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 [...]

December has come and gone along with all the holiday cheer, it’s time to look to see what the rest of January holds for the forecast area. Will the negative NAO be a major factor? Will the Pacific get back into the game or will January be a warm and boring month?
The basic idea [...]

Going into this period, I was hoping that model guidance would improve in sheilding some light on the events that will play out on Friday. To some extent, the guidance has given me a better idea of what to expect here. The general consencious is that the clipper to drive towards the Great Lakes [...]

The pattern in this period will be evolving into a cold and very storm pattern. In this post I will naturally explain the step down into what will make a lot of individuals in the I-95 corridor very happy, if you like snow at least. Then I will touch upon my thoughts for the [...]

The promise of a negative NAO has been seen on guidance for some time, but has never materialized because the way the model produced the negative NAO just didn’t make any sense. The atmospheric set up right now over the eastern Atlantic and Europe strongly supports the development of a negative NAO over the [...]

There are growing indications that 2009 will come in with a bang, at least in the terms of weather. There are signals that are becoming much more stronger for a cold and stormy pattern to develop in the last few days of December and through much of early January. The first key is that [...]

Today is going to be a very cold day, there is no getting around that. High pressure building in from the west in combination with the intense area of low pressure over the Canadian Maritimes will produce a strong pressure gradient over the forecast area, which will produce strong northwesterly winds. With temperatures today [...]

I can bet there will be some out there screaming that winter is over and January is a warm month after the end of this up coming week. A large ridge is going to build over the eastern third of the nation while an upper low digs into Alaska shutting down the northwesterly flow [...]

You got to love the model guidance this year. Rain, snow, rain, snow. Well, let’s through in some ice and then some wild long range pattern forecasts.
Time to get back to the basics, and the best way to do that is to look at the overall pattern that has been and continues to [...]

The model guidance is starting to come into better and better agreement with the upcoming pattern after Tuesday afternoon, which may have some very icy implications for the entire forecast area, even the coastal plain.
The main feature I want to focus on is the 12Z GFS, 18Z GFS, 12Z ECMWF, even GEFS ensemble [...]
