Evening Thoughts: The risk of a stronger, more defined coastal low

11:00 PM
In this morning’s post I discussed the threat of a stronger coastal low due to a more pronounced coastal front.  The guidance from 12Z and 18Z took a troubling turn in suggesting just that scenario.  One of which, that even suggest that the coastal low becomes the primary low SOUTH of the northern Mid [...]

Surprise Snow For The Hudson Valley To Start The Week?

7:05 AM
The model guidance in this period is in some disagreement on how to handle the upper level development of the pattern and therefore the surface features.  I think the GFS is an outlier here and leaned more on the ECMWF with some tweaks here and there.  
On Sunday afternoon, a disturbance in the southern [...]

Wet And Active Period Ahead

6:36 AM
Next week will feature a storm track that will begin over the southern Plains and head towards the eastern Great Lakes.  This type of storm track is NOT a snow producer, but has the potential to develop an ice situation for some locations in the forecast area.
On Monday, the cold front will clear the [...]

Trends I’m Keeping An Eye On

9:04 AM
While the forecast is certainly going as planned, even the thoughts about the mid level forcing have worked out, I am noticing an interesting trend at 850 MB that bares watch.  Note over western Pennsylvania that the progression of the 850 MB freezing line has stalled from moving north and then strong cold air [...]

Forecast On Track As Precipitation Intensifies

5:34 AM
Good Morning Everyone!
So far this morning the forecast is pretty much on track.  Precipitation has changed over to rain over the immediate southern New Jersey Coast or basically from Atlantic City southward through Cape May County.  A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is falling over interior southern New Jersey into Philadelphia as [...]

Watching The Pressure Trends

7:19 AM
This morning, a defined CAD signature is developing over the southern Mid Atlantic as snow is falling from Washington, D.C. to southern Pennsylvania.  Why is the CAD so important?  
My concern going into tomorrow morning is not so much heavy snow, which there will be, but for the potential for a significant ice event. [...]

Quick 00Z NAM/21Z SREF Thoughts

9:49 PM
I got most of the data in from the 00Z NAM and 21Z SREF guidance in.  The idea from these guidances is a light to moderate snow starting Tuesday morning through early Wednesday morning followed by a snow/ice mix to the west of I-95 and a snow/ice/rain to the east of I-95.  The position [...]

Defined Thoughts And Increasing Confidence

10:52 AM
I’m going to cover all the thoughts for the next seven (7) days in this one post.  The reason is because the short and medium range periods are really interconnected so there’s no point in splitting them up.  So get that coffee cup and prepare to read a lot.  I’m going to add more [...]

The Only Consistency In The Models Is Inconsistency

8:32 PM
I’ve been getting a lot of emails today about the period from Sunday through Thursday.  Actually, I’ve been getting a lot of emails over the past 4 days about this period.  I want to just send an apology if you didn’t get a response, consider this post your response.
My confidence for the period of [...]

Troubling Trends

9:40 PM
There are some indications that I’ve seen in the past hour that has me a bit worried about significant ice for central, western, and northern New Jersey and much of eastern Pennsylvania.
At this point, most model guidance had the low level cold air pushed out of central and southern New Jersey and warm air [...]
