Clouds hang on but temperatures warm

7:16 AM
Yet another coastal low is slow to leave the northern Mid Atlantic as mid and high level clouds remain over much of the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan area.
Atlantic moisture will continue to rotate through the region leading to broken to overcast cloud cover through tomorrow afternoon.  A series of weak disturbances will [...]

Another wet day for the coast

8:50 AM
Once again the change in the clocks, this time back, has me all confused and wide eyed.  I feel completely off, but hey, why not mess with time?  We made it up after all.  Anyway, off to the forecast!
This morning, a strong disturbance is racing out of the Tennessee Valley and moving towards the [...]

Active Storm Pattern Begins

7:10 AM
I’ve been advertising since roughly mid October that an active pattern can be expected to end October and start November.  While model guidance has been jumping all over the place over the past several days, the forecast idea I’ve had for this time period appears to be coming to fruition.  It’s not that I [...]

Active pattern shifts west this week

9:50 AM
A deep trough is expected to develop over much of the western two-thirds of the nation, which will keep a ridge in place over the Gulf Coast and much of the Mid Atlantic.  However, a strong upper low over the Canadian Maritimes will keep much of the northern Mid Atlantic from experiencing the warmest [...]

Evening Thoughts- A shift further east for end of week storm

9:18 PM
This evening, a cold front is approaching that will begin to set up a potentially stormy end to the week.  However, before that happens, the cold front will have to move through the northern Mid Atlantic.
The water vapor satellite picture this evening shows that the Sub Tropical and Polar branches of the jet stream [...]

Mid Morning Updates- the beginning of a cool pattern

9:30 AM
There is plenty of moisture to the west of the Mid Atlantic, however the movement of the rainfall continues to move from southwest to northeast or basically from the Ohio Valley into western New York.
The upper level pattern this morning has a strong Southeast ridge in place with plenty of dry air over much [...]

Boat and beach report for Friday, October 9 2009

Clouds will continue to increase to overcast cloud cover as a warm front moves through the coastal waters.  Widely scattered showers can be expected through the day with drier conditions towards the southern New Jersey coastal waters.  Tonight, a cold front will move through the coastal waters with scattered showers after midnight, otherwise broken [...]

Active, cool pattern becomes established

5:15 AM
An area of low pressure over the southern Plains will usher in the beginning phase of a much cooler regime for the northern Mid Atlantic.  However, what was once potentially a very wet period for the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas is now shaping up to be much drier.
The reason for the [...]

Evening Thoughts- Moisture on the way

9:10 PM
This evening, a plum of moisture is moving from the southern Plains into the Ohio Valley as an area of low pressure develops over central Texas, basically right around Dallas, Texas actually.
The water vapor image this evening is even more compelling as
we can clearly see that the moisture associated with this rainfall is originating [...]
