Yeah, it was the driest JFM on record for several locations in the West. 
 

 

 

Not to drag it too off topic but the good news somewhat is that the Colorado River source region in CO did well precip-wise which will head downstream towards AZ. Long term though the West is in a world of hurt without major changes. This perma-Nina needs to end. CA did very well in December but it wasn't enough to really dent the drought since it dried right back up in Jan.

Looks like a cooler start to the month with lingering blocking followed by an eventual warm up as the SE Ridge returns.

 

 

 

Hopefully we can get the ridging to the east of us somewhat. That EPS look screams back door fronts when it does get mild.

Big marine layer here. I expect just showers

If there’s a rumble of thunder that makes it east of NYC consider that a big win this time of year.

I’ll take it. Beautiful crisp air. Makes me feel refreshed and awake.  
 

Don’t worry guys, I lose by default. It’ll be hot and humid here before you know it. These types of events are transient and rare for us anymore. 
 

What does seem to be increasing is our prevalence for tornadoes; how about that Mullica Hills EF3 last September? Never thought I’d see what appeared to be a Deep South multivortex dirty wedge in NJ 

What’s probably helping are the increasing water temps up here in the summer that are slow to cool down. We also had the tornado outbreak in the fall across Long Island. Warmer waters equal more instability.

Can’t get any worse then this morning. Dead flowers everywhere. And not even a dusting.

I did notice driving in this morning that the cross island was buried in salt just north of the lie. I’m talking insane amounts of salt. That’s great for the environment…..

Not sure what the reason is for the constant blocking patterns late in March and into spring the last several seasons but hopefully we can get it to end and have the blocking a month earlier when it can be useful for snow. Amazing how constant these patterns are every year along with the seeming perma-Nina.

sun angle season

 

Hysterical. I know exactly where that is too on campus, went to school there 2005-09. It’s downright nasty there this afternoon with the snow squalls, 30mph gusts and temps not budging out of the low 20s. 

High of 32 here so far, looks like that’ll be it since we’re decreasing again. Hopefully some squalls today. 

Got down to 22 this morning.

I've been in the Walmart that was shown on the news many times.  I used to work right next to there (remote, but I traveled to RR). 

Round Rock tornado was EF2, 135mph top winds so borderline EF3. That was the one on national news that flipped the truck over. Looks like in total there was 1 EF1 (in Jarrell) and 3 EF2s. Impressive for that area. Incredibly no one was killed, miraculous really knowing how densely populated Round Rock is just north of Austin and that it was near rush hour.

I'm jealous of the lake region

More snow for them on the way 

They've mostly had a lousy to awful snow season. Syracuse has about half its yearly average. Buffalo is about average, Rochester is below average. Not that unusual for them to still be getting snow in late March.

Flash of lightning and rumble of thunder. Heavy rain currently.

Looks like we'll be stuck in a disgusting pattern for several weeks.  

It’s like clockwork the last few springs.

Next week looks like our next big temperature swing. Brief Arctic shot from the 27th to the 29th with lows in the 20s. Then the month ends warm in the 70s. 
 

 

Lots of plants/flowers blooming from the early warmth, may be in trouble.

Insane Antarctic warmth and nobody will notice because 0-10F is still perceived to be cold. 

Only when we get ridiculous heat in the states does anyone care. And for people to really notice we'd need a Pac NW style heat dome over the northeast.

We seem to be entering a long term summer trend here in the Northeast that favors higher humidity over higher heat, at least extreme heat. The ridge over the summer is becoming steeper and centered further north over the last few summers, which results in the strongest heat overshooting this area to hit southern Canada and Maine. We have more of a southerly onshore flow that brings humidity in, not the westerly flow that drives temps up. Bluewave will have better stats but there has been a marked increase in 75 or higher dewpoint days over the last 5 summers or so. We’re becoming much more Florida like here. The downside to that has been the warming oceans that make us more susceptible to tropical systems and the tendency to have them steered toward us on the southerly flow rather than out to sea like usual.

The polar vortex crossing the area from Sunday into Monday may be our best shot at some snow squalls. 
 

 

 

Wow, that's gonna be a kick in the teeth regardless of any snow.

March 21-22 2018 the city got 8-12” and April 2018 the city got about 6”

Long Beach again immediately on the shore got almost a foot of cement from that. Where I live now (granted a good bit more favored for late season snow) had 18".

Again……NYC proper, AFTER the EQUINOX (3/20), in the 22 years since 2000, go back and look for yourself

Can’t speak to Central Park but in April 2003 and April 2018 right on the south shore where I lived at the time there was 6” each. It’s rare but doable. 

Pretty intense tornado outbreak yesterday in the Austin TX area. Not quite around where I used to live on the SW side of town, but some heavily populated areas north of town (Round Rock which wasn’t tornado warned apparently as it went across I-35) and east (Elgin). Downtown dodged a bullet thankfully, it looked hairy for a while. The Jarrell 1997 outbreak was the last really destructive one around Austin. Several other intense tornadoes hit the area besides the huge Jarrell one, which would’ve been catastrophic had it hit 30 miles south of Jarrell. That’s the first outlying town in the northern suburban Austin county (Williamson County). 

Seems to be like clockwork that we have this garbage big -NAO in late March now that’s only good for locking in raw easterly winds or useless cold. 

70 here. Long Beach 52, Captree 48.  
 

Today’s definitely a reason I moved here from the south shore.

Thankfully I sit on LI’s equator. Temp up to 60 here now. I hope that mess stays relegated to the immediate south shore.

Gorgeous up here today, temp 64. Yep, glad I’m not on the south shore. Many more days like that to come unfortunately as the water temps creep back up. 

67 degrees. Can definitely get used to this. 45 though at Captree

Nice cold shot

At this point I don't want it. Bring on the torch.
