wait out there to tell. Overnight data was a bit less intense with the cold in the post Jan 21 period, cold with the strongest north and west.

SW vis loop - fires evident in and near LA https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=psw&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12&dim=1

Peak gusts so far (today) / looks a bit stronger Thursday LGA: 46 MPH EWR: 41 MPH JFK: 39 MPH

Gusts again near or above 40 MPG at the major airports

Once past Saturday, aside from possible light snow showers or flurries, the next system to watch is Jan 19 / 21 period. Untill then the 7 day precip forecast is dry north of VA. Can see what could be (have been) the storm offshore.

No warmup, let alone any sustained warmup on the horizon. These types of cold patterns seem to lock in or settle in (overall) for 45 - 60 days (overall) So with that guess if you count early Jan as the staring point, it would be later in towards mid/late Feb. Time will tell. Chilly into the deep south and Gulf states

Ill have to ding into these events (believe it was multiple event/day). More focussed in N-NJ and S-NE

the 22/23 - 30th are looking very cold on the latest guidance to add to those colder dept's.
