Same here. I don’t need 3-4 inches in a hour. This is best currently. Everything looks to be moving towards nyc

Yeah a nice half inch so far

[weathermedic]

Looks like the intensity is decreasing somewhat as the sun sets

Heavy rain currently 

[Picard]

Mostly light to periodically brief heavy rain on and off all afternoon along with hours of scattered lightening and thunder.  Rain gauge only registered 0.75" so far which seems accurate as the most intense cells skipped just west of us.  Rainfall totals are much more impressive to the west in a line from Hunterdon County up through High Point State Park.

It looks like things are calming down.  Haven't heard thunder now in over a half hour and radar is showing less intensity.

.85 light rain. Great soaking tonight 

[ForestHillWx]

Finished with about 2.5”; noaa rain gauge confirms (not sure the accuracy). 

[CIK62]

The next 8 days are averaging     60degs.(53/68) or +4.

Month to date is     59.6[+8.8].      Should be     59.8[+7.1] by the 24th.   If the second half of April just averages Normal, 56.4, this will be the warmest April ever.

Reached 70 yesterday at 3pm.

Today:    63-68, wind e. to s., cloudy, 55 tomorrow AM.

58*(93%RH) here at 7am- variable fog{was 56 overnight}     61* at 9am.     62* at 10am.       65* at 2pm.      66* at 3pm.     58* at 7pm-basically in and out of some fog all day, like yesterday.       55* at 11pm.

Nice. 0.0 here on the island and .02” at the park. I really hope this isn’t the start of another warm season drought for the island.

Fog briefly rolls in:

[MANDA]

Received 1.34" rain here. Western half of NJ did best with lowest amounts eastern half.  Some NJ coastal area communities had little to nothing.  Friend in Mt. Laurel had dime to quarter size hail falling for better than 3 minutes.  Ground covered.

[SACRUS]

0.20 in the bucket here in CNJ, missed the much heavier rains to the north by 5-10 miles.  58 and now 60.  Low clouds will be slow to urn but should be full sun by the afternoon and shoot temps to near / low 70s.  Front comes through Mon (4/17) with more showers before a cooler Tue (4/18) and Wed (4/19).   Brief warm up Thu (4/20) - Fri (4/21) and with full sun perhaps a stray 80 or so.  Next front and chance for rain comes next weekend Sat (4/22).  Cooler period 4/23 - 4/27 overall last 10 days near normal.  Not looking very wet overall either.  Strong warmth looks to subside outside warmer days Thu/FRo this week for a week or so.

[SACRUS]

 

Stuck like glue but slowly burning of by the PM.

Up to 69 at my station on a light ENE wind. Sun shining through the clouds.

[Volcanic Winter]

Yup, I had next to no rain at all. We seemed to suck on virga for a bit and things got damp, but no measurable rain fell.
 

Definitely feels like we’re starting to dry out around here. 

[Tatamy]

My total from yesterday was 1.45”

same here a couple one hundreths of an inch then some drizzle.   

[gravitylover]

I got .4. Not nearly enough to make up for the recent dryness.

Following four consecutive 80° or above days, Madison is about to see 2"-5" of snow overnight into tomorrow. Should measurable snowfall be recorded today, that would be the first time Madison has ever seen measurable snowfall one day after an 80° or above reading. Madison has had 3 measurable snowfalls two days after such a temperature: April 2, 1978: 0.5", October 23, 1979: 0.2", and April 9, 1991: 0.5".

No such wintry weather is likely anytime soon in the northern Mid-Atlantic region. However, it will turn briefly cooler this week.

Tomorrow will be another mild day, but a brief shot of much cooler air will follow. Tuesday may see the temperature stay in the 50s in New York City and struggle to reach the lower 60s in Philadelphia. Milder air will then follow, but a more sustained cool period could develop next weekend.

April 2023 remains on a trajectory that will likely rank it among the 10 warmest Aprils on record in the northern Middle Atlantic region. A cool end to the month won't be sufficient to avoid top 10 warmth.

The most recent April case to rank among the 10 warmest was:

Boston: 51.7°, 2019 (5th warmest)
Bridgeport: 54.0°, 2017 (1st warmest)
Islip: 51.9°, 2019 (6th warmest)
New Haven: 50.8°, 2022 (6th warmest)
New York City-Central Park: 57.2°, 2017 (2nd warmest)
New York City-JFK Airport: 55.1°, 2017 (2nd warmest)
New York City-LaGuardia Airport: 57.6°, 2017 (2nd warmest)
Newark: 57.2°, 2017 (4th warmest)
Philadelphia: 59.0°, 2019 (3rd warmest)
Poughkeepsie: 53.0°, 2017 (3rd warmest)
White Plains: 53.9°, 2017 (2nd warmest)

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +2.7°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.0°C for the week centered around April 5. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.77°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.03°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail through at least mid-spring. El Niño conditions will likely develop during the summer.

The SOI was -12.40 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.848 today.

On April 14 the MJO was in Phase 7 at an amplitude of 1.657 (RMM). The April 13-adjusted amplitude was 1.854 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 95% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 57.6° (3.9° above normal). That would rank as the second warmest April on record.

Yet another month of above normal temperatures.  Don, any idea what the record is for NYC for most consecutive months of above normal temperatures.  Is there such a record kept?  Any way to find out what the most consecutive number of above normal months is?  Even if just .10 degree above normal.  Just wondering. Thanks as always for you daily updates.  Always an interesting read.

April 24 and right into May looks BN:

70 the high here today. Now down to 57.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of such data. 

[CIK62]

The 2014-16 period had about 20 months in a row here in NYC.      I think Tampa had about 30 straight AN months at this same period.     SE Ridge and SST's,  I guess.

Remember you have to the use the 30-Year Normal that was in effect at the time  for each month.

[Roger Smith]

One answer to question(s) about consecutive above normal months ... this table shows 1981-2010 and 1991-2020 averages as well as all monthly averages. I have highlighted all above normal months (1991-2020 normals) in bold and those which were only above 1981-2010 normals in bold italics (e.g. Jan 1894). Any underlined value is on the average value (e.g. Jan 1924 is on the 1981-2010 average). This establishes the longest stretches of above normal monthly temperatures. Analysis follows the table.

LONGEST INTERVALS of ABOVE NORMAL MONTHLY TEMPERATURES

(in specified intervals)

1869 to 1900: 

** 3 months warmer than 1991-2020 averages just once before 1900 (Dec 1889 to Feb 1890)

** 6 months equal to or warmer than 1991-2020 averages June to November 1983 (one month, Oct 1983, was equal to those)

1991 to 2023:

** 11 months warmer than 1991-2020 averages Oct 1990 to Aug 1991

** 15 months warmer than 1981-2010 averages July 1998 to Sep 1999 (two equal to those averages, July 1998 and March 1999)

** 10 months warmer than 1981-2010 averages July 2022 to Apr 2023 (assuming Apr 2023 stays warm enough) and eight are likely to be above 1991-2020 but the longest string of consecutive above normal relative to 1991-2020 will be four Jan to Apr 2023. 

========================================

On the flip side, the longest runs of months below 1981-2010 normal values are these (in chronological order):

23 months Feb 1874 to Dec 1875 

21 months Aug 1885 to Apr 1887

18 months July 1892 to Dec 1893

16 months Oct 1925 to Jan 1927

13 months Nov 1939 to Nov 1940

10 months Oct 1977 to July 1978

(9 months Mar 1992 to Nov 1992)

10 months Nov 1995 to Aug 1996 although 13 to Nov 1996 not above normal (Sep on the 1981-2010 average)

 9 months Mar 1997 to Nov 1997

Since then, the longest interval of below 1981-2010 average months is only five Oct 2002 to Feb 2003

and since then four (Apr to July 2003, and Jan to Apr 2014). 

The longest intervals colder than 1991-2020 averages are sometimes the same as the above list except that Apr 1871 to Dec 1873 had no month warmer but one month (July 1872) equal. That would be 33 months. Some of the other members of the above list fall between months that were above 1991-2020 normals as well as 1981-2010. except for July 1892 on, which encounters months not warmer than 1991-2020 normals until July 1895 (36 months), however March 1894 was equal to the 1991-2020 average; also July 1925 to Jan 1927 were all below 1991-2020 (19 months) . Sep 1939 to Mar 1941 (19 months) were all below 1991-2020 averages. 

Jan 1958 to Mar 1959 (did not qualify above) were all below 1991-2020 averages (15 months)

Aug 1977 to Feb 1979 (also not represented above) had 19 months below 1991-2020 averages. (three were above 1981-2010 averages)

Nov 2013 to Apr 2014 were below 1991-2020 averages. 

Since then the longest interval not above 1991-2020 averages is only four months Apr to July 2017 and this includes June equal to the average. 

The 2001-2030 normals are likely to be 0.3 F or more above the 1991-2020 averages.
