June 4, 2023.

Inside the City, it’s uncommon. The last time it happened was in 2023. Before that, it was 2000.

Cooler than normal temperatures will prevail from tomorrow through early next week. Tomorrow morning will be particularly cool with readings falling into the 40s outside of New York City and lower 50s in New York City. Above normal temperatures will likely develop near the middle of next week. The temperature could reach the hottest levels so far this year on Thursday. June looks to be warmer than normal on the CFSv2. However, just as had been the case for May, the AI guidance is notably cooler than the conventional models. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.2°C for the week centered around May 21. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.08°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.08°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue through at least mid summer. The SOI was +0.94 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.381 today.

Probably not. However, I suspect that those June numbers are too low given the guidance. However, that’s the way things stood at the end of April. The AI idea schooled the EPS. If the AI idea again proves much better than the guidance, that might offer a hint of skill. I would still like to see a lot more data before reaching firm conclusions.

AI numbers for June. These numbers will again be verified at the end of the month. They appear to be noticeably cooler than the guidance in New York City and Boston. That was the case in May, and May will be cooler than the guidance. It's too soon to speculate about skill or lack of skill.

Showers and thunderstorms are likely tonight and tomorrow. A general 0.50"-1.50" storm total rainfall is likely. Some areas could see locally higher amounts where some flooding is possible.

Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue through at least mid summer. Early indications are that summer 2025 will be warmer than normal in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The potential exists for a much warmer than normal summer (more than 1° above normal). The SOI was +5.46 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.688 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 62.5° (0.7° below normal).

Tomorrow will be variably cloudy and warmer. Readings will likely top out in the middle 70s in the New York City area. Additional showers and thundershowers are likely tomorrow night and Saturday.

Showers will continue into tomorrow. An additional round of showers and thundershowers is possible Friday night and Saturday.

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change

Right now, it’s not viable for addressing the issue on earth. https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/faq/can-new-nasa-carbon-to-oxygen-conversion-technology-like-moxie-be-used-to-address-climate-change/ -

It runs through October 26th.

The temperature rose into the lower and middle 60s this afternoon making for a great start to the New York Botanical Garden's "Van Gogh's Flowers" show.

It will be partly sunny and even milder tomorrow. Temperatures will top out in the upper 60s. Readings will warm further into the lower 70s on Memorial Day. Nevertheless, temperatures will remain somewhat cooler than normal. The below normal temperatures will likely persist into the middle of next week.

Something to ponder after a third consecutive winter with dismally low snowfall in New York City: Long after winters fade into dreary rain and the wettest of snow that melts on contact with the ground, a daguerreotype might offer the strongest symbol of winters past. Tarnished at the edges, but intact, it will provide a more powerful and permanent testament to the last great snowfall than any faded photo or digital image. Winter's final cold and snowy breath will be preserved for the duration of humanity's existence. In that single image, the passage of time will offer a timeless memory of what winters once were. Daguerreotype-style image recreated from a photo taken at Patchogue, NY during a blizzard on January 29, 2022. Fortunately, for the foreseeable future, such a nightmare does not appear likely in the New York City area and its surrounding suburbs. Even as average seasonal snowfall totals will likely decline as winters warm, there will continue to be occasionally snowy winters and periodic big snowstorms.

New York City has had five consecutive days with lows of 49° or below after May 20th for the first time since 1992. The last time New York City had five consecutive such days was May 24-28, 1992.

Through 5 pm, Bridgeport, Islip, New York City-Central Park, New York City-LaGuardia Airport, and Newark are in line to set new record low maximum temperatures for May 22. JFK Airport is in line to tie its record. After an unseasonably cool start, temperatures will top out in upper 50s and lower 60s tomorrow in the New York City area. There could also be some scattered showers. A partly to mostly sunny Memorial Day weekend will then follow. The below normal temperatures could persist into early next week. However,it could turn noticeably warmer during the closing days of the month or opening of June.

Tonight and tomorrow will be rainy and exceptionally cool for this time of year. A storm total 0.50"-1.50" rainfall is likely into Friday morning. Temperatures will top out in the lower to middle 50s in New York City tomorrow. Tomorrow's record low maximum temperature is 54° from 1894. That mark could be challenged. The below normal temperatures could persist into early next week. However,it could turn noticeably warmer during the closing days of the month or opening of June. Showers could persist into Friday. It is likely that New York City will see the mercury dip below 50° on Thursday night and Friday morning. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.1°C for the week centered around May 7. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.55°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.07°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue through at least mid summer. Early indications are that summer 2025 will be warmer than normal in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The potential exists for a much warmer than normal summer (more than 1° above normal). The SOI was -3.58 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.328 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 50% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.2° (normal).

70s and possibly 80s look realistic. Earlier runs with low and mid-90s on the GFS are likely overdone.
-
It was. The dramatic shift reveals the limits of the guidance beyond 10-14 days. Dramatic changes can and do occur. This time around, at least for the NYC area, the AI estimate will blow the modeling out of the water.
-
I think there’s pretty good agreement about upper 70s/low 80s to end May or start June. The GFS appears to be greatly overdone with the heat.
-
Thanks to its warm start, May will wind up near normal to perhaps slightly below normal.

An extended period of cool weather is now underway. This morning, the temperature slipped to 49° in Central Park. That was New York City's coolest temperature this month. The below normal temperatures could persist into early next week. A general 0.50"-1.50" rainfall is likely tomorrow into Thursday. A gusty wind will likely accompany the rainfall. Showers could persist into Friday. There is a chance that New York City could see the mercury dip below 50° Thursday or Friday. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.1°C for the week centered around May 7. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.55°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.07°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue through at least mid summer. Early indications are that summer 2025 will be warmer than normal in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The potential exists for a much warmer than normal summer (more than 1° above normal). The SOI was +0.09 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.511 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 53% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal May (1991-2020 normal). May will likely finish with a mean temperature near 63.1° (0.1° below normal).
