Looks like temperatures could be like that in the entire area on Saturday.

Cool late April day with my high only 56. Didn't really respond much to the sun coming out.

39 was my low this morning and it looked like some of the rooftops may have had a little frost. Nothing but dew otherwise. Would not be surprised if there was frost in some of the rural inland areas of both Nassau and Suffolk. I see mid 30s in the Muttontown area of northern Nassau.

Yes I really brought it up to show how radiational cooling can really make a big difference at times, the difference between more urban and more rural locations. There is no doubt that all areas have been getting milder and wetter in our location.

Brookhaven National Labs (on Long Island) still has an average January temperature below 30 degrees. I think one reason why is the recording station is not at an airport or urban area but rather in the middle of a large open field. I am sure they get very good radiational cooling. January 22, 1961 Brookhaven hit a record low of -23 degrees. The same night Newark hit 5 above, Laguardia 9 above and Kennedy 13 above. Now that is some difference. Here is their website for anyone interested. https://www.bnl.gov/weather/

Had another light shower pass thru a little while ago, now it looks like some pretty good showers around Port Jefferson over the sound toward Ct.

Sun breaking thru the clouds, 2.12 inches of rain.

Stilll raining here, 1.70 inches so far.

Still waiting for the rain here.

58 the high here, a rare cooler than normal day.

70 the high here today. Now down to 57.

I would not be surprised if record high minimums become more numerous in Central Park, especially in the warmer months, as the UHI affect increases.

86 my high today, now 71.

Hit 86 here, now 84.

Yea that would be welcome

Nice summer like day, 83-63

31 here this morning, now up to 59

31 degrees here with a little frost

Chilly day today with a high here of 52, now down to 45.

upper 20s here this morning.

20s here last night

The average at my house, certainly not anything official, was 38.83. My closest airport is Farmingdale, which was some 1 degree warmer. I think my night time temps were generally colder.

Yes I have been by the airport numerous times, it is away from center city Philly. There is no place in the U.S. that has so much concrete and urbanization as NYC, even our local airports like LaGuardia and Newark are in heavily urbanized areas. Only Kennedy is the exception of those three.

Atlantic City (.1 warmer than Central Park), Wilmington Delaware and Philly now have average winter temperatures colder than Central Park and LaGuardia. UHI

OK, only makes sense. This past storm was one of the best examples how elevation can make all the difference.
