A much quieter day on this Christmas eve compared to yesterday as the system responsible for our stormy weather has left behind some scattered high cloudiness.
“A lot of places will blow away their previous record highs” for temperatures, said Bob Oravec, a National Weather Service forecaster.
Rain is expected to move in Thursday night and hang around Christmas Day, and there could be snow in communities at higher elevations, the NWS office in Oxnard said.
The monthly average temperature for December is 37.5 degrees Fahrenheit in NY.
Record highs had have been recorded early on Christmas Eve in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, New York, as temperatures topped 60 degrees in each city.
New York City has broken its record for the warmest Christmas.
The warm temperatures did interfere with a Toronto Christmas tradition as the skating rink at Nathan Phillips Square closed down due to the melting ice.
A noontime temperature in Central Park of 72 degrees Thursday crushed the previous record of 63 degrees, set in 1996. “However temperatures will remain well above normal into the weekend”.
“Cold air behind the front will drop snow levels down to between 3,000 feet and 4,000 feet”, the outlook said.
Some meteorologists are referring to the warm weather as a “blowtorch” pattern in the East, primarily a product of what Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips called a “super El Niño”.
She attributed the warmth to a jet stream keeping cooler temperatures in Canada.
