Frankly, it is disgusting out

Way too early to feel like a steam bath

I only hope this summer isnt a repeat of last summer, but this isnt a good sign

Could be even worse honestly. April this year is substantially warmer than last, we're talking top 5 warmest, and this looks to continue with the WAR pattern. 

I think a brutally hot yet stormy summer is on tap.

As of 12:30 pm, EDT, Atlanta had picked up 3.31" rain today (storm total: 3.40"). That smashed the previous daily record of 1.45", which was set in 1940.

As the day goes on, the rain should spread northward and eastward into the New York City region. Farther south, severe thunderstorms are very likely in parts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia. Some of those locations could experience tornadoes.

In New York City (Central Park) and adjacent suburbs, it still appears that 0.50"-1.50" rain will fall. Western New Jersey and parts of southeastern New York State could pick up locally higher amounts.

Across Upstate New York, northern Vermont, northern Maine, and parts of Quebec, including Montreal and Quebec City, widespread amounts of 1.50"-2.50" with locally higher figures are likely. Parts of that region will likely experience flooding on account of the much above normal snowfall that had occurred this winter.

Through yesterday, Caribou, which had received 164.7" snow this winter (3rd highest on record) had a 6" snowcover. Annual precipitation to date was 12.36", which was 3.33" above normal.

This April is continuing the 2010’s temperature departure reversal theme from March. NYC is on track for 7 out of the last 10 Aprils finishing with a positive temperature departure. March was the complete opposite with 7 out of 10 colder years.

It doesn't feel like a warm April though- nothing like 2002 when we were just completing a big heat wave!  I've had the heat on most nights this month.

Today, the temperature reached 80° in Central Park for the first time this year. Last year, the temperature hit 82° on April 13.

Today's high temperature was the warmest reading in New York City since October 10, 2018 when the temperature also hit 80°.

Nothing like a truly warm April, like what we had back in 2002 around this time ;-)

Honestly, this month doesn't feel warm at all with how much I've had the heat on lol.

Tough to compete against 2002 since it’s the closest we came to hitting 100 in April.

Newark warmest April high temperatures.

Wow thats amazing and unlike 1976, the heat extended all the way through the summer and even early fall!

On Long Island we haven't had the really high temps because of all the southerly flow, I associate warm Aprils with frequent highs in the 70s with a few spikes into the 80s.
