The pleasant weather conditions from yesterday are about to come to an end. So is my confidence in model guidance, by the way. However, before I get to that, let’s take a look at the precipitation that is charging towards the forecast area.
High pressure currently centered over eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island, will continue [...]

Weak high pressure is exiting off this coast through this afternoon while a very weak cold front is pushing south through New England and the eastern Great Lakes this morning. This cold front will be a key player through much of this coming weak, as I will explain shortly.

The one obvious observation that stands out on this morning’s IR satellite is that high pressure is in strong control over much of the Mid Atlantic and Northeast this morning. However, another low pressure system and cold front is slowly moving out of the Plains and moving towards the Great Lakes, which will bring [...]

Last night I discussed the fact that the 12Z ECWMF from yesterday was not a solution to be trusted given the overall state of the current atmospheric set up. There was some confusion by some about what I was saying. So let me be very detailed here.
1. Just because there is an upper low [...]

The 00Z NAM and GFS tonight are showing the potential for a major to history winter storm over the forecast area Monday night into Wednesday morning.
So what caused the change in the models? The introduction of the additional energy from the northern Pacific in the form of the jet streak that I discussed [...]

I don’t think anyone can argue that the model guidance has warmed. There has been little shift in the actual storm track, but the low pressure systems that impact the forecast area appear to have stronger WAA at the mid levels are the very least. There is a lot to consider here, but I [...]

Sink or swim, I am going to take a stand of where I think this pattern and the set up from Sunday night through Thursday ends up. As you know, I’ve been taking a cue from the pattern similar to this set up from the PDII storm, stating that the set up is rather [...]
