Not really, though there may be a slight tendency to favor more snowfall (30" or more). The two warmest August cases followed by an El Niño winter (1950-2017) were winters 2002-03 (49.3") and 2015-16 (32.8"). Here are the statistics for New York City: August (1950-2017): August mean temperature: 75.6° Mean seasonal snowfall: 26.6” Median seasonal snowfall: 23.8” % cases < 10” seasonal snowfall: 7.4% % cases < 20” seasonal snowfall: 42.6% % cases 30” or more seasonal snowfall: 32.4% % cases 40” or more seasonal snowfall: 23.5% % cases 50” or more seasonal snowfall: 13.2% Cases: 68 30 Warmest August Cases (1950-2017): Mean seasonal snowfall: 29.1” Median seasonal snowfall: 25.5” % cases < 10” seasonal snowfall: 6.7% % cases < 20” seasonal snowfall: 33.3% % cases 30” or more seasonal snowfall: 40.0% % cases 40” or more seasonal snowfall: 23.3% % cases 50” or more seasonal snowfall: 13.3% Cases: 30 August with Mean Temperature 1.5° or more above the 1950-2017 average: Mean seasonal snowfall: 30.2” Median seasonal snowfall: 32.3” % cases < 10” seasonal snowfall: 2.9% % cases < 20” seasonal snowfall: 7.4% % cases 30” or more seasonal snowfall: 52.9% % cases 40” or more seasonal snowfall: 29.4% % cases 50” or more seasonal snowfall: 17.6% Cases: 17 (could be skewed by the sample size)

This morning saw additional record high minimum temperatures approached, tied, and broken across the New York City and surrounding region. Preliminary Record High Minimum Temperatures for September 4: Atlantic City: 75° (old record: 74°, 1953 and 1970) Bridgeport: 73° (tied record set in 1973 and tied in 2011) Islip: 74° (old record: 72°, 1970) New Haven: 72° (tied record set in 2011) New York City-JFK: 77° (old record: 73°, 1959 and 1985) New York City-LGA: 80° (old record: 77°, 1953) **would be the latest 80° minimum temperature for any NYC area station should it hold** Newark: 78° (old record: 75°, 1953 and 1973) Richmond: 75° (tied record set in 2012) Washington, DC: 79° (old record: 76°, 1953 and 2012) White Plains: 72° (tied record set in 1953 and tied in 1985) Boston had a low temperature of 80°. Were that reading to hold, Boston would further extend its record of the latest 80° minimum temperature on record, which was established on August 29. However, the guidance forecasts that the temperature in Boston will very likely fall into the 70s late this evening. Through September 4, New York City has had no sub-60° minimum temperatures. Since 1869, only 17 prior years reached this point without having had at least one low temperature in the 50s during the period beginning on July 1. 9 of those cases occurred 1990 and afterward, including 5 from 2010 and afterward.

Sunrise and 78°.

Through today (July 1-September 3), New York City (NYC) has had no minimum temperatures below 60°. Only 18 prior years during the 1869-2017 period had no such readings through September 3. Even though New York City has had a mature urban footprint since the 1950s, 9 of those cases occurred 1990 or later, 6 from 2000 or later, and 5 from 2010 or later. In contrast, 1888 and 1940 had 16 days through September 3 with minimum temperatures below 60°. Finally, La Guardia Airport is poised to tie today's daily record high minimum temperature of 77°. That temperature was last reached on September 3 in 2010.

IMO, the potential Florence threat bears watching. There's a possibility that ridging could develop to its north, which could lead to its tracking toward or to the U.S. East Coast. Of course, much can change over the course of the next 9-10 days.

It’s raining lightly in southern Westchester County.

Thanks Forky.

Five photos from the New York Botanical Garden. The recent heat has taken a toll on the flowers.

Sunrise: 80°

Thanks for this information.

There is a possibility that the trees need to be trimmed around the Central Park station.
