Beautiful out

Some big boomers scattered about by me.

Downpours missing me just a few miles to the west. Too bad because it's so dry out there. However these downpours today are so tiny that they probably wouldn't have helped very much anyway. I'm having to water my broccoli and romaine lettuce plants almost every day with this warm dry pattern. I hope we're not going back into the drought, but it appears that there's a good chance it's going to happen. Not much rain in sight.

Well I'd attach a low rest screenshot of radar but you can't even do that now. 

[steve392]

Storms really firing up. Skies getting very dark and winds are howling at times. 

[steve392]

Of course they're drying up as they approach.

Had torrential downpour about an hour ago but only lasted about 2 minutes.

Still numerous clusters of showers / storms over parts of NNJ.

Raining here

Nice looking clouds building to my nnw.

0.37 after the downpour.

Missed a nice cell by about a mile. Rolling thunder but not a drop. Rare for cells to fire up when they get to the barrier islands but not before.

The heating was able to make it down there today, was in the mid 70s even on the beaches. Had a few drops here in Melville.

Popped a quick 81 earlier with the offshore wind shift but clouds now and 77. That’s four days in the 80s

[steve392]

Got up to 82 after first showers cleared. Than a nice line developed with a great looking shelf cloud.  Getting gusty winds, lots of thunder and some rain.  Very light compared to what I saw falling to my north. 

[steve392]

Good soaking rain falling. 

Link to the shelf cloud that was rolling south.

A cooling trend is getting underway and it will culminate in a sharp cold shot early next week.

tomorrow will see temperatures top out in the upper 60s. Sunday will be even cooler with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s.  A sharp cold shot is likely early next week. Highw will reach the middle 50s, while low temperatures fall into the upper 30s and lower 40s.

Generally dry conditions will also persist through at least tomorrow. Some showers or thundershowers are possible Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. No significant rainfall appears likely through the foreseeable future.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.2°C for the week centered around April 8. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.30°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.07°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring.

The SOI was +14.78 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.178 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 90% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 56.3° (2.6° above normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 3.3° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.
