Thank you. I should have mentioned that mine already came with a shield:

So it makes sense that those shields you linked aren't compatible when I checked. It's annoying that the one it came with is not doing its job properly. 

I just recently ordered the WH31P thermometer and will use it as a stand-alone unit. Since I don’t have an open area for the anemometer. Plus their console is a little busy for me and doesn’t have the cleaner look of the Davis. I tested the WH31E sensor and it lines up very well with the other local Wunderground sites near me and tweed airport very well.

I need to make a correction to my stmt 2 days ago: "block now gone". 

The block reforms Greenland and northern Canada Thursday (6th) onward and should linger through at least the 15th  I need to keep two things in mind...

1) it's further N than the one we just finished this past week so still looks like N of 40N lows (not pressing storm track far enough south)

2) NO southern streamer short wave so far and so I think we're going to need the block to depress (relocate  further s than now projected). We need the southern streamer for a coastal low

Am looking to sometime between Sun Nov 9-Thursday Nov 13 for a first possible widespread minor snow cover, on grass, INLAND II84 corridor.   Not unusual for first time in Nov.  

I liked Don's snow stats through Nov 15 in CP... but for now I cant see anything more than a T in the air if we get lucky.

In the meantime: sort of looks to me like a wind advisory event Wed night-Thu morning Nov 5-6

Subsequently maybe a BLOWOUT tide Thursday morning? 

I added the 7-10day 00z/3 MEAN 5H.. block evident but a little far north, I think.

I had the same with the vantage vue. When the sun hit it directly it would read about 2 degrees higher than when totally in the shade.

With the Vue I also noticed that issue common with home weather stations where it downpours the rain totals were a bit high. Did you notice that at all? Both those issues were annoying to me so I saved up and got the Davis Vantage Pro2 and haven looked back since both those issues went away. As a result, there’s a period of 6 or so years in my records where I have to take the high temps I recorded with a grain of salt, it’s evident in my records. 32 for the low here earlier, 34 now under gray skies. 

[donsutherland1]

Aside from the 11/2 12z run of the GFS, the GFS is not showing an early season snowstorm in the New York City area. Outlier events typically do not verify when they lack support. So far, there is very little support on either the EPS or GEFS for the kind of snowstorm one run of the GFS showed yesterday. In general, one should wait for support to develop and run-to-run continuity to develop before embracing outlier events. The probability of the kind of event for New York City and its immediate suburbs shown yesterday remains low. More likely is a cold rain event with highs in the 40s with perhaps some flakes mixed in, though the mixing remains uncertain at this time. A better chance of snow exists for parts of the Poconos, Catskills, Adirondacks, and central/northern New England, which would include parts of Dutchess and Orange Counties.

[bluewave]

Very fast Northern Stream pattern continues into November. A storm system cutting through or north of the Great Lakes every few days. Tough to get much in the way of coastal storm development as we have seen in recent years.

So we get warm-ups ahead of the lows and cool-downs behind. But no significant cold for this time of year due to such a strong Pacific influence. North America is very warm for this time of year and all the real cold is over in Siberia. This contrast between the record SSTs in the North Pacific drives the fast Pacific Jet.

 

November 3 to 10 EPS forecast

48 / 46 and cloudy with rain into SNJ from the sothern sstem exiting off the SC coast with some clearing later today.  Upper 50s to low 60s for most.   Dry and warm rest of the week back into the mid 60s, perhaps upper 60s Wed.  Next shot at light rain this coming weekend which could trend cloudier and break the nice weekend string we've had.   Trough into the northeast 10 - 12 with the coldest air of the season and first freezes possible, beyond there warmer towards mid month - ridge into the east potentially much warmer.

 

11/3 - 11/7 : Above normal / dry overall
11/8 - 11/12 :  Cooler / cold - first freezes possible 11/10-11/12, rain / storm pssible
11/13 - Beyond :  Warming to and above normal - ridge builds east.

Historical:

 

1890 - The temperature at Los Angeles, CA, reached 96 degrees, a November record for 76 years. (David Ludlum)

1927 - Somerset VT was deluged with 8.77 inches of rain to establish a 24 hour record for the state. (3rd-4th) (The Weather Channel)

1927: Historic flooding occurred across Vermont from November 2nd through the 4th. The flood washed out 1285 bridges, miles of roads and railways, and several homes and buildings. Eighty-four people were killed from the flooding, including Lt. Governor S. Hollister Jackson. Click HERE for additional information by Tom Moore. 


1956: (1st-3rd) Eastern CO thunderstorms turned into a blizzard by night (1st); drifts to 12 feet high. 16 head of cattle were driven by winds against a fence where they were apparently killed by lightning. Another 33 head drowned when forced into a river by the storm. (Ref. Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA)
 

1961 - A rare November thunderstorm produced snow at Casper, WY. (3rd-4th) (The Weather Channel)

 

1966: An early season snowfall, which started on the 2nd, whitened the ground from Alabama to Michigan. Mobile, Alabama, had their earliest snowflakes on record. Louisville, Kentucky measured 13.1 inches, Nashville; Tennessee reported 7.2 inches, and Huntsville, Alabama, had 4 inches of snow.


1980: The 24 °F temperature range in the local area with a low of 19°F in northwest suburbs to 43° in Washington, DC was very unusual. (Ref. Washington Weather Records DCA)

1982: Surface high pressure along the Mid Atlantic combined with upper level high pressure off the Bahamas brought unseasonably warm weather to the East Coast. Sterling (Dulles Airport), VA: 82°, Georgetown, DE: 80°, Philadelphia, PA: 76°-Tied, Binghamton, NY: 75°, Williamsport, PA: 74°, Albany, NY: 74°, Burlington, VT: 74°, Syracuse, NY: 74°-Tied and Worcester, MA: 73°.  (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1987 - Twenty-one cities, mostly in the Ohio Valley, reported record high temperatures for the date. The afternoon high of 80 degrees at Columbus OH was their warmest reading of record for so late in the season. Showers and thundershowers associated with a tropical depression south of Florida produced 4.28 inches of rain at Clewiston in 24 hours. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - A sharp cold front brought about an abrupt end to Indian Summer in the north central U.S. Up to a foot of snow blanketed Yellowstone Park WY, and winds in the mountains near the Washoe Valley of southeastern Wyoming gusted to 78 mph. Unseasonably warm weather continued in the south central U.S. Del Rio TX tied Laredo TX and McAllen TX for honors as the hot spot in the nation with a record warm afternoon high of 91 degrees. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Cold weather prevailed in the central U.S. Six cities in Texas, Minnesota, and Michigan, reported record low temperatures for the date. The low of 7 above zero at Marquette MI was their coldest reading of record for so early in the season. (The National Weather Summary)

1991: Brownsville, TX recorded its first snow since 11/28/1976. Only a trace fell but this stands out as significant, since snow occurred so far south so early and the fact that Portland, ME had not recorded its first snow of the season up to this date. The last measurable snow in Brownsville was way back in February 1895 when the local paper reported 5 inches on the ground. Brownsville did not receive measurable snow on any date in the 20th century.(Ref. AccWeather Weather History)
Record cold prevailed across Colorado behind the "Halloween Mega Storm". Pueblo dropped to -17°, breaking the previous record for the day by an amazing 28 degrees. Alamosa recorded -26°, breaking the old daily record by 18 degrees. Other daily record lows included: Havre, MT: -15°-Tied, Lander, WY: -12°, Glasgow, MT: -11°, Helena, MT: -8°, North Platte, NE: -6°, Bismarck, ND: -4°, Scottsbluff, NE: -4°, Colorado Springs, CO: -2°, Sioux Falls, SD: -2°, Norfolk, NE: -2°, Missoula, MT: 0°, Clayton, NM: 0°, Fargo, ND: 0°, Grand Forks, ND: 0°, Rapid City, SD: 0°, Grand Island, NE: 0°, Valentine, NE: 0°, St. Cloud, MN: 0°, Aberdeen, SD: 1°, Huron, SD: 1°, Lincoln, NE: 1°, Goodland, KS: 1°, Dodge City, KS: 3°, Sioux City, IA: 3°, Concordia, KS: 4°, Rochester, MN: 4°, Omaha, NE: 6°, Amarillo, TX: 7° (broke previous record by 11 degrees), Lubbock, TX: 7° (broke previous record by 16 degrees), Des Moines, IA: 7°, Minneapolis, MN: 8°, Waterloo, IA: 9°, Kansas City, MO: 10° (broke previous record by 10 degrees), Oklahoma City, OK: 11° (broke previous record by 10 degrees) plus additional cities.(Ref. Wilson Wx. History)
Alamosa, Colorado:In Alamosa, the temperature plunges to -26 °F (-32 °C) shattering the old record by 18 F degrees (10 C deg) as record cold grips Colorado. (Ref. WxDoctor)

 

2001: Hurricane Michelle reached peak intensity on this day as a Category 4 storm. Michelle made landfall on November 4-5, between Playa Larga and Playa Giron, Cuba, as a Category 4 hurricane, the strongest to strike the country since 1952's Hurricane Fox. The storm caused an estimated $2 billion US dollars in damage to Cuba.

2002: A Magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck central Alaska. The quake is the 9th largest to be recorded in the US.

2007: Dense fog in the early morning hours resulted in a 100 vehicle pile-up just north of Fowler, CA on I-99. Two people were killed, and 41 others were injured. The thick seasonal fog is known as "Tule fog" and typically occurs in Central California in late fall and winter.

I think if you get the WH31E, you can purchase a shield for it and then sync it to the ws-2902 (or whatever you have) station.  It won't show the temp from it on the console, but will on the app I believe.  I don't have this, but am thinking about getting it now.  Thanks Bluewave for the post.  I have a shield for my thermometer now, but if I can get this one, and sync it to the app, it would much easier than clicking though 2 apps like I do now.

edit:  I just bought the WH31E from Amazon.  It says it will be delivered today, so I'm going to try syncing this sometime this week.  

[the_other_guy]

looks like a solidly above normal month ahead.

 

Not by a lot, but it won’t be close to normal. New normal old normal whatever. 

 

if I still have my outdoor shower going at the beginning of November with no end date in sight, that’s a warm intro to winter

Yeah we're starting out warm too, with temps in the 60s for most of this year. And a fast PacJet will prevent any arctic air from being pulled from the north. That's why the models have showed colder air and wintry weather towards middle of month but in due time, that will likely be diminished due to lack of cold air at the same time the northern stream energy comes through.

Let me know if you're able to sync it. And what do you do with the little handheld part? You just leave it outside in the elements? And it just gets powered by double AAs? I don't get that part.

That is why I bought it from Amazon.  If I can't get everything working, I can return it easier.  I think that part goes outside (and I'll place it into the solar shield) and if I do it correctly, it will be synced to the console.  I hope it works, but I'll let you know either way.

Never noticed a rainfall issue. The vantage pro2 is the best because you can separate the wind and temperature. Radiation shield also much bigger on the pro2 and you can get the fan for it.

I haven’t kept up in the forecasting thread. What’s the seasonal outlook for the PAC jet? Another blowtorch?

I only have VP2 stations with fans, the rainfall amounts do get a tad higher in heavier rainfalls.  I replaced my older station in Syosset that had tipping to the spoon one, still occurs. Maybe it’s where the siting of station is, as Muttontown one doesn’t seem to do it.  I also wanted accurate wind along with temps, so have the sensors separated with anemometer on the roof above to a tripod pole grounded for lightning.  Scientific sales website has good pricing for Davis, since Davis seems to be expensive compared to other brands.

Inter-model guidance still showing a nice cool shot around Nov. 10-12. We'll see if it holds.

Looks like we get a shot of warmer air after that, but the average temps are becoming cooler this time of year now so above normal can still be in 50s by the time mid month comes.

Yeah. And I wouldn't ever expect wall to wall cold in November. The mean jet is historically to our north and its undulations deliver alternating cool and warm shots. But in a warming climate regime, I'm happy for every seasonal cold shot we get.

The short and sharp shot of cold looks good. Probably mid (maybe low) 30s for lows in the City, well into the 20s outside (teens in the coldest spots).

I only have VP2 stations with fans, the rainfall amounts do get a tad higher in heavier rainfalls.  I replaced my older station in Syosset that had tipping to the spoon one, still occurs. Maybe it’s where the siting of station is, as Muttontown one doesn’t seem to do it.  I also wanted accurate wind along with temps, so have the sensors separated with anemometer on the roof above to a tripod pole grounded for lightning.  Scientific sales website has good pricing for Davis, since Davis seems to be expensive compared to other brands.

Scientific sales is where I have bought a lot of my weather equipment. They are cheaper than Davis. I use my vantage vue for rain and temperature and wind readings are separate  about 30 ft . in the air.

For official rain at my place, I have a cocorahs gauge.  I always like to compare it to the station one.

Good idea, I used to have one but it cracked after years of use. Never replaced it but they are good.
