The Mild Winter Continues Here in New York City and the Northeast

The temperature today reached a record high of 64 in Newark, NJ and it was 62 in Central Park. The trend is for a western storm track that produces rain across much of the Northeast. The cold air outbreaks are lasting only a few days since the pattern is very progressive with little blocking the jetstream especially in the north Atlantic. There could be some snow around January 18, 2012 in parts of the Northeast according to this GFS model run.
