I also wonder about that as the highest mountain on Jamaica is over 7,000 feet up! So, hopefully it won’t although it is likely that the enormous rainfall potential is the biggest threat, regardless.

12Z Icon: weaker with strongest being 992 mb near Haiti per WxBell.

1988 hurricane gilbert center went right down the middle of jamaica from the east all the way to the west and did not lose any strength..

Why do we have Daylight Savings Time all the way into early November? It makes zero sense right now, the sun rises well after 7 am and it's still dark here at 7:30.

 

DST year round doesn't make as much sense as Standard Time year round does.  The sun rising at 4 am in the summer is just fine, that's actually the best time to wake up in the summer.  Either that or leave your blinds/curtains down.

 

i prefer they change the clocks back to before during the george w bush days back then dst ended before halloween and the clocks changed to standard time around easter they  changed it because some convoluted reason because at that time oil prices were like extremely high 120 dollars a barrel so more daylight meant less energy  again who wants there kids to go out in december when it is pitch dark outside.. for safety reason..

very warm i even saw a few people wearing t-shirts..

it is a safety issue for some. especially for kids ..going out in the dark  many by themselves...

i rather they go back to what it was when george w was president when the clocks fell back changed before halloween so it would be dark out..i do not want dst to be permanent imagine in december when the sun would rise at 8:00 am...

rain was on target but the storm wind damage under performed i seen more power outages in thunderstorms then in this storm..

last 2 nights did not get as cold in the city as was predicted..

beautiful almost late october day in the city refreshing..

hopefully we are done with 80 degree temps until next spring..

This would have been a sick snowstorm. 

The low eventually comes over us but only when it's already rotting and during most of the precip duration it's showing strong northerly to NE winds. 

20 years ago it would have been a snowstorm but not in 2025..

for those complaining about lack of cold in the nyc move up north..

I usually support the idea of warmth overperforming but eps has been terrible at seeing cooldowns the last few months. I seriously doubt the midwest stays that warm for so long.

warmth is relative to normal  those mid october temps in midwest are 70's for highs..

Tons of Siberian snowcover early this season. Hopefully it continues through October when it matters more. 

I'll take any help I can get to bring us a more snowy winter. 

there is always tons of siberian snow cover in october has not helped nyc winters in a long time..

day is perfect when you can wear your hoodie and not even break a sweat..

Yea I dont get wearing hoodies when the sun is still this strong and the daytime temps are in the 70s. Hoodies are a mid to late october thing

was in the 50's in nyc this morning where 90% of the people i saw was wearing one or a hooded sweatshirt..and tomorrow morning will be exactly the same..
