Significant Snow Storm Expected For The Forecast Area

7:42 AM
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. 
My [...]

Colder Environment Setting Up Icy Weather For Interior

7:27 AM
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 [...]

Evening Thoughts For Tuesday Night And Wednesday

7:40 PM
At this time, my thoughts for the storm on Tuesday night through Wednesday have not changed.  However, I wanted to go over again how I think everything will evolving from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon.
Tuesday Morning:  On Tuesday morning, clouds will increase throughout the forecast area.  High pressure will be giving way to the [...]

Rain And Ice Setting Up For Tuesday And Wednesday

10:12 AM
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.
What we [...]

Active Pattern Begins

10:00 AM
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 [...]

Quiet Start To Weekend Followed By Active Stretch

7:50 AM
High pressure is currently in control over the forecast area leading to clear skies over much of the region with cold temperatures in place.  High pressure will slide to the north and east of the forecast area through the day, giving way to a weakening area of low pressure for tomorrow.
As discussed before, the [...]

Light Snow On The Way

6:58 AM
The Alberta Clipper that is driving through the Great Lakes has some bands of light snow showers moving through Pennsylvania this morning.  The first band appears to be virga (precipitation that doesn’t reach the ground due to evaporation in drier layers of the atmosphere) as I have not seen one observation of snow from [...]

Stormy Week Expected

11:18 AM
However stormy does not mean snowy for all. 
There is a lot of uncertainty about the end of this period and a lot of that has to do with the waning of the negative NAO.  I don’t buy the idea of a complete collaspe of the block over Greenland  (at least not yet), but I do [...]

Cold Start To The New Year

10:53 AM
This year is certainly starting off on a cold note as temperatures will remain well below normal today.  High pressure will continue to build into the forecast area, which will allow the pressure gradient to fall off and decrease the winds over the forecast area.  However, the highs today won’t go far with the [...]

Busy Start To The New Year

9:34 AM
Happy New Year Everybody! 
If you aren’t frozen from celebrating outside last night, then welcome to 2009.  I hope this year is better than 2008 for everybody, especially my New York Mets who hopefully can finish a game and season better than the past two years!
Anyway, I have a lot of work to do this [...]
