Eastern states long overdue for a very hot summer and nobody would be surprised if it came in 2025.

The maps alone would be sketchy at best, but we also have some other clues from obs elsewhere, I would imagine the cold NW flow was good for a few snow showers and then the organized event by Apr 17-18 was likely a cold rain in present NYC metro and wet snow in n NJ and lower elevations se NY.

NOAA now has maps going back to 1836. They are available on the weather forum wetterzentrale.de and here's a link to Apr 16, 1849 at 12z. (click on archives at wetterzentrale's home page). Toronto wx data (starts 1840) indicates very cold air mass, 29/16 and 1.5" snow on Apr 15, 30/20 dry on Apr 16. Caswell in Providence RI recorded 24F as low for Apr 16 and near 37F for a max, no precip noted and says "clothes on line froze in a strong NW wind." Low DonS references gave 1.05" rain there Apr 17-18, 40s F. http://wetterzentrale.de/reanalysis.php?map=2&model=noaa&var=1&jaar=1849&maand=04&dag=16&uur=1200&h=0&tr=360&nmaps=24#mapref

I found a wx map for Apr 16 1849, looks like NYC may have seen some snow or sleet showers in a very cool NW flow, but the s.e. coastal snow was associated with a low off the coast that did not move n.e., it weakened and the cold n.w. flow continued over NYC region for two days. Probably 4/16/1849 was close to 39/29 .05" prec 0.1" snow. NW 20-35.

Winter here (near US-Canada border north of Spokane) was a bit colder than average, near normal snowfall and almost no rain which is usually about 30-40 per cent of total precip at my elevation, so it was a very good ski winter as no slushy intervals and always colder than freezing on slopes. There was no severe cold really, just a steady 2 to 4 below average trend. In central and eastern regions I was expecting perhaps a more active pattern but the storm track, such as it was, set up about where expected. It just didn't perform very often and produced mostly small to medium snowfalls, however southern and eastern Ontario into northern New England did quite well especially in February. We just got back from a trip to the desert southwest region and it was clearly a drier winter in 2024-25 than the previous one, much less display of desert bloom this spring. Bone dry everywhere and I was actually caught up in the circulation of a rapid-onset dust devil (at Chinle AZ) which seemed to have 40-50 mph winds (otherwise the day was just slightly breezy). It was ten meters across and I was just turning right from a parking lot when it popped up out of nowhere. It lasted about a minute and moved around erratically until it dissipated. Weird or what, this is my second core punch of a dust devil, both unplanned, the other one was bigger and caught me from behind in Lakeview, OR on Sept 1, 2016. Estimate that one had 60 mph winds as I almost wiped out. Again, it came out of a clear blue sky and an otherwise pleasant day. Record high temps during our visit to AZ and UT, 84F on Friday 11th in SLC driving home, TV news said it had hit 92F in St George. The previous two days had been in low 80s in high desert locations, normal at time of year is about 60-65.

I give mine an eh?

Just a note to indicate files in this thread are always updated ... after two very mild winters (2022-23, 2023-24) at Toronto and NYC, the past winter was not as extreme although still milder than average. Excel files posted earlier have also been updated; if anyone wants an updated version send me a message.

I would guess min 33 max 43 Tues 8th, and min 29 max 46 on Wed 9th (NYC), 27/39 and 25/43 lower valley and rural NJ with 1-2" snow Tuesday over Catskills and Berkshires, only a few stray flakes in se NY, 0.5" to 1.0" Poconos and a few n NJ higher elevations.

Six recent Marches ranked (2020 to 2025) 8th, t-15th, 19th, t-27th, 7th and t-11th. This consistent series was well ahead of 1985 to 1990 (t-15th, t-22nd, t-20th, t-38th, t-57th, and t-22nd) in second place in ranks exceeded for six years. 1991 at t-27th presents a seven-year interval that 2026 can erase with any finish over t-57th. (2019 was t-68th). 2007 (61st) is coolest of 2006-12 so 2006-11 or 2007-12 rank third for six-year consistency and 2006-12 is second for seven-year. Ranks for 2006-12 are t-44th, 61st, 54th, t-57th, 6th, t-59th, and 2nd. 1945-46 at 1st, 3rd are only consecutive Marches with higher ranks than 2024-25 (7, t11). 2020-21 is third (8, t-15).

Later storms will probably drop 0.40" to 0.70" on average, local 1.0-1.5 possible if two cells pass a location. ... marginal severe wx, gusts to 50-60, small hail. One weak tornado in n/c NJ would not surprise.

A reminder to enter April forecasts in contest ... Don, I wonder if contest consensus is a hidden form of AI? As you know, contest consensus in past years has generally beaten random (30-year avg) by an average of 0.5 to 1.0 F and as long as I have been tracking, also beats persistence (previous month anomaly) by an even larger amount. Not saying we have the 10-15 most skilled forecasters on site in contest, but even those we do have almost all beat normal. Our most skilled long-term (yourself, wxallannj, RodneyS) average 1.0 to 1.5 F errors per month ... less skilled regulars average 1.5 to 2.0. Will AI get even that good?

Looks like an area north and n.w. of BWI to se PA will see storms develop by 6-7 p m.

Backdoor cf ... Looks likely to rebound as wf to e PA-sNJ by 18z, 925 mb front is already there now and cool air intrusion very shallow. -- may see mid 80s again later today and svr wx risk monday.
