Is it going to be "one of those years" with lots of damaged crops? Lets hope farmers are ready and protect our food.
I believe this is in Alabama

Coastal moderation sucks . I was hoping for highs in the upper 30's tomorrow when they said well below normal.

Instead, we will see temperatures just 7.5 degrees below average:

Hi:51
Lo:28

Average high:60
Average Low:42

That isn't enough cold enough for a jacket, puhleazze weakies.

I would like to see it stay below 45 for 3 days straight.

It's mid April and plants are starting to come out. You should be happy that your moderation won't damage plant growth.

dew point is 60F, rain looks harder and more warm season like.

Current temps and radar and 500mb heights.




Departures.

A look at the current 850mb temps. I wish those pinks were over here but its going to "swing" by just to the north. If the air mass dug deeper and those pinks (-10-20C) were over the coast that would mean 30s during the day.

Air mass is not that deep so the coast wont see 30s for highs. But still.. we don't see a trough dig down that far often in mid April so this is special to see.

Freezing line at 850mb will be down to the North Carolina coast tomorrow



Not so much about coastal moderation than the temps aloft. National Weather Service would of mentioned the coastal waters instead use the 850mb temps as the temp guide for the surface.

For NYC Metro & CT .

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
