High pressure will continue to dominate much of the northern Mid Atlantic today through Sunday with scattered clouds and temperatures returning to near normal levels. In fact, many locations along the coast will push into the lower 40’s for highs, which will aid in slowly melting the snow pack over the region.
The next storm [...]

As the low pressure system that produced light to moderate snowfall over much of the northern Mid Atlantic exits into the north Atlantic, high pressure takes hold with a well deserved break from winter weather precipitation for the region.
Yesterday’s snowfall ranged from an inch over southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey to as much [...]

While the northern branch continues to sway between a negative NAO to a negative EPO pattern, the influence of the northern branch will [...]

So far, the 12Z NAM and part of the 12Z GFS has come out and there are some points I like to make.
There are some comments that the GFS/NAM are warmer. Given the account for some error, the rate of warming at 850 MB is about the same. The warm air at 850 [...]

Obviously the news of the Arctic Blast that will impact the forecast area on Thursday through Sunday has been talked about in several areas.
The main threat I want to convey about this air mass is not to take this situation likely. I have a strong feeling that the MOS guidance is still too warm [...]

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.
