PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY 646 AM EDT SUN OCT 31 2021 ...CENTRAL PARK NEW YORK WEATHER OBSERVING STATION EARNS INTERNATIONAL HONOR FOR CENTURY OF WEATHER OBSERVATIONS... IN RECOGNITION OF ITS LONG TERM AND QUALITY CONTROLLED METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OBSERVING STATION LOCATED IN CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY, HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A CENTENNIAL OBSERVING STATION BY THE WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION (WMO). OBSERVATIONS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED AT THIS LOCATION SINCE 1868, OVER 150 YEARS. THE MORE THAN A CENTURY-LONG ACCUMULATION OF DAILY WEATHER OBSERVATIONS TAKEN AT THE CENTRAL PARK SITE IS THE CLIMATE RECORD STANDARD FOR THE CITY. FROM THE BLIZZARD OF 1888 TO THE REMNANTS OF IDA, THE STATION HAS MEASURED THE METEOROLOGICAL EXTREMES OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS OF WEATHER EVENTS IN NEW YORK CITY HISTORY. THE WEATHER MEASUREMENTS COLLECTED AT THE CENTRAL PARK STATION INCLUDE, TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, HUMIDITY, WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION, VISIBILITY AND CEILING HEIGHT. "THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RELIES ON THE WEATHER STATION IN CENTRAL PARK, NY FOR CURRENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS NEEDED FOR WEATHER FORECASTING, AND ITS LONG PERIOD OF RECORD IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR MEASURING CLIMATE VARIABILITY," SAID LOUIS W. UCCELLINI, PH.D, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND THE UNITED STATES PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE FOR WMO. IT IS RARE TO HAVE A WEATHER OBSERVATION SITE REMAIN ON THE SAME LAND FOR OVER 100 YEARS, ESPECIALLY IN A MAJOR CITY. CENTRAL PARK IS ONE OF ONLY EIGHT STATIONS IN THE COUNTRY, 234 IN THE WORLD, TO BE NAMED A CENTENNIAL OBSERVING STATION. OFFICIAL WEATHER OBSERVATIONS BEGAN IN NEW YORK CITY IN 1868, WHEN AN AGREEMENT WAS MADE BETWEEN THE CENTRAL PARK BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND NEW YORK STATE TO TAKE AND RECORD METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. A FEW YEARS LATER, ADDITIONAL WEATHER OBSERVATIONS BEGAN IN THE LOWER PARTS OF MANHATTAN BY A FLEDGLING NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, ORIGINALLY THE US SIGNAL SERVICE. ON JANUARY 1, 1920, THE NATIONAL WEATHER BUREAU TOOK OVER THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS IN CENTRAL PARK, OFFICIALLY AT THE BELVEDERE CASTLE. ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER INSTRUMENTATION HAS CHANGED A BIT OVER THE YEARS, THE LOCATION IS PRECISELY THE SAME. "THESE ARE THE TYPES OF STATIONS, THE RELATIVE FEW, THAT GARNER THE MOST INTEREST AND RIGHTFULLY CLAIM THE HIGHEST VALUE," SAID TIM MORRIN, OBSERVATION PROGRAM LEADER, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE. "IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO FULFILL THE MISSION OF SAVING LIVES AND PROPERTY WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS COLLECTING AND ARCHIVING THESE IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS FOR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE." A VIRTUAL AWARD CEREMONY TO HONOR CENTRAL PARK AS A CENTENNIAL STATION WILL BE HELD AT 11 A.M. ON NOVEMBER 3RD. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT...TIM MORRIN, [email protected] THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK FORECAST OFFICE, LOCATED IN UPTON N.Y., IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF WEATHER DATA, FORECASTS AND WARNINGS FOR ABOUT 19 MILLION PEOPLE IN NORTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY (5 COUNTIES), SOUTHEASTERN NEW YORK (11 COUNTIES), AND SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT (4 COUNTIES).

3.82 at my station here in Sheepshead Bay.

Up to 3.06 inches at my station so far. Still not much wind to speak of.

Barometer down to 991 at my station with a total of 2.73 inches of rain so far. Winds light with a W-SW component.

Just had one over me here in southern Brooklyn. Don't recall seeing any mention of rain in the forecast for today. Look like lake effect or at least lake enhanced from the radar view. Edit: NWS OKX did mention it in their AFD: In addition, cyclonic to neutral flow coupled with steep low- level lapse rates and the upper trough overhead, may trigger a few showers and/or sprinkles this afternoon.

Made it down to 56 at my station.

From NWS NYC Twitter: A cluster of showers and thunderstorms near Lake Erie may reach the area tonight. If the current track and timing holds, it would be after 2Z — which is 10 PM EDT

Let's not forget the masterminds behind deciding to keep the U.S. Open from canceling the evening covered stadium sessions. After which, people had to walk through 1-2 feet of water to get to their cars in the parking lots to go nowhere because the Grand Central Parkway, Van Wyck Expy and Whitestone Expy were all flooded.

Finished with 4.56 inches total at my station.

4.17 inches at my station so far. Very light rain at the moment.

Up to 3.85 inches now at my station.
