With nothing to lock it in, I can see that.   NE forum mets seem to be saying the same as well

So do the mets at the CPC

The cool down looks like it is going to be as brief as the warmth next week, EPS starts warming the pattern up again by the Equinox (3/20)

Eps and euro are much colder than the gfs due to the MJO going into 8.  Right now it looks brief but let's see what happens as we get closer. Its defintely going to eventually warm up for good but not now .

The timeframe between the 15-25 should be watched for some snow.

Thunderstorm! Wow! With snow on the ground

[steve392]

Nice heavy cold ass rain...

[SACRUS]

0.52 in the bucket and more to come 

[SACRUS]

Today

EWR: 44 / 40 (+3)
NYC: 46 / 38 (+2)
LGA: 45 / 37 (+2)

Periods of rain will continue into tomorrow. A storm total 0.50"-1.50" rainfall is likely across much of the region. Highs will likely reach the lower 40s tomorrow and Friday. 

It will turn noticeably warmer during the weekend. Long Island and coastal sections could be noticeably cooler than interior sections on a number of days on account of a chilly onshore flow.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around February 25. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.62°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.28°C. Neutral ENSO conditions have now developed. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring.

The SOI was +13.59 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.072 today.

the sidewalks need a good cleaning after 6 weeks of salt and yuk on top of them so the rain is welcomed..

It's a short cool window. With AO staying positive, cool downs can't last

Yes we need this extended soaking rain to wash this salt away. These mist and drizzle days wasnt really doing it.

[MJO812]

40 and heavy rain now

[Stormlover74]

Pouring

[Prue11]

.76 so far. Easily will be over an inch. Putting a good dent in the drought this week 

[JerseyWx]

This turned into a really nice soaker here.  Sitting at just under an inch, and there's still some serious moisture headed towards us.

[BobbyHolikWillFindYou]

Bad night to be a leaky roof.

[steve392]

Just pouring here in little ferry. 

[WeatherGeek2025]

that's a lot of rain

[weathermedic]

1.20 at my station for the day so far. Nice beneficial rain which as others have said will do some cleaning of the streets and sidewalks 

[MJO812]

Nice car wash and street cleaning tonight. 

[psv88]

1.40” so far. 

[nycwinter]

about 1.50 inches of rain for nyc.

[bluewave]

Pretty impressive how the record ridge out West which began back in November is continuing into March. But the Northeast trough isn’t quite as strong as it has been. So it looks like a weaker reflection of the pattern in the Northeast at least. This corresponds to the typical backdoor pattern that we see in the spring. 
 

 

[TriPol]

Over 1.5" of badly needed rain at Central Park. Not bad at all.

[EastonSN+]

Way out there but this next window is the last to:

1.) Get CPK to 50 inches

2.) Give Providence their all time snowiest winter!!!!

Unlikely given that March only had 5 inches or more when December had the same FOUR TIMES since 1970.

[JustinRP37]

Not sure any amount of rain can wash away all the dog $hit on the sidewalks. 

[JustinRP37]

And it might not all be dog $hit. There could be some human mixed in there as well... At least when it was frozen it wouldn't get everywhere.
