The next 8 days are averaging 54degs.(45/63), or +10.0.

Month to date is 40.6[-0.1].        Should be 44.4[+2.8] by the 29th.

The GFS has 14" OF SNOW ON THE 29TH.!!    If this is the new GFS, it is going to have a short  life span.     Lobotomy is indicated.       The 06Z has no snow and little rain.   2.2" is now less than 1.0".    Mystery solved.

44*(50%RH) here at 6am.  (was 43* at 1am.)

It’s the outgoing GFS leaving one last memory of its cold and excessive snowfall biases.

Morning thoughts...

Under bright sunshine, today will feature springlike warmth. High temperatures will reach the lower 60s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 63°

Newark: 64°

Philadelphia: 64°

Tomorrow will be continued fair and a little cooler. Late in the week, there could be some showers and thundershowers, along with unseasonably warm readings.

The latest Euro is warm and dry. Has more wind than rain with the cutter later in the week. So that could be our next chance of 70s. Only has a brief cool down near the end of the month.

Looks very similar to the hot NE anomalies we have been seeing in recent warm seasons

I am not sure I buy things being that dry late week even though the GFS is currently showing the same. We'll see.

Something tells me that 3/29 - 4/4 is probably much wetter and it wouldn't surprise me the prior period trends a bit wetter too once past Tuesday.. Beyond there some stronger ridging into the east towards 4/4 or 5th.

I agree although I am not buying the snowfall accumulations the GFS is spitting out. While certainly not impossible it is highly unlikely IMO.

We will probably have to wait until within about 3 days for exact amounts. But our rainfall has been underperforming so far this month with the very low dewpoints. So I think we are on track for one of the driest Marches since 2010. The NYC average for March is 4.36”.

How on Earth did we ever get over 10 inches of rain in March 2010?  Outside of the midmonth noreaster I remember nothing else that was of note that month.  Maybe that's some sort of site error?

at this rate you should be putting out a forecast for the next time is when we might see some clouds lol.  Clear through today and tomorrow night?

Historic rainfall and flooding in March 2010. While our area had around 10”, SNE was 10-20”.

This was the warmest winter at Newark that recorded 45”+ of snow.

Some early signs of a hot summer with the dry weather and overperforming temperatures. 

We also don't have the typical spring -NAO/AO that we've been seeing lately.

We finally cashed in during the winter with that combo

i am annoyed that a few nyc weather forecasters said we had 28 inches of snow this winter they did not add the snow we had just a few days before winter officially began..

also the snow season aint the same as the winter season, they should just talk about the snow season.

Compared to even a decade ago, an increasing share of TV weather has essentially become little more than “fast food” of weather, though there remain exceptions. On many stations, it is no longer substantive (details and time spent discussing weather developments have decreased even as the impact of weather has not). On air expertise is sometimes superficial.

One sees fewer degreed meteorologists involved. Likely, on account of fewer degreed meteorologists being involved, when it comes to discussions of such things a precipitation type issues, one never sees the deployment of even a single sounding chart to illustrate what is going on aloft. Hence, an avoidable public misperception that it is ‘cold enough’ for snow persists even when there is too much warm air aloft.

This is an unfortunate situation. I always advise my friends and co-workers to follow the National Weather Service if they really want a forecast they can rely on. I continue to be impressed by the dedication and expertise possessed by those within the region (ALY, BOX, OKX, and PHI).

Never rely on weather on air personalities.

there's really no need to anymore.   You have smart phones with weather apps built in, the internet-so much more information available at anytime of the day. Gone are the days you had to wait til a 6:20pm weather forecast on Channel 7.    With that said, even the local newscasts as a whole are becoming obsolete.    It's basically a readback of information most have read online during the day....
