Heat wave????? Its %÷/!!! like this that gets me wild. A major reputable source using click bait catchy phrases then gets in the wrong hands (like the media who push you know what) and the public wont know that there is a friggin criteria for heat wave!!! 90°+ for 3 days.
As I have been implying all along, I suspect that it is a distinct possibility that this spring and summer could well have shades of 2012 like conditions in terms of weather.......just watch the developing El Niño revert back to near neutral conditions or, worse yet, return to La Niña conditions this summer; such conditions could well spell a potentially brutal summer in terms of heat waves
It's because of your maritime location. Any whom average high is now 59, 60 in a few days.
Not necessarily, it's true that we average less thunderstorms than even New Jersey, but the amount we've seen in recent years is far below the average. I wish I could find the source. The last good year for thunderstorms imo was 2012. The last epic storm I experienced was in Oct 2015.
You know it's bad when you can remember the month/year your last good storm occurred, the paltry 5 or 6 garden variety storms per year shtick is getting old.

The last good year for thunderstorms was 2012 imo, well then, perhaps this spring and summer perhaps Long Island will see some pretty good thunder boomers
If March 2017 turns out to be the 3rd warmest on record, then that would essentially mean that 1910 and 1946would be bumped down to 4th or 5th place in terms of warmth, and that would also mean that this March would be the warmest since 2012. I already am ironing out my predictions for the weather patterns across the lower 48 states for this spring and summer.

I have a very strong suspicion that this summer will be a washout and cooler than normal. If anything? Jume might be the only above average month as El Nino will still be weak and developing..
As for Spring, yes, it will be above average for the Midwest

My last epic thunderstorm was Saturday. Not too hopeful for tomorrow since it looks like a lot of the action may be south of North Jersey and NYC.
I do recall some pretty wild storms during summer 2012 and 2013. I was much more in tune with the weather then since I was working outside. The past few years are becoming a blur.
Still a balmy 55 F/13 C and it's not expected to drop below 50 F/10 C tonight. Forecast high of 74 F/23 C tomorrow. Looks much more refreshing Thursday onwards with highs in the 30s and 40s.

Summer 2002 would be the best case scenario. It could happen again, since we're in a warm regime right now.
RRWT has a warm look for the summer FWIW.
