I did not get the rain that I was expecting to receive yesterday, but I still got some rain, it currently looks like the next available date where my area could get some rainfall will be on Saturday, Sunday, and into Monday, currently right now I do not know how much rain my area could receive, but according to the most recent model runs, we could be in line to receive some pretty substantial rain totals.

Today my high temperature should be around 79 degrees, the low for today will be around 67 degrees.

Today I had reached a high temperature of 77, that is 3 to 4 degrees below normal, it was also mostly sunny all throughout the day, I hope that this continues.

This is my preliminary idea for the winter for the northeastern states:

I think that the northeast will not receive the high amounts of snow that it had received last winter, instead, I believe that the northeast will receive more small to medium sized snowfalls, ( such as 2-4, and 3-6 inch events, and not the 12-16 inch events that we had seen during last winter), but I do think that most areas will receive above average amounts of snow for the entire winter.

I also think that the northeast will be below normal temperature wise for the majority of the winter, this will be because the AO could be negative for the majority of the winter, and that will help to cause below normal temperatures for the northeastern states, and the northern part of the United States on a whole.

I will be making changes to this forecast as time goes on, my final winter 2011-2012 forecast will be released on October 22, 2011.

Looks like I have not posted here in a long time, but for the next few days here in the NYC area, we could be dealing with a large amount of rain, this could cause some trouble in the area.
