The Spring pattern that has brought a noticeable increase in precipitation over much of the forecast area, and that pattern will continue through the end of this week and through this weekend.
Note the map to the left. I labeled the “storm track” but not the jet stream pattern. The reason why is because the [...]

The one problem with baseball in early April over the Northeast and Mid Atlantic is that sometimes Spring gets delayed and thus your favorite team is playing in cold conditions. As a fan, you sit there and pray that your favorite player doesn’t get hurt or that you don’t freeze to death in the [...]

The spring pattern looks to be evolving into a progressive, active, and possibly very stormy pattern for the eastern two thirds of the nation.

A battle is setting up of atmospheric proportions between the more progressive Pacific pattern that is being established over much of the CONUS and a very strong negative NAO that is forming over the north Atlantic. For the most part, aside from the negative NAO, there isn’t much in the way of blocking over [...]

The overall pattern is going through a fundamental change. For most of the winter, a trough dominated much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation with cold conditions and a storm track that basically settled over the Mid Atlantic and Northeast. Over the next several days, this pattern will come to an end and [...]

The pattern will significantly change once again heading towards the end of the week. The trough over the East will give way to a building ridge that develops over the southern Plains and expands eastward towards the Southeast. Meanwhile, a trough will dig into the West and begin to send disturbances towards the Great [...]
