Looks like last year. Seasonals are not very accuarate.I mean it could turn out that way but predicting weather a month or 2 or 3 months in advace is basically a toss up. I remember saying this around this time last year when we were all on suicide watch because of the monthly's. 

I agree. Fortunately, at this timeframe, a lot can change.

It’s definitely not what winter weather lovers would like to see.

It’s interesting how close that Pacific forecast is to DJF 16-17 and 17-18. While we had the background SE Ridge, the Aleutian ridge built over the top at times for -AO periods. So getting those blocking intervals will be essential for near to above normal snowfall this winter.

DJF 2016-2017 and 2017-2018

Absolutely. Blocking will be crucial.

Clouds and some patchy drizzle confined temperatures to the 60s across the region today. Clouds should begin to break tomorrow and warmer air should return. Temperatures will likely reach or exceed 70° in much of the region tomorrow.

Newark's record-breaking streak with high temperatures of 70° or above ended at 127 consecutive days. The previous record was 119 days, which was set in 2008. For the year, Newark has 160 such days, which ranks 22nd highest. The record is 173 days, which was set in 2010.

Overall, though, the warm regime will continue through the coming weekend.

Bismarck remains in line for one of its 5 warmest opening weeks in October. Earlier today, Bismarck achieved its 4th consecutive 80° high temperature in October with a high temperature of 91°. That eclipsed the old daily mark of 90°, which was set in 1947 and tied in 1949. The 4 consecutive 80° days tied the record that was set during October 3-6, 1879 and tied during October 10-13, 1934. Records go back to 1874.

Fall 2021 will likely be wetter to much wetter than normal in the northern Middle Atlantic region. Since 1869, there have been 9 August cases where New York City picked up 20.00" or more rainfall during the summer. Two thirds of those cases (and 4/5 of those with summer mean temperatures of 73.0° or above) had 17.00" or more fall precipitation in New York City. 2011 is probably the closest match in terms of precipitation and a nearly identical summer mean temperature. Mean fall precipitation for those 9 cases was 14.86". The median was 17.35". The 1991-2020 normal value is 12.27".

Following very wet July-September periods, winter (December-February) precipitation has typically been near or below normal. The most recent exception was winter 2018-19.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was 0.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.0°C for the week centered around September 29. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.07°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.28°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely yield to La Niña conditions later this month.

The SOI was +12.57 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was -0.503 today.

On October 3 the MJO was in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 1.753 (RMM). The October 2-adjusted amplitude was 1.726 (RMM).

the bat signal went up. 

Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I'll always remember,
And I can recall,
Whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can sing me home. Please celebrate me home

Looks like the high was 68° with the minimum driving the warm departure.

 

I dont believe in this minimum fake heat.  I dont mind it being used in the "off seasons" but minimums should definitely NOT be used for describing hot summers.  The definition of a hot day is and should be, a day with a high reaching 90 or higher.  All a high min does is simply describe the amount of water vapor in the air not really heat.  A high min means more water vapor, not actual heat.  I, as a matter of fact, strongly recommend that when we calculate summer heat we ONLY use the high temperature to calculate averages, that would alleviate a lot of problems that come from water vapor taint.

I was shivering today, this was in no way shape or form a warm day!

I hate that song.  In addition to being overplayed, it shows horribly bad grammar.

Good evening BxE. He can still strike five times before he’s caught. Which is also the number for the second line of his song. Considering my alter ego, I better make sure the spare capes are pressed. As always ….

Morning thoughts…

Today could see clouds break in parts of the region. It will turn milder. High temperatures will likely reach the upper 60s and lower 70s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 69°

Newark: 74°

Philadelphia: 74°

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 68.2°; 15-Year: 69.4°

Newark: 30-Year: 69.8°; 15-Year: 71.3°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 71.0°; 15-Year: 72.2°

A generally warmer than normal regime will continue through much or all of the week.

So, the junk weather from mid afternoon Sunday into early today may abate a bit the next couple of days but should return this weekend.  Here are the two day totals that incorporate Sunday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Max 3" in Hartford County CT and the bulk of the 1+ near and north of I84.  Click maps for greater clarity.

Pattern suggests a few periods of drizzle interior NJ/NYS the next couple of days and potential for decent rain this weekend, probably closer to the coast for the weekend.

But just a few days ago you said:

 

”anyone thinking next week is going to somehow be cool is sorely mistaken”

 

I took note of it because I said this week would feature cool days.

So did I win the chicken dinner or did you ? :)
