Some spotty isolated showers/storms are building.

It's been pretty dark in my part of Queens for the last couple hours with the showers approaching from the north.  Though I've dodged that shower over Queens, as it's too far west of me.

I see nothing but blue skies to the north so it should clear out soon.  Not sure if that next area of storms around Poughkeepsie will make it down into the city.  Bit surprising overall for a day that was supposed to be mostly sunny.

Sneaky warm day here-up to 88.

New York City (Central Park) is finishing July with a monthly mean temperature of 76.4°. Despite the hot start to the month, that is 1.1° below normal (0.1° below the older 1981-2010 baseline).

Temperatures could return to near seasonable levels for a time this weekend. Sunday could be a bit cooler than normal.

Another moderate to potentially significant rainfall is likely Monday into Tuesday. No exceptional heat is likely through the first week of August.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.8°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +2.2°C for the week centered around July 23. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +3.38°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.92°C. The ongoing strong El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer.

The SOI was -26.84 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.295 today.
