Impressive record to our south.

Could be the highest PWAT so late in the year for OKX with the heavy rains around the 0z sounding. Precipitable water: 1.93 inches

On track for a record 7 consecutive days reaching 70° at Newark. The previous record for November was 4 days. It looks like we are shifting to more of a less warm is the new cool mode. Still above average, but no 70s showing up after today for the near future. Maybe some cooler weather in about a week. 2020-11-05 70 2020-11-06 73 2020-11-07 77 2020-11-08 77 2020-11-09 77 2020-11-10 76 KEWR GFSX MOS GUIDANCE 11/11/2020 0000 UTC FHR 24| 36 48| 60 72| 84 96|108 120|132 144|156 168|180 192 WED 11| THU 12| FRI 13| SAT 14| SUN 15| MON 16| TUE 17| WED 18 CLIMO X/N 75| 57 61| 49 58| 41 56| 40 57| 46 61| 37 50| 34 46 38 53

A November beach day in the Canadian Maritimes with the all-time warmth.

A more extreme November monthly maximum temperature on the latest update. So far the record high of 75° is 7 degrees warmer than the record set just last year.

This is the first time that I can remember so many daily record highs with strong radiational cooling at night. It resulted in the departures being driven by the high temperatures by an unusually wide margin. So the average departures this month are lower than you would expect with so many record high temperatures.

3 record highs in a row for JFK.

Pretty impressive to go 4 consecutive days with average wind speeds of 5 mph or lower. Be interesting to see if the fog that @forkyforkmentioned on the NAM verifies. Could be quite dense if the winds remain calm under the inversion. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?_wait=no&q=71&network=NY_ASOS&zstation=ISP&year=2020&month=11&units=MPH&dpi=100&_fmt=png

Yeah, pretty impressive PAC Jet extension should maintain this -PNA SE Ridge pattern until further notice.

This is our first 591 dm ridge during the month of November.

This record ridge with lower dew points and light winds is setting up an unusual temperature pattern for us. We get record highs during the day and strong radiational cooling at night. Quite a departure from our typical record warm minimums.

Those were the old days when we would get a cold October before a cold winter.

2 record highs in a row for JFK.

Pretty impressive for ISP to beat their daily record high set in 2011 by 6 degrees.

November 1993 was a much cooler month. Only 1 day of real warmth around the 15th with NYC reaching 80° and JFK 77°. NYC finished +1.1 and JFK -0.7.

Our latest 590 dm ridge of the year. 21 500 5900

Long Island is the warm spot around the area at 10 am. MacArthur/ISP MOSUNNY 70 48 45 N5 30.37S Shirley SUNNY 71 47 42 N7 30.38R

This is one of those rare times that LGA dropped 2° cooler than NYC with calm winds.

We are breaking warm records recently set in 2015.

Record high of 73° at JFK. This beats the previous record of 70°set back in 2015.

Record high of 75° at POU.

Looks like a new record high for JFK. The most recent record high was set back in 2015. Kennedy Intl MOSUNNY 72 47 40 SW9 11/7 70 in 2015 66 in 2001 66 in 1975

Walt, great thread. The 2” PWATS you mention would be a new record for November. So there is the potential for heavy rains if the tropical moisture plume gets close enough.
