Yay east winds and rain this upcoming weekend 

I would be thrilled but not this weekend. Have my son's baptism on Saturday.

GFS and to a lesser extent the CMC shunts it all to our SW via a blocking high over SE Canada.  Still 5-6 days away

2009-10 was a west-based el nino, correct? 

2010-11 is probably an exception to the strong la nina/SE ridge correlation because we got a really good winter here as well. Was there any ridge that winter?

Yes

10-11 was pretty cold. It was our last deeply -NAO Winter

40s and 50s with rain for the weekend 

[donsutherland1]

Tomorrow will start off with unseasonably cold temperatures. Lows will fall into the middle or upper 30s in New York City. Areas outside of New York City could experience a late-season freeze. Highs will reach the middle 50s. Wednesday will be somewhat milder. The temperature could approach or reach 70° on Thursday before another cooling trend commences.

No significant rainfall appears likely through the foreseeable future. Some showers are possible during the weekend. There remains some risk for a more meaningful rainfall given the lead time involved.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.8°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +0.5°C for the week centered around April 15. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.43°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.15°C. El Niño conditions will likely develop during late spring or early summer.

The SOI was -0.07 today. 

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

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 87% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal April (1991-2020 normal). April will likely finish with a mean temperature near 55.9° (2.2° above normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.9° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Got this from SNE subforum.  Everywhere was warm last night  except the Northeast. Continuation of the pattern in the winter. 

Looks like a wet stretch coming up this weekend and into May.

30 here. 

[SnoSki14]

Got down to 28F, last 20s til Oct/November at least 

Can't recall seeing temps get this low in late April after multiple days of 90+ readings

[donsutherland1]

White Plains saw the temperature fall below 30F (-1.1C) this morning. The last time it got at least as cold this late in the season was April 23, 1982 when the low was 26F (-3.3C). The low of 28F (-2.2C) broke the daily record of 29F (-1.7C) from 1981.

Of course it does. I am going to the Savannah Bananas on Sunday. We can’t have nice weather for that…

[JustinRP37]

This is really impressive after the heat of last week. Not too often do you have highs in the 90s followed so close to freezing temps. 

[uofmiami]

27.3 (Muttontown) & 30.9 (Syosset) for morning lows.

This was a record breaking April temperature drop spanning around 5 days.
