NAM18z had done it again for Wednesday. This would be insane. 97°F NYC metro?
GFS isn't as warm but check out the latest data for Poughkeepsie, NY. The actual highs and lows would be a bit higher and lower than whats shown here.
As far as why, Its the Canadien Highs/ cold fronts / northwest flow VS the Jet stream pulling back north creating a return south flow pushing the warm air up from south. Mid levels warming up as well.
I agree. But for the east coast it is exciting. The real high swings in temperature you'd only find in interior deserts like the Great Basin, Sonoran deserts, the Outback, and the mother of all deserts, the Sahara
6:30am temps: I'm bottomed at 47.2°. I'm glad I don't live around NYC or points south but I did wish I lived in the interior. Its so hard for me to drop below 45F this time of year
You see Bridgeport, CT up there? They haven't dropped below 50 yet. But they are well below normal for the lows.
Being 10-15 below normal is not an every day thing... neither is 10-15 above normal. But we're going to swing in both directions within 5 days this week.
With all the debates about microclimates and the impact that water bodies(Ocean/Lakes...etc) have on temps...this is a morning that it shows well. I just scanned the current temps...some places along the coast are 20 F warmer than areas inland and/or at elevation
Right now it's near 43 F in Wilkes Barre, PA...but its 56 Bridgeport,CT... 60 F in NYC...and 70 F in Ocean City, MD. It's 59 F in Pitt and 75 F in VA Beach:
Looks like it will be warmer in the coming nights but it was interesting to see the cooler temps inland.

Last year, the snow growth for the Northern Hemisphere ran WELL below normal in August through October.
This year, the NH is slightly above normal for this time of year.
The snow anomaly we have today didn't happen until mid October last year.
The above normal warm stratospheric environment this summer has lead to very cold temperatures around the Arctic.
If these trends continue with above normal snowfall coverage then look for much stronger Polar air mass for this winter..
You can already tell with the lows happening that it's already having an influence.
