  1. That cell in the pre Doppler days may have had a tornado warning issued on it purely on overall pattern recognition of placement at the SW end of a line and the brief hook appearance...overall the winds from the surface to 500 though would not really support it
  2. I am not sure there is much of a realistic chance this misses the US without going into the Yucatan or C America...if this manages to avoid those 2 there would need to be some serious changes to get this to totally miss FL or the Gulf
  3. Once again we will have a storm where everyone will butcher the name pronunciation, that much we know
  4. Yeah there doesn’t seem to be a huge correlation. 88 95 99 were all dry and those winters were snowless, very snowy, snowless respectively and all La Niñas
  5. Some showers developing over NE NJ now headed towards NYC/Queens...its possible we could see a couple of them become a TSTM
  6. TSTM W of JFK now but its already kicking out outflow so there may be weakening or developmental changes in the short term with it.
  7. About a Schenectady to just E of BGM to just NW of Williamsport line
  8. This could be the only TSTM of the day if you believe the HRRR...at least for the immediate NYC area but perhaps this tells us there is enough instability and juice that additional activity will occur on the front...this cell is fast enough and small enough in area it should not kill the instability in the area
  9. Yeah too much junk on the PFT if you ask me. Last few HRRR runs try to pop stuff 21-23z with the actual front but not much. I almost think the PFT may be the best shot now...even with the clouds in place it gets here late enough there may be enough heating for it to become more convective
  10. Steering flow is 250-260 so unlikely...places like Orange Co NY and maybe the NJ border up in that area could late this evng
  11. Yeah I have my doubts the sea breeze ever makes it to LGA today
  12. You only get about 6-7 degrees relief typically. You'll see on a hot day if LGA is 96 JFK is usually 89-90 even with a S flow
  13. Yeah it'll tend to move in over Suffolk faster on days such as this...standard NW flow days it will often enter first near JFK but W-SW sometimes it'll work in a bit slower than expected in Queens and W Nassau but it still eventually gets in
  14. There is not much W flow in the bottom 2000ft today, even above the surface. The Sea breeze should move fast today. Might even make it to LGA by 18-19z
  15. NYC actually did not hit 90 til about 455pm
  16. It probably did given it was 89 on 2 separate hours
  17. FRG/JFK warmer than LGA/NYC at 17z
  18. Not so much due to instability issues as it is the front sort of washes/slows/semi stalls as the surface low outruns it over NRN New England so even Queens/W Nassau may not see much...might see a nasty looking line in NJ and it just will crap out as it goes east.
  19. This has to be the worst NYC disparity I ever saw...you'd think alone the SW flow would just advect enough for them to go to 92 or so
  20. May get another 90 at NYC today, at least officially
  21. It'll probably basically fall off to nothing though by January which will make the winter forecast virtually impossible this year.
  22. Seems most models now agreeing enough morning junk around that we may not see much later on...if we do could be 00-02z or so..the idea of a squall line 21-23z or so is losing ground on most guidance
  23. Yeah there was basically sleet/freezing rain from late evening on the 8th into very early AM on the 9th then it was sunny that day and the 10th. I believe EWR never flipped to sleet on the 11th while most of the south shore of Queens/Bklyn/LI did by 12-1pm that day...even so LGA and NYC I think only recorded like 10-12 inches and there was no notable banding with that storm so EWR seeing that much more is certainly a mistake of some kind
  24. Yeah that total always baffled me. I have no idea how they managed to come up with that one
  25. Yeah I forget when they moved it. My guess is probably 1996. I was also told once snow measurements prior to the 93-94 winter are questionable (yeah we know they are questionable after too lol) but the reason told to me was they used to measure somewhere downstairs from the NWS office up til 92-93 and the measurements were likely too low most times
