bluewave Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 NYC up to 3.59 on the spring so far. It will be interesting to see how we finish. There hasn't been a top ten driest season in NYC since winter 2001-2002 while there were 9 top ten wettest since then. 10 driest springs in NYC 3.59....2016...so far 4.95....1885 5.06....1935 6.20....1887 6.39....1995 6.60....1905 6.81....1926 6.97....1965 7.01....1959 7.04....1963 7.05....1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Barring an additional rainfall between now and midnight which appears unlikely, I picked up 0.80" of rain for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah. The last 8 days in a row below normal were way back in March 2015. If we can extend it to 10 days, then it would be the first since February 2015. It should be at least 11, going off the GFS MOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyWx Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I wonder if this cooler pattern relative to what we experienced from May 2015 through March 2016 is indicative of a pattern break from the extreme warmth of that stretch? Not that we are entering a below normal temperature regime, but possibly a reprieve from the extreme warm months of +5 to +6 or more. We'll see if we are entering a less warm phase relative to the warmest May through March in record. May 2015....+6.1 Sep 2015.....+6.5 Nov 2015.....+5.1 Dec 2015.....+13.3 Mar 2016.....+6.4 Ironic that last year May was when the heat really began to crank, and now it's when it is backing off. Of course there were exceptions in between, like June 2015 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 This could easily end up being a year where we go from cool to hot instantly especially the longer the cooler stretch continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwarlock Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Going to cut it high on first pass to take a little off the top. As you said it is what it is the good news is that the dryness of April and the relative cool weather has kept growth at a minimum. We havent seen that ridiculous growth yet although I fear its coming next week when the sun comes out. Noticed last week many lawns were showing the grass seed so thats usually an indication that the growth spurt is coming. Should be okay this week. I am okay in cutting in wet lawns, the probem is pesky mist and drizzle which complicates things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwarlock Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 This could easily end up being a year where we go from cool to hot instantly especially the longer the cooler stretch continues. yep I can see next week being somewhat of a transitional week where we see some 70s and then off to the races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Highest astronomical tides of the year coming up later this week with the new moon. The prolonged easterly flow is pushing up tides on top of this. We could see widespread minor to perhaps locally borderline moderate coastal flooding with the evening high tide cycle especially by Friday.

tdp146 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 GFS MOS lost the warmth on the 10th, while the 11th is only +2. The average high hits 70 on the 11th. Its somewhat back again on 12z. But agree that there really isn't any 'heat' out there. Just getting to normal or a bit above this time of year is low 70s. GFS just always seem to be pushing the warmth off by a day each run. It just keeps getting stuck out at 150hrs +. I need no lower than 50 at night and 65-70 during the day so I can get the vegetables in the ground. Was looking to do it this weekend, but it will be last minute decision. Will probably still have to wait another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Travis Ave on Staten Island always floods when there is a very high tide...they have to close it from Victory Blvd to Richmond Ave when that happens...The walking and bicycle path along shore road in Brooklyn usually floods as waves crash over the sea wall during very high tides...

Isotherm Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 KBLM is down to 47F with rain/fog. Can't get much worse than that in the middle of the day in May. About a -20 on the maximum temperature; normal for early December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ could get warm sectored while Long Island stays cooler like we saw last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
