The early fall pattern can sometimes give us a preview of some characteristics of the late fall and possibly winter pattern and if that’s the case, then the one characteristic that really stands out is amplification. Over the next several days, a strong ridge will build over the western third of the nation up [...]

Summer-like conditions will return to the forecast area and will do so in a short period of time. That means that humid air and temperatures in the 80’s and possibly 90’s will return to the forecast area. When the hot summer conditions return, I’m willing to bet that the conditions will feel hotter and [...]

June has seen some very impressive rainfall amounts with many locations well over an inch above normal. Even some locations double the amount of normal rainfall.

High pressure is doing an excellent job this morning providing the forecast area with great Spring conditions for the entire region. High pressure will continue to provide the region with clear skies, light winds, and temperatures near normal. However, while today will be very pleasant; tomorrow will be the exact opposite.
An area of low [...]

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 latest visible satellite image clearly shows that fog has developed throughout much of the forecast area with dense fog advisories issued for much of the region. The dense fog has developed due to a combination of lingering low level moisture from a few showers early this morning and very light winds. The good [...]

The low pressure system that will send a strong cold front through the region on Friday evening will also support very windy conditions on Saturday. The low pressure system will move into New England as high pressure over the Ohio Valley builds into the East coast. We’ve seen this before, haven’t we? Expect Saturday [...]

The cool and quiet regime will officially come to an end in this period. A series of disturbances will begin to carve a trough that at first centered over the Tennessee Valley and end up over the Southwestern United States by early next week. A strong low pressure system and slow, moisture loaded cold [...]
