Wet rush hour marks the start of soaked weekend

3:50 PM
The rain is here and it is not going to be stopping any time soon through this weekend, which will be a perfect time to catch up on some movies, a good book, or perhaps finally conquer a very difficult video game.  What ever you do this weekend, it likely will not be done [...]

Blizzard conditions expected from Philadelphia through New York City

8:22 AM
A significant winter storm is beginning to develop over the Gulf Coast that will bring the entire forecast area heavy snowfall and very strong winds.  The most significant impacts will be focused towards the coastal plain once again, where many locations have experienced one of the snowiest winters of all time.  This storm will [...]

Coastal storm reaches peak impact today

6:45 AM
A lot of interesting developments happened over night as a gravity wave appears to have impacted the southern Mid Atlantic, which caused the rain shield to unexpectedly collapse overnight.  However, another round of rain has finally started to move back into the coast from southern Connecticut to south-central New Jersey.  Despite the unexpected relatively dry [...]

Coastal low to have lingering influence through the week

5:15 AM
This morning, a strong upper level disturbance continues to dig into the Tennessee Valley and Southeast while a strong upper low is forming over the Canadian Maritimes.  These two features are combining to produce an atmospheric set up much like what is seen in late Fall or in the Winter.  The development of the [...]

Quiet now, action packed weekend unfolding

This morning very [...]

A very wet start to a Tuesday

7:03 AM
If you wake up and you are not sure if this is July or October, you aren’t alone.  Model guidance appears to be behaving like it is late fall as well with some pour handling of the forecast thus far as most guidance does not handle the extent and coverage of the rainfall just [...]

Evening Thoughts

8:58 PM
An area of low pressure is starting to develop over the Georgia and South Carolina coast this evening and will quickly move up the coast overnight to bring the forecast area a period of moderate to heavy rainfall, especially right along the coast.
Note this evening’s water vapor image.  I drew the latest 500 MB [...]

Severe weather potentially explosive tomorrow afternoon

9:38 PM
A preview of the a potentially very active afternoon was seen this afternoon over much of southern Monmouth and Ocean counties of New Jersey this afternoon.  A weak disturbance, a remnant from the MCS that impacted much of the Mid West early this morning, sparked off a cluster of showers and thunderstorms.  These thunderstorms [...]

Heavy rain today, beautiful conditions for the weekend

7:10 AM
Sometimes in life there are important trade offs that we must make.  In terms of weather conditions, the forecast area will go through a very wet, raw Friday to get to two days of exceptional weather conditions this weekend.  
This morning, an area of low pressure developing over central North Carolina.  As the upper [...]
