I was really tempted to issue a Stage 3 Alert for locastions from Philadelphia through the New York City metro including central New Jersey and the southern Hudson Valley and Connecticut. However, I think it would be wise to wait for 12Z guidance to confirm the trends and developments I am seeing this morning.

There is a lot more opportunities for winter weather over the next 10 to 15 days as a deep trough digs in the East and a ridge builds to northern Alaska over the next several days. The negative EPO is returning and the pattern over the Atlantic is best described as nuetral in terms of [...]

The first observation I noticed throughout the forecast area was how dry the air was. This is a big deal everyone for one simple reason. Evaporational cooling.
The precipitation seen over Delaware and Maryland will slowly push north today, as high pressure gives way over the next 8 to 12 hours. Clouds will continue to [...]

The pattern will continue to amplify towards the end of the week and into the weekend. I want to touch on some points about the overall pattern first before discussion the forecast.
There is some discussion that the pattern appears to be like a return to mid December with a raging postive NAO. This is [...]

A very dangerous situation is developing for parts of the forecast area that can lead to some significant icing over parts of the interior by Wednesday morning. These types of forecast can be tricky to forecast because the line between a heavy rain and over 0.25″ of ice is like walking a tight rope [...]

Tonight I want to focus on the increasing threat for heavy rain and significant icing for the forecast area.
As seen on the map above, the majority of the forecast area will have mostly rain to contend with by the Wednesday morning rush hour. A total of 1 to 2 inches of heavy rain will [...]

The pattern developing for the end of the week and into the weekend is one of a classic KU set up that we’ve seen before. Now, before everyone goes nuts, I am not suggesting that a KU storm is on the way. I can’t say that at for another 3 or 4 days. What [...]

There has been a lot of discussion of what to expect for the storm on Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning. At first, there was a lot of indications that this may have the chance of being a wide spread snow event, however the overall pattern structure still does not support that outcome, yet.

The active pattern of stormy weather will begin today and last over the next 14 days, at least. For this post, I’ll focus on today through Monday.
A weakening disturbance, which is running right into the strong 50/50 low is rapidly weakening. However, enough WAA is entering the forecast area to produce some moderate isentropic [...]
