around Gilgo Beach... and Post Sandy breaches.

* Tidal departures... 2 to 2 1/2 ft above astronomical tides.

* Coastal flood impacts... localized flooding of the most
vulnerable shore roads and/or basements due to height of storm
tide and heavy rainfall during times of high tide between 3 am
and 6 am. There is no significant threat to life and any impact
on property is minimal.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area... producing rip currents and localized beach
erosion.

The National Weather Service in New York has issued a

* Flood Watch for all of southern Connecticut... southeast New York
and northeast New Jersey...

* from midnight EST tonight through Wednesday afternoon.

* Low pressure over the southeast states late this afternoon will

to produce heavy rainfall mainly from late tonight into
Wednesday morning.

* Rainfall of 2 to 3 inches... with local amounts of up to 4 inches
in and near the higher terrain north and west of New York
City... is likely to cause significant urban... low lying and poor
drainage flooding at a time when many Holiday travelers may
already be heading to their destinations. Many small streams
will approach bank full... and some may experience minor
flooding.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be
alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to
flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.

A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 62 DEGREES WAS SET AT CENTRAL PARK NY
TODAY. THIS TIES THE OLD RECORD OF 62 SET IN 1923 AND 2011.

[TWCCraig]

This is absolutely absurd.  850mb temps right now are around 17C, which is above normal, EVEN IF THIS WAS JULY! If we were able to completely mix down from 850mb, our temps would be in the mid 80's! Central Park hit 68 degrees this morning, smashing the record, BEFORE THE SUN EVEN CAME UP. I'm sorry, but this is sickening how bad the climate has gotten.

Wow!

The low temperature was 3.628σ above the normal low temperature for the date (1981-2010 baseline). The old record high minimum temperature during either meteorological or astronomical winter was 59°, which was achieved on January 4, 1950 and December 4, 1998.
 
The previous latest 60° or above low temperature before meteorological and astronomical winter had occurred on November 27, 1896 (60°). The previous earliest 60° or above low temperature after meteorological or astronomical winter had occurred on March 25, 1913 (61°).

* Locations... Long Island including Nassau and Suffolk counties.

* Hazard types... snow and blowing snow.

* Accumulations... up to around 1 inch of snow is forecast
overnight through the Thursday morning rush hour. An additional
7 to 9 inches of snow is forecast Thursday evening through

you must travel... have a winter survival kit with you. If you get
stranded... stay with your vehicle.
