Potential for heavy rainfall has made it into rhe wording for sunday. What are we talking? Another 3 to 6 inches?

Yeah, we could see a subtropical or tropical system eventually form next 2 weeks  somewhere to our south. Not what the waterlogged parts of the region want to hear. Even if we don’t get a well defined system, the high moisture could lead to heavy downpours with weak lows and stalled fronts.

I would place a bet that some in this sub forum see more unwanted heavy to possibly excessive rainfall over the next 2 weeks.

Next 2 weeks look to feature above normal rainfall region wide.

I'd also bet the whole fall and winter are like that with the Nino

Agree.  Hopefully we can time some cold air and a favorable storm track here and there to make it worthwhile.

[Stormlover74]

Made it up to 84 before the clouds arrived

JB in his latest Schoenberg Salt Video Winter Update is now saying NYC gets near normal snowfall - seems reasonable

 

[straphanger]

Temps are definitely overperforming with more sun that expected this morning.  LGA is reporting 84 against a 80 degree NWS high.  My station alone hit 87 for a brief period earlier today.  Had to turn on the AC again after I thought I was done with it for the year.

[steve392]

Disgusting out.  87 and just feel humid as hell.  Getting dark to my northwest too.

Op model but the Euro is wet for it's entire run

Not to be taken verbatim obviously but it is dropping hints of a possible wet pattern next 2 weeks.

Details, timing and placement of wettest locations TBD.

Strong easterly flow plus well AN SSTs too. Depending on how things align we could see a lot of rain and very cool highs.
