Big changes are now evolving in the hemispheric weather pattern. A historic EPO block is forecast to develop. During November 15-16, the EPO is forecast to reach its lowest values on record. The extreme EPO block will set the stage for an extended period of colder than normal temperatures bringing an abrupt end to the exceptional warmth that has prevailed through the first 12 days of the month.

The remnants of Hurricane Nicole tracked well to the north and west of the region today. Nicole's remnants swept unusually warm air northward producing near record and record warmth. Record high temperatures included:

Albany: 71° (old record: 68°, 1909)
Atlantic City: 72° (tied record set in 1964)
Bangor: 68° (old record: 66°, 2012 and 2020)
Binghamton: 66° (old record: 65°, 1964)
Boston: 76° (tied record set in 1909)
Bridgeport: 72° (old record: 67°, 2021)
Burlington: 71° (old record: 70°, 2012)
Houlton: 67° (old record: 63°, 2020)
Islip: 72° (old record: 67°, 2014)
Manchester: 74° (old record: 66°, 2012 and 2020)
Nantucket: 69° (old record: 68°, 2014)
New Haven: 75° (old record: 68°, 2021)
New York City-JFK: 72° (old record: 66°, 2014 and 2021)
New York City-LGA: 69° (tied record set in 2020 and tied in 2021)
Newark: 74° (tied record set in 1938)
Poughkeepsie: 72° (old record: 69°, 1964)
Portland: 73° (old record: 66°, 1909)
Westfield: 68° (old record: 65°, 2012 and 2014)
Westhampton: 73° (old record: 66°, 2012)
White Plains: 68° (old record: 65°, 2021)
Wilmington, DE: 72° (teid record set in 1992)

Following today's near record and record warmth in much of the area, numerous locations tied or extended their records for most 70° days in November. Records include:

Albany: 4 days (tied record set in 1931 and tied in 2020)
Atlantic City: 7 days (tied record set in 1953 and tied in 2020)
Boston: 6 days (tied record set in 1927 and tied in 1990 and 2020)
Bridgeport: 5 days (old record: 4 days, 1975)
Caribou: 2 days (old record: 1 day, 2020)
Hartford: 8 days (old record: 7 days, 1975 and 2020)
Islip: 6 days (old record: 4 days, 1975)
Manchester, NH: 7 days (tied record set in 2020)
Nantucket: 3 days (old record: 2 days, 1971 and 1975)
New Haven: 6 days (old record: 4 days, 1975)
New York City-JFK: 6 days (old record: 5 days, 1975)
Newark: 9 days (old record: 7 days, 1975 and 2020)
Philadelphia: 10 days (old record: 9 days, 1975)
Portland: 3 days (tied record set in 1953 and tied in 2020)
Poughkeepsie: 7 days (old record: 6 days, 1975 and 2020)
Providence: 7 days (old record: 6 days, 2020)
Westfield, MA: 7 days (tied record set in 2020)

Some daily rainfall records were set, as well. Locations included:

Bangor: 1.15" (old record: 1.06", 1947)
Caribou: 1.71" (old record: 1.20", 1946)

November's "summer fling" is now coming to a decisive end. Much colder air will pour into the region tonight. Minimum temperatures will dip into the 30s for the first time this season tomorrow night or Monday morning at LaGuardia Airport (will be the 5th latest first occurrence) and Central Park (will tie 1946 as the 2nd latest first occurrence). Highs will recover to no higher than the upper 40s and perhaps lower 50s through next week. In addition, a storm could bring a cold rain to the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. Some interior sections could see some frozen precipitation. An accumulating snowfall is likely across parts of upstate New York and northern New England.

Beyond mid-month, Atlantic blocking could try to develop. Early indications suggest that the blocking won't be strong. Its duration, should it develop, remains uncertain.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -1.8°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -1.1°C for the week centered around November 2. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -1.71°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.90°C. La Niña conditions will likely persist into the winter.

The SOI was +4.51 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.409 today.

On November 10 the MJO was in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 0.861 (RMM). The November 9-adjusted amplitude was 0.961 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 74% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal November (1991-2020 normal). November will likely finish with a mean temperature near 50.0° (2.0° above normal).

Morning thoughts…

Early rain will give way to breaking clouds. It will become partly sunny and much cooler today. High temperatures will reach the lower 50s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 53°

Newark: 53°

Philadelphia: 53°

Colder than normal temperatures will last through the week.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 54.9°; 15-Year: 54.9°

Newark: 30-Year: 55.8°; 15-Year: 56.0°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 56.8°; 15-Year: 56.8°

A freeze watch is up for southern Nassau but not southern Suffolk. I am glad to see northern Nassau is not included. Usually the NWS seems to put up advisories by county lines whether it makes sense or not. Regarding southern  Suffolk is it because they don't think they will have a freeze or they believe, probably falsely, they have already had one. I believe the low so far at Islip is 36.

While it looks like Islip will eventually get their first freeze by next weekend, this will be one of the latest on record.

Either way we all will have a hard freeze by the time the week is finished, the low is projected to be in the 20s Thursday night/Friday morning!

11/15 is their latest on record?  This will beat that record.

I thought 2001-2002 had our latest first freeze and our earliest last freeze?

What a (non) winter that was!

for NYC and the local airports too?  JFK beat their record number of 70 degree highs in November already!  Half of the first 12 days were over 70 and we had our latest ever 80!

They’re not issuing anymore frost/freeze advisories outside of NYC, Hudson, and southern Nassau because the growing season “ended”, even though it largely didn’t for LI.

My northern Suffolk basil bush is untouched and still blooming, the bees have been happy. No freeze yet, not even a hard frost.

We'll all have 20s for lows by the end of the week-- so not long to go for that hard freeze.

they were extending the dates of the frost/freeze program. Here is a map of the extended dates. The city and southern Nassau have the same dates as coastal Virginia.

I understand southern Nassau may be a little more urban than southern Suffolk but not really that much especially western Suffolk. So I don't know why southern Suffolk is different especially far eastern Suffolk like Montauk area.

The only places on Long Island that have dropped below freezing so far, thus ending the growing season, are the pine barrens out east. Freeze warnings/watches, in my opinion, should be issued until we actually drop below 32. Not sure about Upton's reasoning since ISP and much of the island hasn't had a freeze yet. They have the city in a freeze watch, but it will likely stay above freezing in the city. With enough radiational cooling and calm winds, most of the island could see a freeze Monday night/Tuesday morning. Personally, I would have the whole island under a freeze watch, and exclude the city.

I think those frost /freeze products are really to keep farming interests aware of early season freezes. At a certain point, like by November, your harvest is finished anyway.

First frost in 1977 was late.  Three months later was the Blizzard of '78.  There's hope!

LGA had their greatest snowstorm only a few weeks after their latest first freeze in January 2016.
