“With warmer temps from climate change, you're going to have a warmer November... if you have warmer lake temps & you get a burst of intense cold air, that's going to make lake effect events a lot more significant." - Allison Finch, @UAlbany's @NYSWRCC

Many high temperature and high heat index ("feels like") records were tied or broken across NY yesterday. We've compiled these records for both traditional long-running stations ("ASOS") as well as @nysmesonet stations. It's likely you don't live far from a broken record!

A complex early spring storm will affect NY this week, bringing warmer temperatures and potentially isolated strong thunderstorms. Heavy rain combined with snow melt-water and possibly ice jams may produce localized flooding Wednesday and/or Thursday.

New year, same Lake Ontario! Lewis County rang in the new year with 5 days of non-stop lake effect snow. Who needs confetti when you have endless flakes? ❄️🎉 @nysmesonet #NYWeather

Big bubble, no trouble!
Just to give you an idea how large this high pressure area is over the Eastern US, there is not a cloud in the sky east of the Mississippi River, save for parts of Florida.
