dWave Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Don't know if it'd make it down there but If JFK reports a trace of snow that would be a record for the date (and latest in April). LGA and NYC had a trace this date in 1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC10023 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 was walking the dogs in Central Park this morning when the flurries started. Kinda shocked me since it was so warm, I thought there was a mass exodus of petals from the trees around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 GFS/Euro actually look a lot more promising with regards to warm spring weather. Wonder if it's real or another head fake. EPS is still generally cool though it has a couple warmer days poking through over next 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 May 9, 1977 was not just a stray flake that some were lucky enough to notice. Durng the mid afternoon a cold rain turned to a heavy wet snow for a while on LI with temps in the mid 30's. It did not accumulate (although a haze of slush did start in some spots) but it was more than just a formality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The night before in Ithaca was one of the top 3 ever Grateful Dead shows, when the crowd entered the arena it was warm(ish) and nice, when they left it was snowing hard and there was a few inches on the ground. There were some surprised people coming out in shorts and t-shirts into a full fledged winter storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yesterday, 5.5" snow fall at Caribou. That exceeded the previous daily record of 4.6", which was set in 1989. Seasonal snowfall has now reached 146.0", which is the 9th highest figure on record. In addition, the total snowfall for the last two seasons (2018-19 through 2019-20) is 311.4", which is the second highest such figure on record. Only 2007-08 through 2008-09 with 313.5" had more. A storm coming out of the Ohio Valley will bring showers and periods of rain tonight and tomorrow. Temperatures will likely stay well below normal through tomorrow. Overall, readings will likely average generally below normal to near normal with a few warmer than normal days across the Middle Atlantic and southern New England regions through most of the remainder of the month. Warmer than normal conditions could return near the end of the month or just afterward. Past cases that saw the NAO average -0.750 or below during April 1-5 with warmth in the East, as occurred this month, saw the development of a trough in the East after April 10. That trough typically persisted in the means for 1-2 weeks. Looking ahead to May, 73% of cases that saw one or more days where the NAO fell to -1.000 or below during April 1-10, 1950-2019, as was the case this April, wound up with a warmer than normal May. However, uncertainty about the May outcome has increased. The MJO was recently in Phase 1 at an amplitude in excess of 1.500 for two days. During the 1981-2019 period, the MJO was in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 1.500 or above for two or more years in six cases: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1997, 2005, and 2010. During May, three (50%) were cooler than normal; two (33%) were near normal; and, one (17%) was warmer than normal. Ultimately, two-thirds of those cases went on to have a warmer to much warmer than normal summer. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.7°C for the week centered around April 8. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.55°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.62°C. Neutral and occasionally warm ENSO conditions will likely prevail through mid-May. ENSO Region anomalies could begin a steady cooling during late April or May. The SOI was +1.87 today. Today, the preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +0.217. On April 22, the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 1.793 (RMM). The April 21-adjusted amplitude was 1.796. February 2020 saw the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly increase by more than 0.50°C. Such a development has typically occurred before a warmer than normal summer. In all such cases, a warmer than normal spring was followed by a warmer than normal summer. Based on recent MJO data, the probability of a warmer than normal summer has increased. Such a summer is now likely in much or all of the East. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 91% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal April. April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 51.5°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
