[NEG NAO]

POTENTIAL UNUSUAL POLAR VORTEX  STRETCHING/DISTRUPTION EARLY NOVEMBER

If this verifies later season stretching/disruptions become more likely and December might not be as warm overall as now expected

We could use the break since the last month and change have been rather wet.  Nearly 5" at my station for the last 31 days.

At least I can keep the sprinklers on a bit longer with the projected AN temps into November.  I wonder what the chances are that NYC doesn't see a freeze until December at this point.

It is very likely nyc will not see a freeze until December. In recent years the first <= 32 F night in central park has gotten later and later. some years it doesnt happen until mid December.
