CIK62 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Next 8 days continue to hold at 2degs. BN for period. Still no tropical activity on the CFS here, till about 8/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Looks like another rainy Monday. Area of low pressure and warm front should bring a soaking to possibly flooding rain along the track of the storm. As usual, models differ on zone of heaviest overunning rains.

gravitylover Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 What a beautiful morning to have been out in the woods. Dry and cool with a stiff enough breeze there were almost no bugs at all. Yay summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just one 90 degree day here past 16 days, and don't know when we'll have another...I'm in the process of moving so the comfortable weather has been welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Yesterday's high was 77 here and today will likely feature a high in the 70s. Only 73F right now with a cool breeze, feeling more like Sept 6 than Aug 6. Gorgeous week ahead after tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I always see hints of more ridging in the LR that would bring more 90s but it always gets shunted as we get closer, so I'm not sure how many more 90s will occur. Early September often brings the heat but will it bring us 90s this year where the pattern has been strongly against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast low for Tuesday is 55 here. NWS has a high of 69F here tomorrow with the rain...that's pretty chilly for the Bronx in early August. Average high is still 84-85F in the warmer parts of the NYC Metro area. Though the summer hasn't been "cold" in terms of huge departures, it's been very moderate. The one real shot of heat was back in June 11-13 when LGA hit 101F. Central Park has a high of 94F for Summer 2017, rather unimpressive. However, June was +0.6F and July was +0.3F, so we are actually slightly above normal for the summer. There is a good chance August will be below normal though. Not seeing any signs of heat through 8/15. Most were thinking August would be the coolest month, unlike last summer when we had the torch August. So many of us are used to summers that are +2 to +3 that normal actually feels kind of cool. A lot of us have forgotten with torch summers like 1999, 2002, 2005, 2010, 2011, 2012 etc. that a typical summer here isn't brutal heat and strings of 90s, but alteration between hot days and cooler ones like tomorrow.

forkyfork Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 i thought the war would eventually win out but that western ridge kept the trough too close. 30 years ago this summer probably would have been well below average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Spring, it seems that we've been getting bursts of very below normal departures days. Tomorrow is a great example, and I remember a lot of chilly days in May, June, and even July (such as the 25th when it failed to get out of the 60's here). Despite being relatively close to normal like you said, it feels as if we're below. I think the clouds and rainy days have played a part in that.

nzucker Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 5 minutes ago, Morris said: Was thinking a lot about this. Yeah. Yeah the warmer SSTs today along with the enhanced UHI in Brooklyn/Queens where there has been massive amounts of development (both near the Barkley Center and along the water) seem to keep it from getting too cold in the summer in these parts anymore. This is a pretty good pattern for cool departures in the summer with a strong ridge over the PAC NW. Though we've also seen more of a +AO. Our last really cold summer, 2009, had more of a -AO. We've seen a really strong vortex over the Arctic, which, along with the global and development factors, do make it harder to force a lot of cooler air into the CONUS. We might get a negative departure out of August, but it may also follow the pattern of sneaking a bit above...should get decent minus departure tomorrow but then it's back to like 83/66 days which are around normal. Averages also start to decline a bit after 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmillz25 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 In Puerto Plata and fly back tomorrow. It's actually the coolest it's been seen I arrived here. Looking forward to the 60-70s in NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny though because I always thought they started earlier, like around the 2nd week of July. It seems in recent years their arrival got later.
