Temps busting low today? Its much chillier out there than yesterday, at least feels it in the city.

If you were even close to any water it was a couple days cooler. At Columbia up on morning side hill it was really actually as warm day. I took a walk down to riverside park and lower and next to the Hudson it was noticeably cooler

We all survived February, which had the same departure from normal. It really puts things into perspective, I wouldn't actually want a +12 July, a +6 would be sufficient imo.

Departures of 10 degrees or more can happen in winter months but not in summer months...As I posted earlier +6 or so would be a record month in summer...a plus 10 departure in summer would be deadly.

Wednesday was another one of those spring days where the warm downslope flow

allowed Newark to beat the forecast high by 8 degrees. The model guidance

just can't seem to handle these days very well.

Partially why it's easier to forecast summer departures: the amount of energy required to warm the air when the temperature is already in the 80s (average) is significantly greater than the amount of energy required to raise the temperature from the 30s (January averages). Variation tends to be much less as a result. A +2 JJA is very hot.

Huge difference between winter and summer months plus heat is far deadlier than a cold wave. A +12 July would be murder, can you imagine what a steam oven those subways in the city would be. Also the grid would probably crash and we'd see massive blackouts.

winter has a higher standard deviation. the end.
