Cfa Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 This fascination with high heat and/or humidity I will never understand. I guess if you go from AC to AC and have a pool in the backyard it's easy. Either that or people really like to stay indoors when we have the most available daylight of the year. I'll never understand the fascination with cold, extreme cold, and having to be bundled up, it's terrible to me but some enjoy it (with or without snow). I happen to find the heat comfortable, I can be outside in it all day. At night it's a little different, but I'd still take a low in the 80's over a low in the 20's. That's just me though.

Being outside in the heat is terrible. Yeah they can have the heat. Today was perfect 60's and 70's are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermedic Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Is the warm front expected to pass through NYC/LI early tomorrow morning? Isn't that usually one of the ingredients for us to get tornadoes around here? (early morning warm frontal passage) Any models hinting at anything remotely severe?

Weathergun Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The 12z NAM MOS has a high of 95 for TEB on Thursday. The NAM has a light W flow and a well mixed-layer around 800mb. Which could support temps that high, in NE NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find 80's and 90's comfortable as long as I'm not sweating which I normally don't. Locals in my area tell you 75,80 degrees is hot, I just look at them in awe, that's not hot, that's perfect. Though I would take a low of 20 degrees compared to 80, just so I can sleep at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Moderate rain here at 58.3F, but made it to a high of 69.8F before the heavens opened. Low was a chilly 49.6F, giving us four nights in a row down in the 40s during late May, which is pretty unusual for Westchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Not usually tornadoes but we can get some potent AM thunderstorms, usually with flooding and alot of T&L There is some connection between morning warm frontal convection and increased chance of tornados in this region. I don't recall the specific conditions, but Bill Goodman posted about it a few years ago (either here or on Eastern). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the past 5 nights were in the 40s here in CNJ. 45.0, 44.0, 46.5, 39.1, and 48.3 respectively for the 24th-28th period. In total, I've recorded 16 nights < 50F for the month of May, and 6 of those nights were < 40F. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall the specific conditions, but Bill Goodman posted about it a few years ago (either here or on Eastern). I thought I remembered reading about it somewhere. I believe the tornado that touched down in the Bay Ridge/Sunset Park area of Brooklyn a few years ago (along with the torrential rains in other parts of the city) was involving a morning warm frontal passage. I don't remember if last September's (morning) tornado in Breezy Point was part of a warm frontal passage. I also believe I read about morning warm frontal passages and tornado frequency correlation in an OKX AFD a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low was a chilly 49.6F, giving us four nights in a row down in the 40s during late May, which is pretty unusual for Westchester. 49.6 counts as 50. Anyway, its not really that unusual, normal low at HPN is only 52 to 53 right now, so 40s aren't that far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
